4-6 Windows Setup

Step 2: Prepare for ft series Setup

Before starting ft series setup, be sure to do the following. If these preparations are not done, setup

cannot be performed properly.

• Initialize hard disks

• Prepare NEC Express5800/ft series main unit

2-1: Initialize Hard Disks

To use used hard disks for ft server setup, initialize the following hard disks:

• Hard disk to be inserted into the Slot1 of the PCI module (for Group1)

• Hard disk to be inserted into the Slot1 of the PCI module (for Group2)

Initializing hard disk drives which had been mirrored by the RDR function:

Physically format hard disk drives.

Refer to sections from “System Configuration” to “SCSI BIOS~Fast!UTIL~” in the separate

volume of User’s Guide, and perform “Low-Level Format” by SCSI Disk Utility.

IMPORTANT: Physical formatting takes about 10 minutes for an 18GB-disk.

Initializing hard disk drives which had been mirrored by Disk Management:

Use the fdisk command to format hard disk drives.

1. Create a ROM-DOS startup disk.

For creating a ROM-DOS startup disk, see “NEC EXPRESSBUILDER” – “NEC

EXPRESSBUILDER Top Menu” – “Tools” – “ROM-DOS Startup FD” in the separate

volume of User’s Guide.

2. Insert only the hard disks to initialize into the slots.

IMPORTANT: When initializing a hard disk, insert it into the Slot1 of the PCI

module for Group1.

3. Insert the ROM-DOS startup disk into the floppy disk drive and start the machine.

4. When ROM-DOS starts and prompt “A:\” is displayed, run FDISK command.

5. When the message “Do you wish to enable large disk support? [Y]:” appears, press Y.

6. Press A and delete all partitions. (A: Delete all partitions)

7. When the message “Warning! All data on fixed hard disk 1 will be lost! Are you sure you

want to delete? [N]:” appears, press Y.
