Chapter 4

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

2.Insert your HP Startup CD in a Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions to create the Windows 2000 SCSI driver diskette (HP disk W2K SCSI).

NOTE

If the Windows PC does not auto-start the Startup menu, start it

 

by opening Startup.htm found at the root level of the Startup

 

CD.

 

 

Section 2. Perform Windows 20000 Installation

NOTE

Though you may install Windows 2000 from Setup diskettes or

 

directly from Windows 2000 CD-ROM, we recommend you

 

the second method because it is faster.

 

 

1.Boot your new server from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

2.You will see a message that reads "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration". Then the setup screen will be displayed.

3.The system will briefly show at the bottom of the display:

Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID controller

If you have a SCSI model:

a.Press S to specify additional SCSI adapters.

b.When prompted, insert the HP disk W2K SCSI you created from tc2110 startup CD.

c.Press Enter to continue.

d.Select the "Adaptec Ultra 160 Family PCI SCSI Controller Win 2000", then press Enter

NOTE

Unfortunately Windows 2000 setup only gives you a very short

 

time to press F6. If you missed it, you should reboot your

 

system and resume from step 1 above.

 

 

4.Press Enter to continue at the "Windows 2000 Server Setup - Welcome to Setup" Screen.
