Cautions For Using Serverstart - Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX120 User Manual

Notes
• When a RAID-configured disk is used
Hard disk units that have been used before may have unwanted partition information or array
configuration information, which may cause unexpected problems. If you connect any hard disk units
with usage history to this server, format them at low level on another system before connecting them
to the server. For information on how to format the hard disk units, refer to the manual supplied with
the system to be used.
• To remove the disks
When configuring RAID using ServerStart, use the background initialization function to initialize the
array. Confirm that the initialization is completed using a tool, such as RAID management utility,
before removing the disks. For details, refer to "Integrated Mirroring SAS User's Guide" in the Array
Controller Document & Tool CD.

2.3.3 Cautions for Using ServerStart

Observe the cautions described below when the OS installation is performed with ServerStart.
Operating ServerStart
Mainly, a mouse is used for ServerStart operations. In some cases, operation with the [Tab] key or
cursor are not available. Be sure to use a mouse while operating ServerStart.
Configuration file (SerStartBatch.ini)
A configuration file stores the server setup and client information configured in ServerStart. To create a
configuration file, use the ServerStart floppy disk supplied with this server. Store only one file on each
floppy disk. Do not set the ServerStart floppy disk to the write-protected state.
You can use any name for the configuration file. However, the file must be installed in the server as
"SerStartBatch.ini". When installing the configuration file, make sure to save it as "SerStartBatch.ini" on
the ServerStart floppy disk. Start up ServerStart, insert the ServerStart floppy disk containing
"SerStartBatch.ini", and click [Start] to install the server.
Ejecting PRIMERGY Startup Disc
Do not eject PRIMERGY Startup Disc while ServerStart is running. If the PRIMERGY Startup Disc is
ejected and inserted again, ServerStart starts up in multiple windows, and settings you have made may
be lost.
Exiting ServerStart
After operation in the Expert mode, exiting ServerStart restarts the system. Remove discs from the
floppy disk and CD/DVD drives and click [OK]. When the display on the screen disappears, turn off the
system.
