Preparation

You need a support disk, "Windows Server 2003 OEM-DISK for NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" to start up
the Recovery Console. Have "Windows Server 2003 OEM-DISK for NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" ready
before starting the Recovery Console.
If you do not have a computer that runs Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP/Vista.
Follow the steps below to create a "Windows Server 2003 OEM-DISK for NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER":
1.
Prepare a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
2. Power on the peripherals and then NEC Express5800/ft series.
3.
Disable the configuration for OS Boot Monitoring function.
In the BIOS setup, select [Server] - [Monitoring Configuration] - [OS Boot Monitoring] and
choose "Disabled." See "Step 3: Disable OS Boot Monitoring Function" (page 4-9) for
details.
4.
Insert the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD into the drive of the server.
5. Then, reset (pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete) or power off/on NEC Express5800/ft series to
reboot it.
The system will start up from the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD.
6. Select [OS installation *** default ***] when [Boot Selection] menu is displayed. (Even if
you enter nothing, it automatically proceeds to the next screen.)
7.
Select [Create the OEM-DISK for Windows] from [Top Menu] Step.
8.
Select [Create a "Windows Server 2003 OEM-DISK for EXPRESSBUILDER"] or [Create a
"Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition OEM-Disk for EXPRESSBUILDER"] and click
[Perform] depending on the OS of your choice.
9.
Set the floppy disk according to the direction displayed on the screen. An OS-specific
[OEM-DISK] will be created. Write protect the floppy disk created, put on a label and store
in a safe place.
IMPORTANT:
Enable the configuration for OS Boot Monitoring function to deploy the system without performing
the system repair which uses the Recovery Console. In the BIOS setup, select [Server] - [Monitoring
Configuration] - [OS Boot Monitoring] and set appropriate time. See "Step 13: Enable OS Boot
Monitoring Function" (page 4-40) for details.
