Step 4A : Start Express Setup
Set up with the Express Setup functions of EXPRESSBUILDER.
“Express Setup” is a setup method for Fault Tolerant Server series that allows configuration of
hardware internal parameters and status and installation of OS (Windows Server 2003) and various
utilities in seamless manners by using “EXPRESSBUILDER” DVD which comes with the server.
Use the “Express Setup” to install the OS. It performs complicated setups automatically.
Express Setup edits the information required for the setup, saves it to a floppy disk before the setup,
reads the information one by one at the setup and automatically performs a series of setup processes.
TIPS:
„ Parameters file is a setup file 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. If you use the parameters file that has been used last time, you can create
the same setup condition as the previous one.
„ You can create a parameter file in advance, by using “Parameter File” in
EXPRESSBUILDER.
If you create a 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/Vista/Windows Server 2003 is available, it is
recommended to edit the setup information with Configuration Diskette Creator in
advance.

This device does not include the floppy disk (FD) drive by standard. Prepare an
optional floppy drive when you create and use parameters file.
