If you have installed an ISA non-plug-and-play accessory board, you must reserve
system resources for it before you run Configuration Assistant or Installation
Assistant. Refer to the "Installing ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Boards" in Chapter 4,
"Accessories," for instructions.
Then run Configuration Assistant and Installation Assistant:
1. Boot the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. Turn on the monitor and the
NetServer, and insert the Navigator CD-ROM into the drive. Turn the
power off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the power on again. If the system
fails to start, follow the instructions on the screen.
2. When HP Navigator starts, you may need to set the language and the time
and date. Follow the onscreen instructions. You can also change the
language of the BIOS when prompted.
3. Go to the HP Navigator Main Menu and select "Configuration and
Installation Assistant."
4. Follow the onscreen instructions in Configuration Assistant to continue
your HP NetServer installation. For details, refer to the HP NetServer
E 45 - E 50 Installation Road Map, and to Information Assistant on the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. See Chapter 3, "HP Information
Assistant," for instructions on installing and running Information
Assistant.
Express Configuration
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. 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detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the HP Navigator
CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to
continue in Express mode. You can also update the language that the
BIOS displays.
•
Select NOS: You will be asked to select the NOS and version that you
plan to install.
•
Select NOS Installation Mode: For certain versions of Novell NetWare /
IntranetWare and Microsoft Windows NT Server, you will be asked,
Would you like to use HP's automated mode of NOS
installation?
