<h1 class="topictitle1">Planning the installation</h1>
<div><p>This topic covers planning for the installation of Linux<sup>®</sup> on the
Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> platform.</p>
<p>This provides the basic information needed to plan for the implementation
of Linux on
the Integrated xSeries platform. The distributors provide special instructions
for the installation of their Linux distributions on supported xSeries models.
You must follow these special instructions for installation on the Integrated xSeries platform.</p>
<p>The hardware installation and configuration is not covered in depth because
it is identical to that which has been documented elsewhere for Windows<sup>®</sup> integration.
However, there are some minor differences in the supported hardware between
integrated Windows and Linux servers, which are documented. The
general considerations involved in installing the hardware for those who are
unfamiliar with the integration product are summarized, and references are
provided to more detailed information regarding supported hardware configurations.
Post-installation tasks you need to perform to complete the installation of
the integrated Linux server are also covered.</p>
