Server Advice: DL385

Hey all,

Just become the proud owner of my first real production server. It is a DL385, AMD 252 (2.6 GHz) Opteron, 1GIG RAM etc etc. Full specs: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/q.../12162_na.HTML

I would like some advice on what I need to do prior to installing an OS. Specifically, the sorts of benchmarks, stress test and reliability tests to be sure it is ready for production.

I imagine this would take the form of a process that you all go through before using a server. My experience in this area extends to running a Memtest.

Also, any general advice would be great.

Thanks,
Jim
