5-2 Installing the Operating System with Express Setup
About Express Setup
"Express Setup" contained in your EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM is intended for initial setup of the server. Its
automatic installation mode guides the user easily through the process by detailing specific hardware features and
providing screen prompts for software selection and configuration. The program loads the utilities and drivers, applies
RAID settings, partitions the disk, and installs the desired operating system.
IMPORTANT: Express Setup is intended for the initial setup of the server system.
Therefore, it clears the contents of the hard disk drive.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000, Express Setup automatically configures your server and
installs the operating system. After a few tasks are completed, all that remains to be done is to remove the
EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM and insert the Windows CD-ROM, input a product ID number, and acknowledge the
license agreement.
For the other operating systems, Express Setup initializes the target disk(s), creates the maintenance partition, and
installs the various maintenance utilities from the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to lead your server to ready-to-install
for the desired operating system.
