operating system (OS), ready for setup on your system. Windows 2000 Server
or Advanced Server includes the drivers to support devices in your system, the

Before starting the setup procedure, you need to obtain certain information for
use during setup. The information you need in advance is shown in the
following table. NECC recommends that you obtain the information from your
server administrator and record it in the table before starting.
After completing setup, you might want to use the Windows 2000 Control Panel
to configure additional devices or Windows 2000 services and facilities.
