Getting Started

Your InterServe 205 PrePress server shipped with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 partially installed on the system. You will need to set up the system hardware, and then set up the operating system and associated system software, to put your system to use.

u To set up the system hardware, refer to the instructions in the TD-2x, TD-22x System Guide

delivered with the system.

u To set up the operating system and associated system software, refer to the instructions in this

document.

NOTE The system hardware delivered with your InterServe 205 PrePress server is the same as the TD-225

system hardware described in the TD-2x, TD-22x System Guide.

After you finish setting up the system hardware and software, refer to the System Guide for more information on the system. If you need to reinstall the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system and associated system software at a later time, refer to the instructions in this document.

Setting Up the System Software

To set up the operating system and associated system software, you must:

u Prepare for Windows NT Setup by gathering pertinent materials and information. u Start the system. u Go through Windows NT Setup to finish installing the operating system. u Use the Intergraph Welcome dialog to create backup diskettes, view the online System

Introduction, and perform other tasks.

Preparing for Windows NT Setup

The Windows NT Server operating system is partially installed on the system disk. After setting up the system hardware, you must start the system and complete Windows NT Setup to configure the system for use. Parts of the installation procedure require information that you must supply.

WARNING Do not turn on the system power until you are ready to configure Windows NT Server. If you

start the system, and then restart it before completely configuring Windows NT Server, you will have to reinstall Windows NT Server as described later in “Installing System Software.”

Before you begin, have the following available:

u Microsoft’s Start Here document. u Documentation for any expansion cards purchased from Intergraph. u Several blank, formatted diskettes to create backup diskettes containing system software. u Intergraph backup diskettes delivered with your system.

Get and record the following information:

u Your name, and the name of your

company or organization:

u The CD Key from the Windows NT

Server CD case, or the Product ID Number from Start Here or the registration card:

u A username for setting up a user account.

If the system is connected to a network, get and record the following information from your network administrator:

u Computer name for your system: u Workgroup name (if the system will be

part of a workgroup):

u Domain name (if the system will be part

of a Windows NT domain):

u Security role for your system in the

Windows NT domain -- primary domain controller, backup domain controller, or stand-alone server:

u If your system will be acting as a backup

domain controller or stand-alone server, username and password of an authorized domain administrator account:

NOTE Determine the security role for your server before beginning system configuration. You cannot change

a stand-alone server to a domain controller without reinstalling Windows NT Server. A domain controller maintains security policy and performs user authentication for a domain. Stand-alone servers may be part of a domain, although they do not have to participate in a domain.

Refer to the operating system documentation for a detailed explanation of the differences between domain controllers and stand-alone servers.

If the system is connected to a network that uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), obtain and record the following TCP/IP networking information from your network administrator:

u Internet Protocol (IP) address for your

system:

u IP subnet mask for your system: u IP domain name for your network: u IP address for your network’s default

gateway:

u IP addresses for your network’s

Domain Name System (DNS) servers, if any:

The Windows NT delivery media contains software and drivers for both Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC)- and Intel-based systems. When installing Windows NT distribution files, make sure to install them from the \I386 directory (the Intel software directory) on the delivery media. For example, if you are installing a device driver from the Windows NT CD-ROM, key in the following when asked for the path to the file, where drive is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive:

drive:\i386

Going Through Windows NT Setup

The first time you start the system, it boots to the Microsoft End-User License Agreement (EULA) screen. After you read and accept the EULA, Windows NT Setup continues. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Setup process. Take the default settings provided by Setup, except as noted below:

u Allow Setup to configure the network only if you have an installed network adapter, and the

system is connected to the network.

u When prompted to create an Emergency Repair Disk, do so. u If you do not set up a user account during Setup, press ENTER or select OK at the logon dialog to

log on to the operating system. You can set up a user account and join a workgroup or domain after you configure the video display and networking.

For more information on Setup, and on using the interface features of the operating system, refer to the operating system documentation and Help.

Using the Welcome Dialog

After Setup is complete and the system is restarted, you should log on to the system and display the Intergraph Welcome dialog. The Welcome dialog is available from the operating system Start menu or from an icon on the operating system desktop. Several actions are available from the Welcome dialog. Each action is presented as a tab, as shown in the following figure.

Creating Backup Diskettes

You can create backup diskettes for drivers and other system software products. Select the Version Manager tab, then click the Version Manager button to create system software backup diskettes with the InterSite Version Manager.

Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing drivers and other system software products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are not available on the operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later -- for example, if you have to reinstall a device driver or the operating system.

WARNING You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system hardware and

complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this, you may not be able to reinstall critical system software or the operating system if needed.

NOTE You may not have to create backup diskettes for system software. If Version Manager does not list

drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating system software CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion boards.

If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the system software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes for operating system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is needed. If QFE update software is shipped with the system, you should create a QFE NTS backup diskette for use if you have to reinstall the operating system.

Version Manager also lets you query Intergraph to determine the installation status of drivers and software applications installed on your system and to download updated versions, if available. Refer to Version Manager Help for information on installing Intergraph drivers or applications.

Creating an Emergency Repair Disk

If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk during Setup, click the Repair Disk button on the Repair Disk tab of the Welcome dialog to create the appropriate diskette. The files on these diskettes can restore the original contents of a damaged Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with the standard operating system drivers. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup diskette after you finish configuring the system.

Refer to the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup diskette.

Viewing the System Introduction

Click the button on the System Introduction tab of the Welcome dialog to display the System Introduction. This document is an online introduction to your new system in Windows Help 4.0

format, covering such subjects as system features, system controls and connections, and Intergraph customer support. Review the information in the System Introduction to become more familiar with your system.

NOTE You can also view the System Introduction by opening the SYSINTRO.HLP file in the C:\WIN32APP\SYSINTRO

directory on your system. You may want to link the SYSINTRO.HLP file to an icon, a shortcut, or a system menu to make it easier to display.

Finding Customer Support

The Support tab of the Welcome dialog contains information useful in contacting Customer Support. This information is also in the Preface of the System Guide delivered with the system.
