identical hardware configurations
•Install drivers and additional software
i
Which software can be installed depends on the hardware configuration of your server.
This configuration is automatically detected.

Preparing for use Installing the software
14 A26361-K831-Z102-1-7619
Using ServerStart
The ServerStart user interface is divided into two areas. All the menus for the application can be
quickly found in the Tree View area on the left. In the User Frame area on the right you can navigate
the underlined objects just as you would with an internal browser.
Installation procedure in ServerStart
With help of ServerStart you can carry out the first installation of your server and perform later
adjustments.
Preparation
To install your PRIMERGY server and operating system, you need to boot the server from the
ServerStart-CD. In some circumstances you will need to adjust several settings to do this:
For CD-ROM drives on a IDE bus:
ÊEnsure that the corresponding IDE channel is activated in the BIOS of the system board and
that the CD-ROM drive is the first boot device in the boot sequence (see index entry boot
sequence in the BIOS-Setup manual).

Installing the software Preparing for use
A26361-K831-Z102-1-7619 15
Selecting the desired installation mode
To set up a single server:
It is recommended to configure ServerStart in Guided Mode on the target system. Compared to the
Expert Mode, this offers increased security by recognition and configuration of the hardware.
Continue with the "Installation in Guided Mode" chapter.
i
If you decide to install in Expert Mode, you will need to know the hard disk capacity and
how to remove cards and configure hard disks.
To set up several servers with identical hardware configurations:
In this case, create a target configuration file on a floppy disk either in the Preparation Mode or using
the example in the Guided Mode. Continue with "Replicated installation of several servers
(Windows)" chapter.
i
Only one boot system can be selected in the Preparation Mode and in the Guided Mode,
and only one RAID array can be set as a boot device. If the capacity of the boot drive
cannot be determined, select the "Automatic" option for an optimal partitioning.
Guided installation of a single server
Installation in Guided Mode
In Guided Mode, installation assistants configure your server hardware and disk arrays and then
install the operating system and integrated applications. For the new installation, standard settings
are loaded from a Default Configuration File. This configuration file can be found on the ServerStart-
CD and may be edited by the administrator.
Proceed as follows:
ÊSwitch the server on and insert the ServerStart CD into the drive.
ÊSwitch the server off and on again. ServerStart will now be started from the CD-ROM on the
target system.
ÊAfter the boot process the ServerStart user interface appears. Select the installation mode and
follow the installation process in the User Frame.
ÊA hardware analysis of the target system is performed. Configuration data is gathered for the
installation.
ÊAfter the configuration definition has been completed, the installation phase is initiated without
any additional restart. Data carriers with the operating system, Service packs, and additional
applications are then required to start the installation.
The rest of the installation process including all necessary restarts executes without any input from
the user.
i
Exception: Necessary specifications that were not made in the configuration phase will be
requested during the installation.

Preparing for use Installing the software
16 A26361-K831-Z102-1-7619
i
During the installation of Windows NT/2000 and NetWare 5, ServerStart also automatically
integrates drivers for system components that are not contained in the operating system.
During the installation of other operating systems, ServerStart notifies the user of the
missing drivers. If necessary the user can now make a driver installation floppy disk.
Alternative installation in Expert Mode
In contrast to the Disk and RAID Wizards in the Guided Mode, the Expert Mode lets you directly
configure the hardware using the tools specifically from the manufacturer:
•Windows NT Disk Administrator, Global Flash ServicePartition Manager, DuplexData Partition
Manager
•Mylex GAM (Global Access Manager), Storage Manager
In connection with the configuration in the Expert Mode, the operating system installation can be
performed analogously to the Guided Mode.
i
To update BIOS, firmware, and drivers with the Global Flash Tool, you will need a service
partition. You can set this up conveniently using the Disk Wizard from ServerStart.
