● Configuration File (SerStartBatch.ini)
A configuration file stores the server setup and client information configured in ServerStart. To create a
configuration file, use the ServerStart floppy disk supplied with this server. Store only one file on each
floppy disk. Do not set the ServerStart floppy disk to the write-protected state.
You can use any name for the configuration file. However, the file must be installed in the server as
"SerStartBatch.ini". When installing the file, make sure to save it as "SerStartBatch.ini" on the
ServerStart floppy disk.
Start up ServerStart, insert the ServerStart floppy disk containing "SerStartBatch.ini", and click [Start] to
install the server.
■ Intuitive User Interface
The intuitive user interface allows you to easily set the necessary information.

PRIMERGY RX100 S2 User’s Guide
■ 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 a RAID card 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, in 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.
1.2.2 High Reliability Tools
1
Overview
High reliability tools are a comprehensively useful set of software for stable system operations of the
server. The following tools have respective roles to manage normal operations or recovery from errors:
• Server Monitoring Tools
• System Diagnosis Support Tools
• LAN driver Advanced Setting Tools
■ Server Monitoring Tools
The server monitoring tools monitor the hardware status on behalf of the administrator and notify him/
her in the event of an error.
● Detecting a Server Failure Early [ServerView]
ServerView is software to monitor that 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.
19
Chapter 1 Overview
■ System Diagnosis Support Tools
The system diagnosis support tool is for supporting system diagnosis during normal operation or in the
event of trouble.
● Solving Problems Early [DSNAP]
DSNAP is a command line utility that collects all the failure investigation information. System file
configuration information, major registry settings, and event logs can be collected easily from the
command line.
DSNAP is used to allow maintenance personnel to understand your system software configuration and
settings correctly and ensure smooth investigations when a problem occurs in your Windows Server
2003/Windows 2000 Server system. Pass the information along with memory dumps to your
maintenance personnel.
■ LAN Driver Advanced Setup Tools
LAN Driver Advanced Setup Tool sets details on the LAN, including the use of the Teaming function
and VLAN configuration.
● Intel
®
PROSet
Intel® PROSet is a tool for setting details on the LAN card when it is used with another LAN card or the
onboard LAN for using the Teaming function or when it is used for configuring a VLAN.

1.4.2 Turning On the Server
• Do not move, strike, or shake the server when it is turned on. This can damage
the hard disk in the server and cause data loss.
• Turn the server on when the temperature is in its operating environment range
(10–35°C). For details on the operating environment, refer to "Start Guide" and
"Safety Precautions".
When operating the device outside of this operating environment, the server
may operate improperly, damage data etc.
Furthermore, Fujitsu cannot be held responsible for any related damage,
malfunction, or loss of data, etc.
• The fans rotate at high speed immediately after the server is turned on, but this
is not defective. When the temperature is in the server's operating environment
range (10–35°C), they start to rotate at normal speed later.
• Be sure to wait for 10 seconds or longer after shutdown before turning the
server on.
1 Open the rack door.
2 Make sure that the floppy disk drive and CD-ROM drives are empty.
