4.2.3 Windows installation
The installation of Windows Server 2003 on the server consists of these five
phases:
Pre-installation phase
Starting the installation
Text-mode setup
GUI setup
Post-setup phase
4.2.4 Pre-installation phase
Perform the following tasks before you begin the installation:
Before powering on the server, verify that the hardware is configured properly
(proper cabling, using only supported disks, adapters and memory modules).
Before commencing the installation, ensure that firmware levels have been
updated to the latest levels. Refer to 4.1.2, "Flash update" on page 80.
Refer to "Installing additional drivers" on page 93 for information on device
drivers required for the installation of Windows Server 2003.
Disconnect the RXE-100 if you have one. Once the installation is complete,
you may reconnect it.
Note: If you do leave the RXE-100 connected during installation, then
when you reboot in future, if you ever disconnect the RXE-100, the boot
sequence will hang at the black screen immediately after you see the
"Starting Windows" text. (This restriction may be corrected by a firmware
update by the time you read this.)
