configuration or load a previously saved configuration. This method saves time
when configuring multiple, identical systems. Select Replicate on the
Configuration Assistant menu.

NOS Installation

The NOS installation process, whether automated or manual, is the same in
custom configuration mode as in Express configuration mode. The difference is
Express guides you through the process.

Manual NOS Installation

Before you perform a manual NOS installation, you must manually create
NOS-specific drivers diskettes and print instructions. You can do this
either on a separate PC or on the powered-up NetServer.
Create Drivers Diskette(s): On the Create Drivers Diskette(s) screen,
select Create Drivers Diskette(s) to create one or more customized
diskettes containing HP drivers and configuration files to use when you
install the NOS.
Print and Read Instructions: You may already have done this directly
from the Custom Configuration menu option Show NOS Instructions.
If not, on the Show NOS Installation Instructions screen, select Save to
Disk to copy the Network Operating System Installation Instructions to
disk. Then print them out from the disk. Read the instructions first and
then follow them to manually install the NOS.

Automated NOS Installation:

For certain versions of Novell NetWare/IntranetWare or Microsoft
Windows NT Server, Configuration Assistant partitions and formats
the hard disk drive(s), and Installation Assistant guides you through the
NOS installation and configures the NOS with the appropriate drivers
for the HP-bundled configuration.
