HP Tc2100 HP Server Novell NetWare Installation Guide (including v 6.5) - Page 2

Section 1. Novell NetWare Installation Overview Installing NetWare on your network server requires two major steps: Step 1: Preparing the bootable devices (creating a DOS partition, formatting the partition, installing DOS, and connect the system to a CD-ROM drive.) Step 2: Install NetWare and the appropriate HP NetServer mass-storage drivers. Section 2. Automated Installation via the HP NetServer Navigator CD An Automated Installation utility is available on your HP NetServer Navigator CD provided with your HP NetServer that will guide you through the Novell NetWare installation. This utility will automatically create a DOS partition, format the partition, install DOS, connect the NetServer to the CD-ROM drive, start the NetWare installation process and install the appropriate NetServer drivers. To use this utility, first boot your HP NetServer using the Navigator CD. Once at the NetServer Navigator Main Menu, select the Configure the Server option. From the NetServer Navigator Mode Selection for Configuring the Server menu select Guided Setup. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your system and install Novell NetWare. Section 3. Creating the Drivers Diskette and Installing the IDE CD-ROM Driver NOTE: Installing NetWare without using the Automated NOS Installation feature of the HP NetServer Navigator CD requires familiarity with DOS as well as NetWare.
