OS Installation

Click the OS Installation tab in the left pane to enter the OS Installation interface. The OS Installation interface provides a configuration wizard for installing an operating system.

Note
If you want to configure RAID settings before installing an operating system, it is recommended to do the configuration in the RAID Setup interface. If you do the configuration in UEFI Setup, you must restart your server before installing the operating system to ensure that the RAID configuration takes effect.
