Creating the Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition OEM-DISK for

EXPRESSBUILDER

The installation requires a floppy disk called the Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition

OEM-DISK for EXPRESSBUILDER.

TIPS

If you have already created the Windows Server 2003 x64

Edition OEM-DISK for EXPRESSBUILDER for the device,

you need not create it again.

Follow the steps below to create the disk:

(1) Prepare one empty 3.5-inch floppy disk of 1.44MB format.

(2) Start the operating system.

(3) Download the NEC difference module.

(See "Downloading the NEC Difference Module".)

(4) Set the floppy disk in the floppy disk drive.

(5) Copy all the files in the following folder to the floppy disk:

<destination-folder-name>\WINNT\OEMFD\W2K3AMD\FD1

On completion of copying, you have completed creating the Windows

Server 2003 x64 Edition OEM-DISK for EXPRESSBUILDER.

Write-protect the created Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition OEM-DISK for

EXPRESSBUILDER, attach a label to the floppy disk, and keep it in a safe place.

Re-Installation on a Dynamic Disk

When the hard disk drive that has been upgraded to a dynamic disk is used for

re-installation, if there is a partition other than the partition in which the OS is installed,

and you want to keep that partition, note the following:

•As the partition where the OS is to be installed, select the one where the OS was

installed before.

•Select "Use the current File System" for the OS partition format.





Magneto-optical drive

When NTFS is set for the file system with a magneto-optical drive connected at

installation, file system conversion may not be performed correctly.

If correct file system conversion is not performed, remove the magneto-optical drive, and

perform installation from the beginning.

DAT and Other Media

During setup, do not set any media such as a DAT that are not required for installation.

Updating BIOS

Before installing the Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions, BIOS for the Windows Server

2003 x64 Editions may have to be updated using the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM.

To determine whether BIOS update is required or not, visit the download site and check

for any supported module.

For the update procedure, see the introductory statements presented at the time of BIOS

downloading to each device and "Readme.txt" included in downloaded data.

Size of a Created Partition

The size of a partition to install the system can be calculated from the following

expression:

Required size for installation + paging file size + dump file size + application size

Required size for installation =

4100MB

Paging file size (recommended) = Installed memory capacity ×1.5

Dump file size = Installed memory capacity + 1MB

Application size = Any size

IMPORTANT

•The above paging file size is a recommended size for collecting

debug information (dump file). The boot volume requires a

paging file having an enough initial size for storing the dump file.

If the paging file becomes insufficient, collection of accurate

debug information may fail because of virtual memory shortage.

Therefore, set a sufficient paging file size for the entire system.

•If the installed memory capacity is 2GB or more, the maximum

dump file size is 2048MB plus 1MB.

•When other applications are to be installed, add the disk space

required for them separately.

When the installed memory capacity is 512MB, for example, the partition size is

calculated using the above expression as follows:

4100MB + (512MB ×1.5) + 512MB + 1MB + application size

= 5381MB +

application size

If the size of the partition to install the system is smaller than the total of the required size

for installation and the paging file size, enlarge the partition size, or prepare an additional

disk drive. If the dump file size cannot be reserved, you can allocate the dump file on two

ore more disks as follows:

(1) Set the size (the required size for installation plus the paging file size).

(2) See "Setup for Failure Handling" and make settings so that debug

information (portion for the dump file size) is written to the other disks.

If the disk does not have enough space for writing for the dump file size, install the system

with the partition size set to the required size for installation plus the paging file size, and add

a new disk.

Manual Installation

The [Install hardware/install software] pop-up window may appear twice during

installation, which does not affect the system operation, however. Click [Yes] each time

and continue the installation steps.

In the subsequent steps, follow the messages to continue installation.

Creating a RAID Drive

When SATA HostRAID is to be used, set HostRAID to Enabled with the BIOS setup

utility to create a RAID drive before installation. When SCSI HostRAID is to be used,

set HostRAID to Enabled with the SCSI Select Utility to create a RAID drive before

installation. For how to create a RAID drive, refer to the description of RAID

configuration in the User's Guide. When using an optional disk array controller, refer to

the manual supplied with the board.

NEC Express5800/120Rf-1,120Rh-2 Operation Manual for Microsoft®Windows Server™ 2003 x64 Editions

This chapter details the clear installation of the Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions.
