# About This Guide ## EnGenius Server 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
