5-2 Installing the Operating System with Express Setup

ABOUT EXPRESS SETUP

"Express Setup" helps you to install the Windows Operating System. The setup automatically
configures the RAID system and installs the Operating System and some management software.
IMPROTANT: Executing the Express Setup erases all data on the
hard disk drive.
You can also use "Configuration diskette Creator" at "Express Setup" in order to save or backup
parameters for installation. The Configuration disk is able to have some parameters files that include
the configuration information for the server setup. If you want to set up the server as before, execute
the Express Setup with the parameters file you have saved that time.
NOTES:
The parameters file is not mandatory to set up the system.
If you want to create a parameters file, have a blank floppy disk
(MS-DOS 1.44MB format) ready.
If you want to use the drivers located on the "OEM-Disk for Mass
Storage Device" that ships with optional boards, a parameters file
is mandatory.
You can create a parameters file in advance using "Configuration
Diskette Creator" included in NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
"Configuration Diskette Creator" has a function of "Mass
installation". You can replicate configuration files and modify a
replicated file by using this function, depending on individual
server system (see Chapter 6).
