1.0 Before installing Windows 2000

This document provides Netfinity 5000 system users with the installation instructions for a basic Windows 2000 Server installation. Windows 2000 Server presents many different installation options. The user may install or uninstall options that will allow maximum performance from their Netfinity 5000 Server. This may result in windows and messages that will differ from those described in this document. To ensure that Windows 2000 is installed correctly complete the following instructions. Windows 2000 allows users to install components after the installation is completed. If your system is configured with an IBM ServeRAID adapter review 4.0 Appendix before continuing with 2.0 Installation instructions.
