Windows Setup 4-5
Size of the Partition to be Created
The required minimum size of a partition to install the system can be obtained from the following
formula:
Size required for installation + paging file size + dump file size
Size required for installation
Paging file size (recommended)
Dump file size
= 3,500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
= size of memory mounted* u 1.5
= size of memory mounted* + 12MB
IMPORTANT:
„
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information (memory
dump). If a value smaller than the “Recommended” value is set for the initial size of
the paging file, correct debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
„
„
The maximum paging file size is 4095MB in a partition. If 1.5 times the size of
mounted memory is larger than 4095MB, set the size at 4095MB.
If the size of mounted memory is larger than 2GB, the maximum size of dump file is
“2048MB+12MB.”
TIPS: The mounted memory size means the total of memory installed on a single CPU/IO
module.
For example, if memory of 1GB is mounted, the required minimum partition size obtained from the
above formula is as follows:
3500MB + (1024MB u 1.5) + (1024MB +12MB) = 6072MB
TIPS: The minimum partition size you can specify in the Express Setup is 6072MB. The
partition size must be 6072MB or larger for automatic installation. Therefore the size
smaller than 6072MB cannot be specified.

Step 4: Start the Express Setup
Set up with the Express Setup functions of NEC EXPRESS BUILDER.
“Express Setup” is a setup method for NEC
Express5800 series to smoothly configure
settings as internal parameters and status of
hardware and to install OS (Windows Server
2003) and various utilities by using the “NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER” CD-ROM which comes
with the server. Use this “Express Setup” when
using hard disk drives with their partition
setting different from those at shippment, or
when reinstalling the OS. It performs
complicated setups automatically.
Express Setup edits the information required
for the setup and saves it to a floppy disk
before the setup, to proceed a series of setup
processes. The floppy disk used here is called
[Configuration diskette].
TIPS:
„
[Configuration diskette] is a setup disk that stores the information set/selected during
Express Setup.
Express Setup executes all the setup process automatically, based on this information.
It is not necessary to sit by the system and check the status, during the setup. Also, if
you use the Configuration diskette that has been used last time, you can create the
same setup condition as the previous one.
„
„
Users are responsible for preparing the Configuration diskette.
You can create a parameter file in advance, by using “Configuration Diskette
Creator®” in NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
If you create [Configuration diskette] in advance, you can skip the options that need
to be entered or selected during Express Setup. (You can create or modify the setup
information in the Configuration diskette, during Express Setup). If any computer
that is running on Windows XP/2000/Windows Server 2003 is available, it is
recommended to edit the setup information with Configuration Diskette Creator in
advance.
„
You cannot use the mouse in the Express Setup. Use the keyboard to proceed the
setup.
For the procedure to create a parameter file with Configuration Diskette Creator, refer to User’s
Guide.

Setup Procedures
Express Setup configures the settings for each of the parameters in the Wizard form. You can also
save each of the parameters as one file (parameter file) to a floppy disk.
CHECK:
To execute Express Setup with a parameter file, one empty 1.44MB formatted floppy disk
is required. Prepare an empty floppy disk in advance.
When you reinstall OS, you can skip entering the parameter in the Wizard form, by reading
the parameter file that has been saved.
Also, during Express Setup, to individually apply the attached driver FDs (OEM-FD for
high-capacity storage), it is necessary to configure the parameter file settings as well. You
also need to prepare an empty floppy disk for this purpose.
IMPORTANT:
In case of changing the system configuration, update the system (page 6-8).
1. Turn on the peripherals and then NEC Express5800/ft series.
TIPS:
To connect a hard disk drive other than the one to which you install OS, install the

Step 12: Make Settings for Failure Management
Make the following settings beforehand to ensure quick recovery from failure.
Set Memory Dump (Debug Information)
This section explains the setting for collecting memory dump (debug information) in the server.
IMPORTANT: Notes on memory dump
„
The maintenance personnel designated by your sales agent are responsible for collecting
memory dump. Customers should make settings of memory dump only.
„
Sometimes a message indicating a shortage of virtual memory appears at the system startup,
when a failure has occurred after making settings described here and you have restarted the
system to save the memory dump. Continue the startup. If you restart the system, you may
not be able to collect the memory dump accurately.
„
If an error such as a stop error of the OS occurs, the normal dump function may run instead
of the quick dump function depending on the system status. However, the memory dump
file can be used for failure analysis equivalent to that of the quick dump function.
Take the following steps to set memory dump:
1. From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] and then click [System].
The [System Properties] dialog box appears.
2. Click the [Advanced] tab.
3. Click [Settings] in the [Startup and Recovery]
box.

Windows Setup 4-37
4. Enter the location, where debug information is to be written, in the text box.
When writing debug information under the file name "MEMORY.DMP" in the D drive:
D:\MEMORY.DMP
IMPORTANT:
„
[Complete memory dump] should be specified for writing debug information.
However, if the mounted memory size is over 2GB, specify [Kernel Memory
Dump]; you cannot specify [Complete memory dump].Quick dump function is
enabled when specifying the [Complete memory dump]. If you specify the setting
other than the [Complete memory dump], the dump function for OS standard
works.
„
„
Specify a drive which has a free space of the size of memory in the NEC
Express5800/ft series + 12MB or more (If the memory size is over 2GB, 2048MB
+ 12MB).
If the memory will be expanded to larger than 2 GB, change Write Debugging
Information to [Kernel Memory Dump] before expanding the memory. Size of the
debugging information (memory dump) to be collected will change due to memory
increase. Check how much free space the hard disk to which debugging
information is written has.
„
Perform the steps below to change your memory dump setting, if a total memory
capacity exceeds 2GB after additional memory has been installed in the system
with complete memory dump enabled. If the setting is not changed, incorrect
dump files may be collected.
1) Go to [Control Panel], click [System], and then click [Advanced] to open the
[Startup and Recovery] dialog box. Choose “Small memory dump” and click [OK].
2) Return the setting to “Kernel memory dump” and click [OK].
In the system failure settings, it is recommended to specify “Automatically
restart.” When this option is not selected, the operation cannot be switched to the
disks that are mirrored if the system cannot be started due to a disk error.

CHANGING THE COLOR QUALITY OF DISPLAY TO 32 BIT
The default color quality of the graphics driver is set to 16 bits for the NEC Express5800/ft series.
The server rarely displays the following message when accessing a floppy disk and becomes unable
to access the floppy disk. The default color quality is 16 bit to prevent that from happening.
The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system
drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.
Even if this message is displayed and the server becomes unable to access the floppy disk, the
processing completes by accessing the floppy disk again.
If you need to change the color quality to 32 bit knowing this limitation, apply a special graphic
driver as described below:

Windows started up with the network adapter settings that were not configured in the Express
Setup.
o Windows installs network adapters it recognizes and sets the default value to them. You
can change the settings from Control Panel after Windows is started.
When the Express Setup is performed but no adapter is actually connected, adapter
settings will not be made, but protocols will be installed.
Multiple network adapters have been installed with a different protocol set to each of them.
However all protocols are set to all the adapters.
o This is the specification, which makes all installed protocols available to each adapter.
What cannot be configured by the Express Setup will have default values.
When two or more network adapters have been set, the detailed settings of TCP/IP protocol are
configured to use DHCP.
o When two or more network adapters are set, protocol detailed settings may have default
values. Configure the detailed settings from Control Panel.
Default settings are used for the protocol detailed settings though not more than one network
adapter is connected (for example, though IP address has been set to TCP/IP, DHCP is set).
†
Have you set two or more protocols?
o In this case, the status is the same as the status where two or more network adapters are
connected. Because of this default settings are used for the protocol detailed settings.
Configure the detailed settings from Control Panel after the OS is started.
