If you need to verify or modify SCSI host adapter settings, or if you need
to low-level format SCSI disks or verify SCSI disk media, run the
SCSISelect utility. Refer to "Run SCSISelect Utility" in Chapter 1,
"Installation Overview."
If you have installed an ISA non-plug-and play accessory board, you must
reserve system resources for it. Refer to the "Installing ISA Non-Plug-
and-Play Boards" in Chapter 4, "Accessories," for instructions.
After you run Configuration Assistant and Installation Assistant, remember to
install TopTools. Refer to the HP NetServer Management Reference Guide.

Express Configuration

Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer,
since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you
default selections. Express configuration includes the following steps:
Update System BIOS: This step appears if Configuration Assistant
detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the HP Navigator
CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to
continue in Express mode. You can also update the language that the
BIOS displays.
Configure ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board: If you have installed an ISA
non-plug-and-play board, and you have not reserved system resources for
it, select Configure Non-PnP board on the information window that pops
up.
Select NOS: You will be asked to select the NOS and version that you
plan to install.
Select NOS Installation Mode: For certain versions of Novell NetWare /
IntranetWare and Microsoft Windows NT Server, you will be asked,
Would you like to use HP's automated mode of NOS
installation?
Select Yes for automated NOS installation, which will guide you
through the NOS installation, set up the hard disk drive, and configure
your NOS with appropriate drivers for HP-bundled configurations.
Perform an automated NOS installation for first-time installation of
Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server on a
factory-configured HP NetServer.
