Introduction

These System Release Notes cover the following topics:

!General Comments

!Advisories

!Documentation Errata.

General Comments

The following general comments apply to this server.

!Versions of the Network Operating Systems tested and recommended are:

Windows®2000

Windows NT®4.0 Server with Service Pack 6

Novell® NetWare®5.1

SCO OpenServer™5.05 with Maintenance Supplement 505A.

UNIXWare®7.1.1

Advisories

This section contains advisories on the EXPRESSBUILDER, SCO, and system

hardware.

EXPRESSBUILDER

The following advisory applies to EXPRESSBUILDER.

!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.

!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.

!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.

4Express5800/140Hb System Release Notes

!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.

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 Plug and Play feature of your server's I/O

expansion boards.

The factory standard default value (Hot-Plug PCI Master Control) of the

Plug N Play feature in your server is enabled. The Windows 2000

operating system requires that the Hot-Plug PCI Master Control feature

be enabled. To disable it, if required by your operating system, the Hot-

Plug PCI Master Control feature in the Advanced Submenu of the BIOS

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

can be changed to "disabled."

The following advisory applies to your system's documentation.

Both the User's Guide and Service Guide refer to the two SCSI channels

as either channel A and channel B or as channel 0 and channel 1. The

terms channel A and channel B are used when referencing the SCSI

channels from the on-board SCSI controller. The terms channel 0 and

channel 1 are used when referencing the SCSI channels from a RAID

controller. Therefore, it should be noted that these terms are an exact

counterpart of each other and can be used interchangeability.
