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, after a few tasks are completed, all that remains to be done is to
remove the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM and insert the Windows CD-ROM, input a product ID number, and
acknowledge the license agreement.

IMPORTANT:

„

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

„

When the setup is started, do not turn off the server until the setup is completed, and
also make sure not to remove the "Configuration Diskette" from the floppy disk drive
until the message that allow you to remove it appeared.

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.

– Save Disk Array Configuration Data

The configuration information on the disk array controller is saved into the floppy disk. If you set or
change RAID, always use this function to save the configuration information into a floppy disk.

– Restore Disk Array Configuration Data

The configuration information saved in a floppy disk is restored to NVRAM and hard disk on the disk
array controller.

If the configuration information is broken or changed by mistake, restore the configuration information.

When the defected disk array controller is replaced, the configuration information on the hard disk must
be saved into the disk array controller.

However, if the configuration information on the new disk array controller is saved into a hard disk, use
this function to restore the configuration information.

IMPORTANT: Some Disk Array Controllers do not support this function. In that case,
this menu will not be shown.
