Advisories

This section contains advisories on the ExpressBuilder, System Element

ExpressBuilder

The following advisory applies to ExpressBuilder 2.8.

!

 

If you already have an operating system installed when creating a
maintenance partition, ExpressBuilder will warn you of the existing
partition. If you want to preserve the installed operating system, do not
create the maintenance partition or the existing operating system will be
overlaid by the maintenance partition.

!

 

The Administrator Menu in the System Information Management segment
of the Offline Maintenance Utility is not user accessible.

!

 

ExpressBuilder operates in floppy emulation mode. Your system CD-ROM
drive is designated Drive A and your system diskette drive is Drive B. After
creating the Off-line Maintenance Utility diskette, ExpressBuilder prompts
you to remove the diskette from Drive B. At this prompt, remove the
diskette from your diskette drive.

!

 

The Alteon Acenic Gigabit Diagnostic Diskette is restricted for this release.
When creating Alteon diskettes, the first and third selections create the same
driver diskette.
