Installing the Operating System 4-3

Express Setup requires a "Configuration Diskette". The Configuration Diskette is a floppy disk that includes the configuration information for the server to be automatically installed. Express Setup will perform the entire process of the setup using the information in the floppy disk.

During this procedure, you do not have to be in front of the Express server to confirm the state of the setup. Also, using the same Configuration Diskette used before allows you to re-setup your server with the same condition as before.

Express Setup includes two types of installation method.

!Quick start

Quick start uses a Configuration Diskette with configuration parameters for the server, which were pre-specified before starting the Express Setup. Configuration parameters can be pre-specified by using Express Setup for Windows (see EXPRESSBUILDER User's Guide on the EXPRESSBUILDER CD).

!Normal start

Normal start creates the Configuration Diskette during Express Setup.

NOTES:

!To perform Express Setup, BIOS Setup must prioritize the CD-ROM drive before the diskette drive and hard drive.

!You can create Configuration Diskette in advance using "Express Setup for Windows" included in EXPRESSBUILDER.

!By creating the Configuration Diskette in advance, you can minimize the number of items that is necessary to input or select during Express Setup. (You can also create or modify the setup information stored on a Configuration Diskette during Express Setup.) If you have a computer other than Express5800 server that is running with Windows 95/98, Windows NT 3.51 or later, or Windows 2000, we recommend you to edit setup information from the computer in advance using Express Setup for Windows.

For more information on how to create Configuration Diskette using Express Setup for Windows, see EXPRESSBUILDER User's Guide on the EXPRESSBUILDER CD.
