IMPORTANT:
Because “Express Setup” formats the entire area of the disk used for reinstallation,
all data on that disk will be deleted. If there is any data partition other than system
partition that contains OS on the disk for reinstallation, you must back up important
data in the data partition first and then start “Express Setup.”
Do not apply service packs to NEC Express5800/ft series based on your judgment. If
you desire to apply service packs, contact your sales agent about application status
and apply service packs to NEC Express5800/ft series.
TIPS:
For the latest information on support for Windows Service Pack, contact your sales agent.
You need the following to install Windows Server 2003 R2 32-bit Enterprise Edition:
NEC EXPRESSBUILDER (CD-ROM)
GeminiEngine Control Software UPDATE CD-ROM
This CD-ROM is used to update GeminiEngine Control Software; it may not be shipped with
the equipment. (Not included if “NEC EXPRESSBUILDER” CD-ROM contains the latest
version of software programs at the time of shipment.)

(hereinafter referred to as “Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM”)
Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 R2 32-bit Enterprise Edition Disk2
User’s Guide (Setup) (this manual)
User’s Guide
IMPORTANT:
About the latest release of GeminiEngine Control Software and purchase of the
latest version of its Update CD-ROM, ask your sales agent.
Before starting the setup, decide the size of the partition where the operating system will be
installed.
Windows Setup 4-5
Size of the Partition to be Created
The required minimum size of a partition to install the system can be obtained from the following
formula:
Size required for installation + paging file size + dump file size
Size required for installation = 3,500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
Paging file size (recommended) = size of memory mounted* u 1.5
Dump file size = size of memory mounted* + 12MB
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information (memory
dump). If a value smaller than the “Recommended” value is set for the initial size of
the paging file, correct debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
The maximum paging file size is 4095MB in a partition. If 1.5 times the size of
mounted memory is larger than 4095MB, set the size at 4095MB.
If the size of mounted memory is larger than 2GB, the maximum size of dump file is
“2048MB+12MB.”
TIPS: The mounted memory size means the total of memory installed on a single CPU/IO
module.
For example, if memory of 1GB is mounted, the required minimum partition size obtained from the
above formula is as follows:
3500MB + (1024MB u 1.5) + (1024MB +12MB) = 6072MB
TIPS: The minimum partition size you can specify in the Express Setup is 6072MB. The
partition size must be 6072MB or larger for automatic installation. Therefore the size
smaller than 6072MB cannot be specified.

4-14 Windows Setup
Step 4: Start the Express Setup
Set up with the Express Setup functions of NEC EXPRESS BUILDER.
“Express Setup” is a setup method for NEC
Express5800 series to smoothly configure
settings as internal parameters and status of
hardware and to install OS (Windows Server
2003) and various utilities by using the “NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER” CD-ROM which comes
with the server. Use this “Express Setup” when
using hard disk drives with their partition
setting different from those at shippment, or
when reinstalling the OS. It performs
complicated setups automatically.
Express Setup edits the information required
for the setup and saves it to a floppy disk
before the setup, to proceed a series of setup
processes. The floppy disk used here is called
[Configuration diskette].
TIPS:
[Configuration diskette] is a setup disk that stores the information set/selected during
Express Setup.
Express Setup executes all the setup process automatically, based on this information.
It is not necessary to sit by the system and check the status, during the setup. Also, if
you use the Configuration diskette that has been used last time, you can create the
same setup condition as the previous one.
Users are responsible for preparing the Configuration diskette.
You can create a parameter file in advance, by using “Configuration Diskette
Creator®” in NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
If you create [Configuration diskette] in advance, you can skip the options that need
to be entered or selected during Express Setup. (You can create or modify the setup
information in the Configuration diskette, during Express Setup). If any computer
that is running on Windows XP/2000/Windows Server 2003 is available, it is
recommended to edit the setup information with Configuration Diskette Creator in
advance.
You cannot use the mouse in the Express Setup. Use the keyboard to proceed the
setup.
For the procedure to create a parameter file with Configuration Diskette Creator, refer to User’s
Guide.
z Reinstalling the OS to the hard disk drive that has been upgraded to dynamic disk
You cannot reinstall Windows Server 2003 if the existing partition of the hard disk drive that
has been upgraded to dynamic disk is still there.

Windows Setup 4-33
Step 9: Create Volume
For NEC Express5800/ft series, you need to create mirrors for all volumes. In case of creating a new
volume except for the one that stores the system partition, see “Hard Disk Configurations that can
be built on the NEC Express5800/ft series”on the separate User’s Guide.
For how to create or mirror volume, see the Online Help of Windows and “Step 6: Set Dual Disk
Configuration” (page 4-29).
IMPROTANT:
The creation of volume is available after the system opeation is started.
For creating volume, refer to “Hard Disk Configurations that can be built on the NEC
Express5800/ft series” in the separate User’s Guide.
Step 10: Set Network for NEC ESMPRO Agent
NEC ESMPRO Agent is required for continuous operation of the NEC Express5800/ft series. It is
automatically installed when installing OS using Express Setup.
To operate NEC ESMPRO Agent, you need to set the SNMP.
To change the settings of the SNMP Service:
1. Double-click [Administrative Tools] in [Control Panel].
2. Open [Services] in [Administrative Tools].
3. Select [SNMP Service] from the service list and then [Properties] in the [Action] menu.
The “SNMP Properties” dialog box appears.
4. Enter “public” in the [Community name] box in the [Traps] property sheet and click the
[Add to list] button.
IMPORTANT:
To change the community name of traps to be received from the default “*” in the
NEC ESMPRO Manager site, enter the same name as the community name newly
set in the NEC ESMPRO Manager site.
To receive trap from NEC ESMPRO Agent at the NEC ESMPRO Manager
machine, both community names should be the same.
5. Click the [Add...] button in [Trap destinations]. After entering the IP address of the NEC
ESMPRO Manager machine of the send destination in the [Host name, IP or IPX address]
box, click the [Add] button.
IMPORTANT: If the IP address (or host name) of the remote NEC ESMPRO
Manager specified as the trap send destination in the setup of the manager report
(TCP/IP), the message warning the duplication appears. The specification of the same
NEC ESMPRO Manager causes to be reported doubly.
4-34 Windows Setup
6. Open the [Security] property sheet and make settings as follows:
x Add the community name entered in 4 to [Accepted community names].
x Set its authority to [READ CREATE] or [READ WRITE].
x Select [Accept SNMP packets from any host].
IMPORTANT:
If you entered any community name other than “public” in 4, add that name to
“Accepted community names.”
Unless you set the acceptable community’s authority to “READ CREATE” or
“READ WRITE,” you cannot perform monitoring from NEC ESMPRO Manager.
< Setup of receiving SNMP packets from specific hosts only >
Select [Accept SNMP packets from these hosts], specify IP addresses of the hosts, IP
addresses of the servers to install Agent, and the loop-back address (127.0.0.1).
< Setup of receiving SNMP packets from specific communities only >
Change the name of the community receiving SNMP packets from the default “public”
to any name.
IMPORTANT:
If the community name is changed, the community of NEC ESMPRO Agent is
changed and registered by starting from [Control Panel]. To change the community
to another and register it, use the [SNMP Community] list box in the [General] tab.
To allow NEC ESMPRO Agent to receive SNMP packets sent from NEC
ESMPRO Manager, set the send community name in NEC ESMPRO Manager to
be the same as that accepted by the SNMP Service in NEC ESMPRO Agent.
7. Terminate the network setup.
IMPORTANT:
If the SNMP service was added to the system after the service pack had been
applied at OS installation, apply it again. If not, the SNMP service may not operate
properly. This can cause the improper operation of NEC ESMPRO Agent.
The SNMP Service is required for operating NEC ESMPRO Agent. If the SNMP
Service is deleted after the installation of NEC ESMPRO Agent, install the SNMP
Service and then reinstall NEC ESMPRO Agent.
Some software products provided by other vendors use the SNMP Service. If the
SNMP Service and NEC ESMPRO Agent are installed in the system in which such
software as above is installed, it may be impossible to start NEC ESMPRO Agent
services. If so, delete the SNMP Service once and install the service again. Then,
reinstall NEC ESMPRO Agent and the other vendor's software.
Windows Setup 4-35
Step 11: Enable Boot Monitoring Function
When necessary for system operation, enable the “Boot Monitoring” setting which has been
disabled in “Step 3: Disable Boot Monitoring Function” (page 4-9). Or, see “Step 3: Disable Boot
Monitoring Function” (page 4-9) and set appropriate time (default is 10 min.).
4-36 Windows Setup
Step 12: Make Settings for Failure Management
Make the following settings beforehand to ensure quick recovery from failure.
Set Memory Dump (Debug Information)
This section explains the setting for collecting memory dump (debug information) in the server.
IMPORTANT: Notes on memory dump
The maintenance personnel designated by your sales agent are responsible for collecting
memory dump. Customers should make settings of memory dump only.
Sometimes a message indicating a shortage of virtual memory appears at the system startup,
when a failure has occurred after making settings described here and you have restarted the
system to save the memory dump. Continue the startup. If you restart the system, you may
not be able to collect the memory dump accurately.
If an error such as a stop error of the OS occurs, the normal dump function may run instead
of the quick dump function depending on the system status. However, the memory dump
file can be used for failure analysis equivalent to that of the quick dump function.
Take the following steps to set memory dump:
1. From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] and then click [System].
The [System Properties] dialog box appears.
2. Click the [Advanced] tab.
3. Click [Settings] in the [Startup and Recovery]
box.
Windows Setup 4-37
4. Enter the location, where debug information is to be written, in the text box.
When writing debug information under the file name "MEMORY.DMP" in the D drive:
D:\MEMORY.DMP
IMPORTANT:
[Complete memory dump] should be specified for writing debug information.
However, if the mounted memory size is over 2GB, specify [Kernel Memory
Dump]; you cannot specify [Complete memory dump].Quick dump function is
enabled when specifying the [Complete memory dump]. If you specify the setting
other than the [Complete memory dump], the dump function for OS standard
works.
Specify a drive which has a free space of the size of memory in the NEC
Express5800/ft series + 12MB or more (If the memory size is over 2GB, 2048MB
+ 12MB).
If the memory will be expanded to larger than 2 GB, change Write Debugging
Information to [Kernel Memory Dump] before expanding the memory. Size of the
debugging information (memory dump) to be collected will change due to memory
increase. Check how much free space the hard disk to which debugging
information is written has.
Perform the steps below to change your memory dump setting, if a total memory
capacity exceeds 2GB after additional memory has been installed in the system
with complete memory dump enabled. If the setting is not changed, incorrect
dump files may be collected.
1) Go to [Control Panel], click [System], and then click [Advanced] to open the
[Startup and Recovery] dialog box. Choose “Small memory dump” and click [OK].
2) Return the setting to “Kernel memory dump” and click [OK].
In the system failure settings, it is recommended to specify “Automatically
restart.” When this option is not selected, the operation cannot be switched to the
disks that are mirrored if the system cannot be started due to a disk error.

IMPORTANT:
Be sure to create the file in the size more than [Recommended] value in the OS
partition. If a value smaller than the [Recommended] value is set for [Initial Size] of
the paging file, accurate debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
For the [Recommended] value, see "Size of the Partition to be Created" (page 4-5).
To be prepared for failure, it is recommended to press the dump button to see if the
memory dump can be collected in normally beforehand.
If the memory has been expanded, re-set the paging file according to the memory
size.
