2 Hardware Installation and Configuration

24

At this point, you have two options depending on the way your system is set up. You
can either boot from the CD-ROM drive, or you can boot from a bootable DOS
partition on your hard disk.

Option 1, HP NetServer systems (LC, LH, LS, or LX) that have a CD-ROM
drive.
Disregard any on-screen instructions to remove the HP NetServer
Navigator CD-ROM,
and boot from the CD-ROM drive. The HP NetServer
reboots, automatically detects the newly installed CFG file, and uses it to configure
the system.

Option 2, HP NetServer (LE, LF, LM) or other system with no CD-ROM
drive.
If you are running SCO UNIX, or do not have CD-ROM capability, boot
the server into DOS from a bootable DOS partition on the server's hard disk. Then
insert the server diskette and at the DOS prompt, type:

A:\DOS\INSTALL.EXE

The installer copies HP Remote Assistant files to your hard disk's DOS partition.
You are finished with this part of Remote Assistant configuration.

Installing or Updating a Utility Partition

What follows is the second stage of the configuration process in which you install or
update the HP NetServer Navigator Utility Partition. The Configuration Assistant
remembers where you left off and returns you to the Custom Configuration screen.

NOTE

Utility Partition installation or updating is disabled in the SCO UNIX
environment. See Option 2 above.

To install or update a DOS Utility Partition on your HP NetServer:

Click the Install/Update Utility Partition button, and click Execute.

The Configuration Assistant drops the system into DOS to copy system files and,
based on the requirements of your system, performs the necessary operation (either
installation or updating—installation causes your system to reboot). If successful, the
Configuration Assistant returns you to the Custom Configuration menu. After setting
up a remote connection (in the next section) you are returned to this menu to complete
software installation. If the Utility Partition installation is unsuccessful, you probably
don’t have 8 MB of un-partitioned hard disk space available. If you have a bootable
DOS partition, go back to Option 2 above, otherwise some features may not be
available.
