IMPORTANT:

!Before starting the installation, complete the addition of optional boards and settings of required BIOS values.

!Use this User's Guide when installing Windows 2000 on this server system. Do not use the installation guide for installing Windows

2000 that may be packaged with other software not supplied with this system.

!After completing Express Setup, see "Setup for Problem Resolution" described later to configure your system to facilitate problem resolution and recovery.

Installing on the Mirrored Volume

If you want to install Windows 2000 on a volume that has been mirrored using "Disk Management", you must invalidate the mirror before re-installing the system on a basic disk, and reconfigure the mirror after the installation has completed.

Management of a mirror volume can be performed from "Disk Management" under "Computer Management".

Connecting Magnetic Optical (MO) Device

If you are installing Windows 2000 with a MO device connected to the system, the installation may not be completed correctly. In this case, remove the MO device and then reinstall the system.

Connecting Hard Disk Drive

The hard disk drive that is to contain the OS can only be connected to a different SCSI controller after the OS is installed on it.
