Installing the Operating System with Express Setup 5-3
Express Setup uses "Configuration Diskette". The Configuration Diskette is a floppy disk that
includes the configuration information for the server setup used in the automatic installation mode.
Express Setup will perform all the process of the setup using the information in the floppy disk.
During this procedure, you do not have to be in front of the Express server to confirm the state of
the setup. Also, using the same Configuration Diskette used before allows you to re-setup your
server with the same condition as before.
Express Setup includes two types of installation method.
„
Quick start
Quick start uses the Configuration Diskette that the configuration parameters for server
setup are pre-loaded before starting the Express Setup. The configuration parameters are
loaded by using the Configuration Diskette Creator (see Chapter 6).
„
Normal start
Normal start is to create the Configuration Diskette after starting the Express Setup.
NOTES:
„
Use the blank disk in the accessory box to create Configuration
Diskette.
„
You can create Configuration Diskette in advance using
"Configuration Diskette Creator" included in NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER.
„
If you create Configuration Diskette in advance, you can
abbreviate the items that is necessary to input or select during
Express Setup. (You can also create or modify the setup
