Installation tasks

Understand the installation process and complete the tasks that you are required to do. In this stage, focus on installing the required level of software. You can also learn what is expected of you when the authorized service provider arrives.

Install the software on your source server several weeks before the authorized service provider performs all necessary hardware upgrades. This step helps reduce problems and, if needed, facilitates troubleshooting when the authorized service provider performs the hardware installation. Following the upgrade, configure the server, test the server, and verify that the hardware is reporting in.
