Overview
■ Automatic Driver Installation
Recommended drivers for automatically recognized expansion cards are installed with the server. This
prevents possible mistakes in driver installation, such as installation of an older version or drivers which
were not supplied with this server.
■ Automatic RAID Configuration
When an onboard SCSI array controller is used, specify the RAID type and the number of hard disk
units before starting installation. A disk array can be configured without starting the RAID utility.
■ Remote Installation
ServerStart can store resources necessary for installation, such as the OS and Service Pack, a different
server on the network and install the OS via the network. This method is used when the server does not
have a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive.
SystemcastWizard Professional (optional) is a useful tool for extracting a lot of files in a short time.

Detecting a Server Failure Early [ServerView]
ServerView is software that monitors whether the server hardware is in a normal state to protect
important server resources. When using ServerView, the server hardware is monitored all the time. If an
error that could cause trouble is detected, the administrator is notified in real-time. This allows the server
administrator to remove a system error early and avoid trouble.
●
Detecting a Disk Failure Early [RAID Management Tool]
RAID Management Tool is software that monitors the disk array. RAID Management Tool runs as a
Windows Server 2003/Windows 2000 Server system service. When an event occurs, it leaves an event
log in the event viewer's application logs. At the same time, a pop-up window indicates a hard disk
failure, rebuild status, etc.
