Configuration Assistant
Configuration Assistant guides you through the steps necessary to configure
the NetServer. Three methods of configuration are available: Express, Custom,
and Replicate.
Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer
since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you
default selections. An Express configuration includes the following steps:
•
Update System BIOS: This step appears if Configuration Assistant
detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the Navigator
CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to
continue in Express mode.
•
Install NOS (automated mode): In automatic mode, if you are installing
certain versions of Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows
NT Server, HP’s automated installation process guides you through the
NOS installation and configures your hard disk drive and NOS according
to certain preset parameters.
•
Create Drivers Diskette: If you choose to install the NOS with the
vendor-supplied installation utility included with the NOS software, you
will create a customized diskette containing HP drivers and configuration
files that you will need when you install the NOS.
•
Show Configured Cards: This step shows configured PCI boards and
Plug-and-Play ISA boards.
