Connecting Hard Disk
Connect the hard disk that operating system is not going to be installed on after installing the operating system.
NOTE: If you connect the N8103-81F board as a data disk, clear disk array controller's
configuration information before you perform the Express Setup. The process for clearing
configuration information is described in the manual attached to the N8103-81F board.
Creating Partition Size
The size for the partition that the system is to be installed can be calculated from the following formula.
Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size + Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 2900 MB
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump File Size
= Mounted Memory Size + 12 MB
Application Size = Required Size
IMPORTANT:
„
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug
information (memory dump). The paging file with initial size large enough to store the
dump file in the boot drive is required.
It may not be possible to collect correct debug information due to virtual memory
shortage when the paging file is insufficient, so set a paging file size large enough for
the entire system.
„ The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is 4095 MB. If the
above paging file size exceeds 4095 MB, specify 4095 MB for the paging file size.
„ The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2 GB memory mounted is
'2048 MB + 12 MB'.
„ If you install any application program or the like, add necessary space to the partition
to install these programs.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512 MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as
follows:
2900 MB + (512 MB * 1.5) + (512 MB + 12 MB) + Application Size = 4192 MB + Application Size
Re-installing to the hard disk which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk
You cannot re-install Windows Server 2003 with the current partition of the hard disk upgraded to Dynamic Disk kept
remained.
If you want to keep the current partition remained, see Appendix E to re-install the system.
About maintenance partition (the area displayed as "MAINTE_P")
The maintenance partition for server maintenance is reserved in the head of Hard Disk Drive (a partition of
approximately 55 MB). This area is for saving some maintenance utilities. Do not delete the maintenance partition.
