4-14 Windows Setup

Step 4: Start the Express Setup

Set up with the Express Setup functions of NEC EXPRESS BUILDER.

“Express Setup” is a setup method for NEC Express5800 series to smoothly configure settings as internal parameters and status of hardware and to install OS (Windows Server 2003) and various utilities by using the “NEC EXPRESSBUILDER” CD-ROM which comes with the server. Use this “Express Setup” when using hard disk drives with their partition setting different from those at shippment, or when reinstalling the OS. It performs complicated setups automatically.

Express Setup edits the information required for the setup and saves it to a floppy disk before the setup, to proceed a series of setup processes. The floppy disk used here is called [Configuration diskette].

TIPS:

„[Configuration diskette] is a setup disk that stores the information set/selected during Express Setup.

Express Setup executes all the setup process automatically, based on this information. It is not necessary to sit by the system and check the status, during the setup. Also, if you use the Configuration diskette that has been used last time, you can create the same setup condition as the previous one.

„Users are responsible for preparing the Configuration diskette.

„You can create a parameter file in advance, by using “Configuration Diskette Creator®” in NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.

If you create [Configuration diskette] in advance, you can skip the options that need to be entered or selected during Express Setup. (You can create or modify the setup information in the Configuration diskette, during Express Setup). If any computer that is running on Windows XP/2000/Windows Server 2003 is available, it is recommended to edit the setup information with Configuration Diskette Creator in advance.

„You cannot use the mouse in the Express Setup. Use the keyboard to proceed the setup.

For the procedure to create a parameter file with Configuration Diskette Creator, refer to User’s Guide.

zReinstalling the OS to the hard disk drive that has been upgraded to dynamic disk

You cannot reinstall Windows Server 2003 if the existing partition of the hard disk drive that has been upgraded to dynamic disk is still there.
