 | |  |  | An operating system is necessary to operate your server. Purchasing the operating system pre-installed on the server can save time by reducing your setup and installation steps. It also assures that youre running a properly licensed version of the most current version of the OS of your choice. Note: Dell does not certify/support Operating Systems that are not listed below to run on PowerEdge SC420 Servers.

 | |  |  | Windows Server (Standard & Enterprise editions) and Small Business Server (Standard and Premium Editions) require CALs for each device accessing the network. CALs are only valid for the correct corresponding OS - either Windows Server or Small Business Server versions. A factory-preinstalled (OEM) operating system purchased with the server (available above) includes the first 5 CALs free. Additional CALs purchased here will be shipped with the server -- located in a plastic envelope in the documentation box (click here for photo). Other software licensing options are available by phone. Please contact your Dell Technical Sales Representative at 1-800-953-1401 for additional software needs. |
