Installing and Using Utilities 6-5
Express Setup
"Express Setup" is intended for the 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.
If you install Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000, after a few tasks are completed, all that remains to be done is to
remove the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM and install the Windows CD-ROM, input a product ID number, and
acknowledge the license agreement.
IMPORTANT:
The Express Setup is intended for the initial setup of the server system and, therefore,
the Express Setup clears the contents of the hard disk drive.
Once Express setup is started, do not remove the "Configuration Diskette" from the
floppy disk drive until prompted to do so.
Tools
"Tools" is also intended for initial setup of the server. It provides more installation options than Express Setup and
permits the user to quickly create utility support disks, run the Off-line Maintenance Utility and system diagnostic
utility, set up a maintenance partition, and update the various BIOS programs.

Save/Restore RAID Configuration Data
The item allows the configuration information on the disk array system to be saved or restored from the
floppy disk.
– Save Disk Array Configuration Data
The configuration information on the disk mirroring controller is saved into the floppy disk. If you set or
change RAID, always use this function to save the configuration information into the floppy disk.
IMPORTANT: Some Disk Array Controllers do not support this function. In that case,
this menu will not be shown.
