■ Checking before OS Installation

• When a RAID-configured disk is used

When using a configured disk, delete a physical pack in advance. For how to delete a physical pack,

refer to "PRIMERGY RX300 S2 Onboard SCSI RAID User's Guide".

• Number of disk units

If the number of actually installed units is smaller than the setting for the number of units (+1 when a

hot spare is specified), installation using ServerStart is aborted because of an error.

When the number of installed disk units is greater than the setting, the disk units are set up according

to the setting. Extra units will be configured as standby disk units. You can add a physical pack later.

For more details, refer to "PRIMERGY RX300 S2 Onboard SCSI RAID User's Guide".

2.3.3 Notes on a Multiple LAN Adapter Configuration

Using the OS installation wizard of ServerStart, you can configure multiple LAN adapters (network

adapters) on the system. However, there are the following limitations.

Adapter Numbers

To configure multiple LAN cards, select the adapter numbers in order of Adapter 1 and Adapter 2, and

enter settings for each adapter. Note that the order of adapter numbers is not necessarily the same as the

order of slots for the installed LAN adapters. This means that the setting for Adapter 1 is not always

applied to the onboard LAN. After installing the OS, check the LAN adapters to make sure that they are

configured as intended.

2.3.4 Cautions for Using ServerStart

■ Operating ServerStart

Most ServerStart operations are performed with the mouse. Items may not be moved with the [Tab] key

or cursor keys. Be sure to use the mouse when operating ServerStart.

■ Ejecting the CD-ROM

Do not eject the ServerStart CD-ROM while ServerStart is running. If the ServerStart CD-ROM is

ejected and inserted again, ServerStart starts up in multiple windows, and settings you have made can be

lost.

■ Exiting ServerStart

After operation in guided mode or expert mode, exiting ServerStart restarts the system. Ejecting disks

from the floppy disk and CD-ROM drives and click [OK]. When the display on the screen disappears,

turn off the system.
