Installation Assistant.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue installation on the NetServer.
Three methods of configuration are available: Express, Custom, and Replicate.
Express Configuration
Express configuration is the preferred method of configuring your NetServer since it leads you through the
configuration process in sequence and offers default selections. Express configuration includes the following
steps:
Update System BIOS:
Select NOS:
Select NOS Installation Mode:
View Configuration Advisories:
Configure Remote Management:
Show System Information:
Configure Disk Array:
Install Utility Partition:
Execute Card Utilities:
Custom Configuration
In Custom configuration mode, you perform the same configuration steps as provided in Express
configuration mode, but these may be done in any order.
After you have selected the NOS, NOS version, and NOS installation mode (automated or manual), and after
you have viewed the Configuration Advisories, the Custom Configuration screen displays the following menu:
Replicate Configuration
In Replicate configuration mode, you can save a copy of your current system configuration or load a
previously saved configuration. This method saves time when configuring multiple, identical systems. Select
Replicate on the Configuration Assistant menu.
