1. Before Starting Setup
This section describes the points of using EXPRESSBUILDER (contained in this product) to set up Windows operating systems.
Important |
If you have purchased your server by BTO and ordered to install Windows, |
|
a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) label that describes your product key is |
|
stuck on your server. |
The product key is required when setting up or re-installing the OS. Do not intentionally peel off or damage the label. The product key cannot be reissued in any occasion. It is recommended to take a note of product key and store it carefully with other accessories.
1.1Starting EXPRESSBUILDER
Use the attached EXPRESSBUILDER to reconfigure the RAID System or re-install the OS.
Start EXPRESSBUILDER by either of the following two ways according to the media in which the EXPRESSBUILDER is stored. Refer to Chapter 2 (5. Details of EXPRESSBUILDER) in Maintenance Guide for more information.
With the pre-installation model, you do not need to start the EXPRESSBUILDER.
EXPRESSBUILDER DVD
Insert the DVD to the optical disk drive of the server, and then reboot by turning off and on the server or by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> keys.
Internal Flash Memory (optional)
Press <F3> key when the following message appears on POST screen. At this time, be sure to remove a bootable disc from the optical disk drive.
Press <F2> Setup, <F3> Internal Flash Memory, <F4> ROM Utility, <F12> Network

• Reinstalling to a mirrored volume |
|||
|
|
|
Disable the mirroring and reset to the basic disk. After installation, enable the mirroring |

||||
|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
before installation. Refer to the manual provided with the peripheral devices for how to set |
|||
|
|
|
|
a device appropriate to installation. |
|||
― |
|
|
|
• DAT, LTO, and similar media |
|||
|
|
|
Do not set media that is unnecessary to installation during setup. |
||||
|
|
|
|
||||
― |
|
|
|
• Reinstalling to hard disk drives that have been upgraded to dynamic disks |
|||
|
|
|
If the hard disk drive has been upgraded to a dynamic disk, the operating system cannot |
||||
|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
be reinstalled to it with the existing partitions. |
|||
|
|
|
|
Set up the operating system with the OS standard installer. |
|||
― |
|
|
|
• Connecting to multiple hard disk drives (logical drives) |
|||
|
|
|
For details on installing operating systems to a system in which multiple logical drives |
||||
|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
exist, refer to Chapter 1 (3.8 Applying Service Pack). |
|||
― |
|
|
|
• Setup when mass memory is installed |
|||
|
|
|
If mass memory is installed in your system, the large size of paging file is required at |
||||
|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
installation. Thus, the partition size for storing debug information (dump file) may not be |
|||
|
|
|
|
secured. |
|||
|
|
|
|
If you fail to secure the dump file size, use OS standard installer for setup, and allocate the |
|||
|
|
|
|
required file space to multiple disks by performing the following steps. |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file. |
||
|
|
|
|
|
2. Specify another disk as destination to store the debug information (required dump file |
||
|
|
|
|
|
size) by referring to Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems). |
||
|
|
|
|
If the hard disk drive does not have enough space to write the debug information, set the |
|||
|
|
|
|
partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another |
|||
|
|
|
|
hard disk drive for the dump file. |
|||
|
|
|
|
Note |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the partition size for installing Windows is smaller than the recommended |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
size, expand the partition size or add another hard disk drive. |

System |
The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula. |
||
|
partition size |
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size |
|||
|
|
||||
|
|
|
Full installations |
|
|
|
|
|
Size required to install the OS |
= 15,600 MB |
|
|
|
|
|
( Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1) |
|
|
|
|
|
= 8,400 MB |
|
|
|
|
|
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1) |
|
|
|
|
|
= 8,000 MB |
|
|
|

( Windows Server 2008 R2) |
|
|
|
|
Paging file size (recommended) |
= installed memory size × 1.5 |
|
|

( Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1) |
|

|
|
= 3,700 MB |
|
|
|
|
|
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1) |
|
|
|
|
|
= 3,500 MB |
|
|
|
|
|
( Windows Server 2008 R2) |
|
|
|
|
Paging file size (recommended) |
= installed memory size × 1.5 |
|
|
|
|
Dump file size |
= installed memory size + 300 MB |
|
|
|
|
Application size |
= as required by the application |
|
|
|
|
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation is |
||
|
|
|
selected, the partition size is calculated as follows: |
||
|
|
|
8,000 MB + (1,024 MB × 1.5) + 1,024 MB + 300 MB + application size |
||
|
|
|
= 10,860 MB + application size |
|
|
|
|
|
The above mentioned partition size is the minimum partition size required for system |
||
|
|
|
installation. |
|
|
Ensure that the partition size is sufficient for system operations.
The following partition sizes are recommended.
|
Full installations |
: 32,768 MB (32 GB) or more |
|
Server Core installations |
: 10,240MB (10 GB) or more |
|
*1 GB = 1,024 MB |
|
Note |
• The above paging |
file sizes are recommended for collecting debug |
information (dump file). The initial size of the Windows partition paging file must be large enough to store dump files.
Make sure you set a sufficient paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage that may result in an inability to collect correct debug information.
•Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal memory + 300 MB".
•When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of space needed by the application to the partition.

Tips |
When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot partition |
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 100 MB. |
||
|
|
|
|
For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable space |
||
|
|
|
|
will be 40,960 MB – 100 MB = 40,860 MB. |

3.2Setup with EXPRESSBUILDER
This section describes how to install Windows with EXPRESSBUILDER.
This feature automatically recognizes the RAID controller connected to the server and configures the RAID system. Therefore the hardware installation of the server needs to be finished by following " User’s Guide ".
Important • Setup with EXPRESSBUILDER may delete all data of the hard disk drive depending on the settings. Pay attention to input parameters. You must be especially careful when configuring the following:
−RAID settings wizard
−Partition Settings in the Windows Setup wizard Backing up user data, as needed, is recommended.
•Before starting setup, be sure to disconnect hard disk drives from the RAID Controller that is not to be setup. Install those hard disk drives after setup has completed. Conducting setup with hard disk drives being connected with RAID Controller may cause existing data to be erased unintentionally. It is recommended to make backup copy of user data before starting setup.
Note |
• The Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) function is disabled on systems that have |
|
been installed by using EXPRESSBUILDER. |
|
The setting of SNP function may affect the system performance. |
