6. Review the system date and time for accuracy and click on the "Continue" button.
7. If a service partition does not exist, you will see a screen listing the drives that the Server
Configuration Wizard has identified. The fields are as follows:
•
Drive#: The order in which the drives were reported by the BIOS. Drive 1 is always the CD-
ROM Drive and cannot have a service partition installed on it.
•
Size: The size of the drive in megabytes.
•
Formatted?: Whether or not the drive has already been formatted for data storage.
•
Unused Space: The amount of space on the drive that has not been used.
•
SP Capable: Whether or not a service partition can be created on the drive. The drive must be
a minimum of 32 MB. Drives over 8 gigabytes must be empty, and the service partition can
only be created on one of the first 8 drives reported. If you do not see a screen listing the
available drives, it means a service partition has already been created. When you click
"Continue", the existing service partition will be updated.
8. Click "Continue". The service partition will be created or updated.
NOTE
After the service partition is installed, you can boot to it by pressing <F4>
during POST. The service partition operating system is ROM-DOS. Once you
have booted to the service partition, you will be at a DOS prompt. From the
prompt, you can access the System Setup Utility and perform server
management functions by running batch files and executables.
