Modules

You must configure the following modules to set up your appliance:
Module Description
Welcome Describes the appliance settings that you can configure using the wizard.
Software License Agreement Describes the appliance license agreement, machine code terms, IBM® terms, and non-IBM terms.
FIPS mode Allows you to enable FIPS mode, if necessary. If you finish the initial setup without enabling FIPS mode, you cannot enable it later without reinstalling the appliance.
