Installing and Using Utilities 6-5

Express Setup

"Express Setup" is intended for initial setup of the server. Its automatic installation mode guides
the user easily through the process by detailing specific hardware features and providing screen
prompts for software selection and configuration. The program loads the utilities and drivers,
applies RAID settings, partitions the disk, and installs the desired operating system.

If you install Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server, after a few tasks are completed, all
that remains to be done is to remove the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM and install the
Windows CD-ROM, input a product ID number, and acknowledge the license agreement.

IMPORTANT:

The Express Setup is intended for the initial setup of the server
system and, therefore, the Express Setup clears the contents of the
hard disk.

Once Express setup is started, do not remove "Configuration
Diskette" from the floppy disk drive without any directions.

Tools

"Tools" is also intended for initial setup of the server. It provides more installation options than
Express Setup and permits the user to quickly create utility support disks, run the Off-line
Maintenance Utility and system diagnostic utility, set up a maintenance partition, and update the
various BIOS programs.

Save/Restore RAID Configuration Data

The item allows the configuration information on the disk array system to be saved or
restored from the floppy disk.

If the HostRAID and LSI-Logic disk array controllers are used together, the configuration
information of HostRAID is saved or restored. If the Adaptec Zero channel raid controller
(ZCR) and LSI-Logic disk array controller are used together, the configuration
information of ZCR is saved or restored.

IMPORTANT:

In these cases, If you want to save or restore the

configuration information of LSI-Logic disk array controller, refer to
the "Power Console Plus User's Guide".
