Advisories
This section contains advisories on the EXPRESSBUILDER and system documentation.

EXPRESSBUILDER

EXPRESSBUILDER EasySetup always configures the Windows 2000
!
TCP/IP Protocol IP settings to "Obtain an IP address automatically" (DHCP), regardless of the IP address setting specified in EasySetup. If static TCP/IP addressing is required, TCP/IP must be reconfigured. Refer to your Windows 2000 documentation for instructions.
The Administrator Menu in the System Information Management segment
!
of the Offline Maintenance Utility is accessible only by NEC authorized service representatives.
EXPRESSBUILDER operates in floppy emulation mode. The emulated
!
floppy drive portion of your system CD-ROM is designated Drive A and the remaining portion(s) of the CD-ROM is designated Drive Q. Your system diskette drive is Drive B. After creating the Off-line Maintenance Utility diskette, EXPRESSBUILDER prompts you to remove the diskette from Drive B. At this prompt, remove the diskette from your diskette drive.

After installing Windows 2000, the Windows 2000 Device Manager may
!
show an NEC GEM SCSI Processor Device and/or an Unknown Device under Other Devices. The Unknown Device is a reference to the baseboard management controller. Installing the ESMPRO Agent can clear both of these conditions.
If you already have an operating system installed when creating a
!
maintenance partition, ExpressBuilder will warn you of the existing partition. If you want to preserve the installed operatin g system, do not create the maintenance partition or the existing operating system will be overlaid by the maintenance partition.

System Documentation

The following advisory applies to your Server’s Network Operating System Configuration Guide.
In the Network Operating System Configuration Guide, Step 8 of "Installing
!
Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System" should read as follows: Execute "w2k\update.exe" from the "NEC Update Module" diskette.
