5-2 Installing the Operating System with Express Setup

About Express Setup

Express Setup helps you to install the Windows operating system. It automatically configures the
RAID array and installs the operating system and management software.
IMPORTANT: Using Express Setup erases all data on the hard disk
drive.
You can also use a parameters file with Express Setup that contains parameters for installation.
If you want to set up the server as before, use Express Setup with the parameters file you have
created.
NOTES:
If you want to create a parameters file, have a blank floppy disk
(MS-DOS 1.44MB format) ready.
When using a floppy disk, a USB floppy disk drive is required.
If you want to use the drivers located on the "OEM-Disk for Mass
Storage Device" that ships with optional boards, a parameters file
is required.
You can create a parameters file in advance using "Parameter File
Creator" included in NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
