the HP NetServer installation.

Express Configuration

Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer
since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you
default selections. Express configuration includes the following steps:
Update System BIOS:
This step appears if Configuration Assistant detects a newer version of the
BIOS is available on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. You must
update your BIOS to the new version if you want to continue in Express
mode. You can also change the BIOS language displayed.
Select NOS:
You will be asked to select the NOS and version you plan to install.
Select NOS Installation Mode:
For certain versions of Novell NetWare/IntranetWare and Microsoft
Windows NT Server, you will be asked;
Would you like to use HP's automated mode of
NOS installation?
Select Yes for automated NOS installation.
Perform an automated NOS installation for first-time installation of
Novell NetWare/IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server on a
factory-configured HP NetServer. Automated NOS installation will
guide you through the NOS installation, set up the hard disk drive, and
configure your NOS with appropriate drivers for HP-bundled
configurations.
This installation also loads the Local Support Tool onto Windows NT
or NetWare systems. The Local Support Tool is a stand-alone support
tool accessed directly from the HP NetServer. It gives you information
to help you manage the HP NetServer.
Automated NOS Installation: For certain versions of Novell
NetWare/IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server,
Configuration Assistant partitions and formats the hard disk drive, and
Installation Assistant guides you through the NOS installation and
configures the NOS with the appropriate drivers for the HP-bundled
configuration.
