The first time you start the system, it boots to a Microsoft End User License Agreement
(EULA) screen. After reading and accepting the terms of the agreement, follow the
instructions to continue operating system Setup. Take the default settings provided by Setup,
except as noted in the following text. You can set up a user account and join a workgroup or
domain after you configure the video display and networking.
CAUTION
If you purchased a system with BackOffice Small Business Server, read the documentation
delivered with Small Business Server before continuing. Setup procedures for BackOffice
Small Business Server differ from Setup procedures for Windows NT Server.
NOTE
Before starting the system for the first time, you may want to learn more about system power,
startup, and shutdown. See Chapter 4, "Operating Notes," for this information.
To start the computer and set up the operating system software:
1.
Turn on the monitor by pressing its power switch.
2.
Press the Power button on the base unit for six seconds, and then release the button. The
system starts and the EULA screen displays.
3.
Read the terms of the EULA and then follow the instructions displayed on-screen to
complete the Setup process. A Welcome screen displays, then a prompt for user and
organization, and then a prompt for the product ID. Accept the default settings provided
by Setup, except as follows:
On a system with a 3Com network adapter, the network adapter driver software is not
preinstalled. When prompted to install a network adapter, choose Select from list.
From the displayed list, select 3Com Fast Etherlink XL Adapter (3C905). Allow
Setup to install this driver software.
NOTE
On a system with BackOffice Small Business Server, networking is installed by default and
without user intervention. After Setup completes, go to Network in the Control Panel to set the
system's network address. See the documentation delivered with Small Business Server.
Create an Emergency Repair Disk when prompted.
NOTE
On a system with BackOffice Small Business Server, you will create an Emergency R epair
Disk after completing Setup.
Enter a password for the Administrator account when prompted.
After you configure networking, you can join a workgroup or domain. You cannot set up a
user account until after you have completed setup and rebooted the system. See Windows NT
Help for details on setting up a user account and joining a workgroup or domain.
For more information on Setup, and on using the interface features of the operating system,
refer to the operating system documentation and Help.
