VMware ESXi 5.0 Server Installation
Many modern servers are designed with internal USB or SD slots. When extracted
with a memory device, they can be used for the installation destination of ESXi.
Perform the following to install VMware ESXi server software:
1. Start the standard installer from the ESXi installer (Figure 7).
2. From the Welcome to the VMware ESXi 5.0.0 Installer window, press Enter to
Install (
Figure 8).
3. Read the End User License Agreement, then click press F11 to accept and
continue (
Figure 9).
While servers can come pre-installed in the ESXi, the following outlines the
procedure for a new installation.
The following procedure is only for new installations. It is not recommended to
upgrade though it is available, due to the possible interference with the
configurations in the ESX(i) servers.
