Copy server configuration software to diskettes
When you copy software from the CD onto diskettes, device drivers suitable for several different
operating systems are copied onto the diskettes. However, your operating system will read only
those drivers it can recognize, so you cannot usually check the directory of a diskette that is not
formatted for your operating system. Instead, you may see a message to the effect, “Disk not
formatted, do you want to format it now?” Don’t worry; the drivers for YOUR operating system
should be present on the diskette and available for you to load on the system.
1.
Before starting, make sure that you have on hand several blank high-density diskettes.

From the CD-ROM menu bar, select Create Diskettes and press <Enter>.

If server won’t boot from the CD
It is possible that your server was shipped with the diskette drive or another device set as the first
boot device. If so, the server will try to boot from a diskette or other device rather than from the
CD we have provided. By pressing <Esc> during POST, you can override the boot sequence
specified in Setup by selecting a different primary boot device. This override is valid only for that
specific boot. Subsequent boots revert back to the sequence specified in Setup. If the chosen
device fails to load the operating system, the BIOS reverts to the previous boot sequence. The
<Esc> hot key is valid while the “Press <F2> key to enter Setup” message is displayed on the
screen. At the end of POST, if the <Esc> key was pressed, a pop-up boot menu is displayed. It
allows you to change the boot sequence, or to enter Setup and permanently change the sequence.
To override the boot sequence, do this:
1.
Press the reset switch on the front panel to reboot the server—the CD can be in the drive or
not.
2.
When POST displays this message:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
