Windows Installation Checklists

PowerPath Checklist — New Windows Server and Existing Storage System Without Boot Disk

This checklist is for an existing storage system that will not contain a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 boot disk. If you want the existing storage system to contain a boot disk, use the procedure that starts on 7-25.

Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be completed before the service provider arrives.

The Without Access Logix column does not apply to CX300, CX500, CX500i, and CX700 storage systems because they ship from the factory with the Access Logix enabler installed.
