If your workstation was shipped with a preinstalled operating system, it is configured automatically the
first time your workstation is powered on. This process may take a few minutes.
Adding optional hardware devices to your workstation before the operating system successfully installs
can cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing properly.
CAUTION After the automatic installation has begun, do not power off your workstation until
this process completes. Powering off your workstation during the installation process might
damage the software that runs the system.
