Checking before OS Installation
■Cautions for Installing a Memory Module
This server supports up to 16GB of memory. However, the maximum installable size varies depending
on the OS. Furthermore, since the server uses part of the memory as PCI resources, the maximum
available size is limited.
The following shows the maximum installable size and the maximum available size.
* 1: Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition support up to 4GB of memory.
* 2: Because 0.63GB of memory is used as PCI resources, the available memory size varies depending on the
installed card.
●Cautions Applicable When the OS is Windows Server 2003, Enterprise

Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server

When installing 4GB or more of memory in a server operating with Windows 2000 Advanced Server or
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, the /PAE option in the "Boot.ini" file must be described. For
the procedure for editing the "Boot.ini" file, refer to the manual supplied with the OS.
The "Boot.ini" file is an important file for the system. If the file is edited improperly, the system may not
start up. Edit it carefully.

■LAN Cable
Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet. If the OS is installed
or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable to the LAN card, an error
may be recorded in the event viewer after setup completes.
Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet
until the setup completes.
