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. Follow the creation steps below.

TIPS

When the Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition OEM-DISK for

EXPRESSBUILDER has already been created for the

device, it is unnecessary to create a new one.

Follow the steps below to create the disk:

(1) Prepare one empty 3.5-inch floppy disk formatted to the 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 files in the following folder to the floppy disk:

<storage-destination-folder-name>¥WINNT¥OEMFD¥W2K3AMD¥FD1

Completion of the copy operation completes the creation of 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.

Procedure for Obtaining a License

When the backup CD-ROM is used, its content is installed in the licensed state. When

other OS CD-ROMs are used, a procedure for obtaining the license of the Windows

Server 2003 x64 Editions is required. The product key used in the procedure and the

product key indicated on the COA label provided with the Windows Server 2003 x64

Editions must match.

IMPORTANT

•Perform activation within 30 days after the installation.

After 30 days elapse, the system may be locked.

•The COA label may be adhered to the device.

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 partition where the OS

was installed before.

•For the OS partition format, select "Use the current File System".





Magneto-optical drive

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

time of installation, file system conversion may not be performed correctly.

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

perform the 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 the Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions can be installed, BIOS for the Windows

Server 2003 x64 Editions may have to be updated by 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 where the system is installed 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 size ×1.5

Dump file size = Installed memory size + 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 size 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 these applications to the partition size.

When the installed memory size 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 partition where the system is installed is smaller than the size (the required size for

installation plus the paging file size), enlarge the partition size, or install an additional

disk. If the dump file size cannot be allotted, more than one disk can be assigned 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 (for the dump file size) is written to another disk.

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 the installation.

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.
