Evaluating and Implementing Compaq Data Center Solutions for Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server 19 To complete the installation of the factory-installed operating system and to configure the server: 1. Power up the server and carefully follow the online prompts, making keyboard or mouse entries only when prompted by the system. Several status windows appear describing the processes that are occurring during the software installation. CAUTION: The server requires a reboot at the end of the installation. Do not power down the server at any time during the installation process. Any power interruption during the installation process could prevent proper completion of the configuration and might prevent the operating system from restarting. 2. Type C at the Compaq Welcome screen to continue with the installation, or type V to view the original server configuration. After typing C, the server software license screen appears. Read all software license agreements provided with the server. 3. Type A to accept the license agreements and continue the installation. The setup process begins. Follow the instructions on the screen and allow the entire setup process to complete, including any requested restarts. Do not interrupt this process or power down the server. After the initial setup has completed, the server can be configured to meet your individual needs. Found New Hardware If the Found New Hardware Wizard opens during the operating system installation, click Cancel. Do not proceed with the installation of drivers until after the second logon, when the operating system is fully installed. IMPORTANT: If driver installation is attempted during the operating system installation, the server may automatically reboot before the driver installation completes. This could result in incorrect installation of the device. Note: Due to some driver installation needs, the system may complete the driver installation after the first required logon. Do not perform any actions on the Configure Your Server screen. If additional drivers are loaded, the system will complete the driver installation and automatically reboot. The next time the system presents a logon prompt, log on normally and proceed to use the new operating system. Some parts of the setup process are automatically configured, and these screens do not display. In the future, if any preconfigured information needs to be changed, refer to the operating system online help for instructions. Of the screens that are automatically configured, the following information may require later changes: • Licensing Mode-The Server License mode is set at the factory for Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. If additional licenses were purchased, apply them after the initial operating system installation completes. Refer to the online help or the operating system documentation for information on adding licenses. • Administrator Password-The administrator account password has been left blank intentionally. Change the password immediately after the software installation is complete. The administrator password can be changed during the initial setup when entering the 13PS-0501B-WWEN
