13. In the Settings screen, enter the password, confirm the password, and click Finish.
The system is locked.
14. To log in to the system, press <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, enter the Admin password, and press <Enter>.
The operating system installation is complete.
NOTE: After you log into the system, you can use the Server Manager Dashboard to configure and
manage different roles and features in the operating system.
Appendix—Partitioning a drive
Drive partitioning allows you to divide a physical hard drive into multiple virtual hard drives. Each virtual
hard drive is called a partition. There are two types of partition schemes:
Master Boot Record scheme
GUID Partition Table scheme
Master boot record scheme
Master boot record (MBR) scheme is a legacy partition scheme that can be used by most operating
systems. The total data storage space of a computer hard drive is divided into at a maximum four primary
partitions.
GUID partition table scheme
GUID partition table (GPT) scheme is a new standard for the layout of the partition table on a physical
hard drive. It is part of the extensible firmware interface (EFI) standard, which is a replacement for the
system BIOS.
Choosing between partition schemes
NOTE: To change your partition scheme from BIOS to UEFI and vice versa during POST, press <F2>,
select Boot Settings, and press <Enter>. Change the value of <Boot Mode> to BIOS or UEFI. For
more information, follow steps 1 to 8 in Using The Dell LifeCycle Controller.
The main considerations for choosing between the partition schemes are:
Hard drive size
Operating system version
Software tools used in the operating system
The MBR partition scheme is used across older versions of Microsoft operating systems. MBR partitioning
scheme supports a volume size smaller than 2 TB. Use the GPT partition scheme for newer operating
systems such as Microsoft Windows Sever 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and
hard drive sizes larger than 2 TB.
NOTE: GPT boot (UEFI boot) is supported only on 11th generation Dell servers onwards.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the GPT partition scheme as it is more flexible, supports
larger hard drive sizes, and has a number of features and recovery mechanisms that are not
available in the MBR partition scheme.
