SmartStart Assisted-Path Installation
for Windows 2000
IMPORTANT: The SmartStart assisted-path installation can only be used when the server
uses an installed array controller.
The SmartStart CD provides assistance for installing and configuring
Microsoft Window 2000 as your operating system.
1. Place the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive and power on your
server.
2. At the first SmartStart selection screen, select the assisted install option.
IMPORTANT: With SmartStart-assisted installation, you may select a boot partition size
of no less than 2 GB and up to 4 GB. If you need to create a larger boot partition, select
the SmartStart manual installation option.
NOTE: Fibre Channel array controllers are not eligible as boot devices.
3. Provide system and configuration information when prompted by the
SmartStart interview process. The information you enter during the
SmartStart setup interview installs and configures Windows 2000 for
your server automatically.
NOTE: If you wish to use Dynamic Disk capability in Windows 2000, leave at least 4 MB
of disk space unpartitioned.
4. When you have completed the interview, select the installation path for
Microsoft Windows 2000.
5. Select Server or Advanced Server installation when prompted. Refer to
your Windows 2000 user license for additional information.
6. Insert the Microsoft Windows 2000 software CD when prompted.
IMPORTANT: The assisted installation of Windows 2000 uses typical network settings by
default and does not provide a clear choice for selecting custom settings. If you need to
configure your network using custom settings, use the Back button in the setup utility
when you first encounter a network setup screen to return to the screen that allows you to
select the option for Custom Settings.
7. Restart your server when prompted to complete the installation.
