NOTE Refer to an HP NetServer Cluster Configuration Guide for the supported versions of the Navigator CD, server BIOS and NetRAID-4M firmware and driver.

1.Power on Server A and immediately insert the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM into the Server A CD-ROM drive.

2.Allow Server A to boot from the HP Navigator CD-ROM.

3.If the HP Navigator prompts you to update the NetServer BIOS, do so and then return here to continue.

4.Click the language box to select preferred language, then Continue.

5.Verify or set today’s date and time and click Continue.

6.From the menu, select the MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server - Cluster option and click Continue.

7.Read the advisory note about Q252332. Because this configuration has the latest Service Pack installed which includes the referenced hot fix, this is no longer an issue. Click OK.
