About Express Setup

"Express Setup" contained on your EXPRESSBUILDER CD is intended for initial setup of the
server. Its automatic installation mode guides the user through the process by detailing specific
hardware features and providing screen prompts for software selection and configuration.
"Express Setup" loads the utilities and drivers, applies RAID settings, partitions the disk, and
installs the desired operating system.
IMPORTANT: Express Setup is intended for the initial setup of the
server system. Therefore, it clears any prior content of the hard disk.
For Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, Express Setup automatically configures
your server and installs the operating system. After some initial setup, you need to remove the
EXPRESSBUILDER CD and insert the Windows CD, input a product ID number, and
acknowledge the license agreement.
For Novell NetWare and the other operating systems, Express Setup initializes the target disk(s),
creates the maintenance partition, and installs the various maintenance utilities from the
EXPRESSBUILDER CD to prepare your server to a ready-to-install state for the desired
operating system.
