Getting Started

To be aware of all considerations, we recommend a review of this entire section for both UNIX and D3 Linux prior to installing. Otherwise, Linux may need to be reinstalled. Complete the worksheet in this section before beginning the installation process, as the contents are used during the installation process.

See the System Administration Guide for assistance with determining parameters and the ideal configuration for the installation.

We also strongly recommend filling in the values of the Customer Service Worksheet in case support is required.
