EAS series OS Deployment Guide

This guide provides comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for setting up your EnGenius AI Server and deploying a supported operating system. It is structured into three main parts to walk you through the entire process, from initial hardware configuration to a fully operational OS.

• Part 1: Initial Server Setup covers the foundational steps necessary to prepare your server. This includes connecting to the serial console, configuring essential BIOS settings, and accessing the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to mount installation media.

• Part 2: Operating System Installation offers detailed deployment guides for three major operating systems: Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Each chapter provides specific instructions tailored to that OS.

Part 3: Appendix provides supplementary information, including a troubleshooting guide for common issues and a glossary of key terms used throughout this manual.
