while the NEC logo is displayed or with the following message telling you that the
server-specific information is not written.

The message above may appear in a different screen during POST with the NEC logo shown
and paused. In that case, press the Esc key to display the diagnosis screen to check whether
or not the above message is shown. If a different error message is shown, refer to Chapter 7
"Troubleshooting."
2. How to make initial settings
Either wait for a while after the above message is shown or press the F1 key to precede
POST. Start up the "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER"CD-ROM and select "initialize Remote
Management Card" from the Tool menu. By doing so, information specific to each server
