SCO OpenServer™5.05 with Maintenance Supplement 505A.

Advisories

This section contains advisories on the EXPRESSBUILDER, Windows 2000,

SCO and system hardware.

EXPRESSBUILDER

!If you already have an operating system installed when creating a

maintenance partition, EXPRESSBUILDER will warn you of the existing

partition. If you want to preserve the installed operating system, do not

create the maintenance partition or the existing operating system will be

overlaid by the maintenance partition.

!EXPRESSBUILDER EasySetup always configures the Windows 2000

TCP/IP Protocol IP settings to "Obtain an IP address automatically"

(DHCP), regardless of the IP address setting specified in EasySetup. If static

TCP/IP addressing is required, TCP/IP must be reconfigured. Refer to

Windows documentation for instructions.

!The Administrator Menu in the System Information Management segment

of the Offline Maintenance Utility is accessible only by NEC authorized

service representatives.

!EXPRESSBUILDER operates in floppy emulation mode. The emulated

floppy drive portion of your system CD-ROM is designated Drive A and the

remaining portion(s) of the CD-ROM is designated Drive Q. Your system

diskette drive is Drive B. After creating the Off-line Maintenance Utility

diskette, EXPRESSBUILDER prompts you to remove the diskette from

Drive B. At this prompt, remove the diskette from your diskette drive.

Windows 2000

!After installing Windows 2000, the Windows 2000 Device Manager may

show an NEC GEM SCSI Processor Device and/or an Unknown Device

under Other Devices. The Unknown Device is a reference to the baseboard

management controller. Installing the ESMPRO Agent can clear both of

these conditions.

SCO

The following advisory applies when using SCO 5.05.

!During the installation of SCO or any time thereafter when booting SCO a

warning message may appear as follows:

WARNING: Cannot connect to APM, error 0x0036 System loaded, press

<Return> to start:

To prevent the WARNING message from appearing, boot the system to

single-user Mode. Edit the /etc/default/boot file. Add "apm.check=no" to the

end of the line indicated by the "DEFBOOTSTR=" entry.

System Hardware

The following advisory applies to the USB ports on your server's external device

connectors.

!The factory standard default value of the USB ports on your server is

"Disabled". To enable them, the USB Controller feature in the Peripheral

Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup Utility described in Chapter 3

"BIOS Setup Configuration Settings" must be changed to "Enabled".

The following advisory applies to the Plug and Play feature of your server's I/O

expansion boards.

!The factory standard default value (PnP O/S) of the Plug N Play feature in

your server is selected. The Windows 2000 operating system requires that

the PnP O/S feature be selected. To deselect it, if required by your operating

system, the Installed O/S feature in the Advanced Submenu of the BIOS

Setup Utility described in Chapter 3 "BIOS Setup Configuration Settings"

can be changed to "Other."

The following advisory applies to the SCSI interface cabling within your

system.

!The external SCSI connector located on the rear panel of your server unit is

not connected internally unless an optional RAID controller is installed.
