8 Getting Started With Your System

USC extracts the drivers required by the operating system you selected.
NOTE: For Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4.x server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x
server, the drivers are extracted to OEMDRV under /oemdrv/*.rpm.
For SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, the drivers are extracted under
/linux/suse/x86_64-sles10/install/*.rpm.
NOTE: The process for extracting the drivers may take several minutes.
NOTE: All drivers copied by the OS Deployment wizard are removed after 18 hours. You
must complete the operating system installation within 18 hours for the copied drivers to be
available. To remove the drivers before the 18-hour period is over, reboot the system and
press the <F10> key to re-enter USC.
12
After the drivers are extracted, USC prompts you to insert the operating
system installation media.
NOTE: When installing the Microsoft Windows operating system, the extracted drivers are
automatically installed during the operating system installation. When installing the Linux
operating system, the operating system installation uses native drivers. After the Linux
installation is complete, you need to manually install the drivers extracted by USC. See
"Update Drivers for Linux Systems Only".

.
NOTE: USC supports internal SATA optical drives and USB optical drives. If the
installation media is corrupt or not readable, then USC may be unable to detect the presence
of a supported optical drive. In this case, you may receive an error message stating that no
optical drive is available. If the media is not valid (if it is the incorrect CD or DVD, for
example), a message displays requesting that you insert the correct installation media

Click Finish to reboot the system and continue with the operating system
installation. Upon reboot, the system boots to the operating system
installation media.
NOTE: When the system reboots after you click Finish, you may be prompted to press a
key before booting to the operating system installation media. If you do not press a key, the
system boots to the hard drive and not the operating system installation media.
NOTE: : In the event that the operating system installation is interrupted and the system
reboots before installation completes, you may be prompted to press a key in order to boot
from the operating system installation media.
NOTE: You can cancel the operating system installation by pressing the <F10> key.
Pressing the <F10> key at any point during the installation process or while rebooting causes
any drivers provided by the OS Deployment wizard to be removed.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 UEFI operating system installations are not
currently supported.
CAUTION: During Red Hat 5.x installation, you will receive a warning that a read-only
file system was detected; Linux has detected the temporary storage area of USC that stores
updates for your system. Click OK, and a second warning will appear indicating that the
