Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Release 1.4.0 User's Guide

Selecting an Operating System Available in the List

To install an operating system that is available in the list:
  1. From the list, select the required operating system, and then click Next. The drivers are extracted to the OEMDRV directory, and Lifecycle Controller prompts you to insert the operating system installation media.
  2. Lifecycle Controller displays two installation modes — UEFI or BIOS. Select one of the options and click Next. If the selected operating system does not support the UEFI mode, the UEFI option is grayed-out. However, if the operating system that is being installed has partial support for UEFI–based installation, it may fail and you may not be able to boot into the operating system. Make sure to see the operating system documentation before installing the operating system in UEFI mode. Else, set the boot mode to BIOS and install the operating system.
  3. Insert the standard operating system installation media when prompted, and then click Next. Lifecycle Controller validates the media.
  4. If the standard operating system installation media is validated, continue the installation. Else, insert the correct media and click Next. The Reboot the System page is displayed.
