5-2 Installing and Using Utilities

NEC EXPRESSBUILDER

The NEC EXPRESSBUILDER, integrated setup software, can automatically detect the hardware connected to an NEC Express5800/ft series machine to advance the processing. The hardware subject to setup with the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER should have the same configuration as that for operation.

Start Menu

The NEC EXPRESSBUILDER provides three procedures to start the server as described below. The menus and items appearing on the screen vary depending on the procedures.

Booting (starting) the server from NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM

For the procedure, insert the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the NEC Express5800/ft series and start the NEC Express5800/ft series from the system in the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER. When the NEC Express5800/ft series is started by using this procedure, the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER top menu shown on the right appears.

Perform the NEC Express5800/ft series setup from this menu.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use this CD-ROM on computers other than NEC Express5800/ft series with which it is packaged (including other NEC Express5800 models). Otherwise, a breakdown may result.

The execution of "Setup" of the menu causes the OS installed previously to be erased. OS must also be reinstalled.

See "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER Top Menu" for details.

Booting (starting) the server from NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM in the consoleless state

If the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER is started from the CD-ROM drive in the server with the keyboard, mouse, and/or display unit not connected to the server, the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER Tools Menu shown on the right appears on the screen of the management computer (PC) connected to the server through LAN or COM (serial port).
