3.0 Installation instructions for Microsoft Windows 2000

Notes:

• To make sure that the internal components are cooled properly, do not remove the cover while operating an IBM eServer xSeries server. Take precautions when moving an IBM eServer xSeries server. See the Installation Guide that comes with the server for more information.
• Components can be installed after you complete the Windows 2000 operating system installation process.
• If the server comes with an IBM ServeRAID adapter, you must perform the additional procedures in section 5.0 Appendix before proceeding with the installation instructions in this section.

Complete the following steps to install Microsoft Windows 2000:

1. Turn on the server. Insert the Windows 2000 Setup CD into the CD-ROM drive.
   
   Note: You might be prompted with the message press any key to boot from cd. Press any key to start the server from the Windows 2000 Setup CD.
   
   
2. Immediately after the Windows Setup is displayed, the message Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration is displayed. If you are using the integrated SCSI controller, press F6 to install a third party SCSI driver. If you are not using the integrated SCSI controller, proceed to step 7.
3. Windows 2000 Setup displays a window to manually specify a controller. Select S to specify additional devices.
4. When prompted, insert the manufacturer's supplied hardware support diskette.
   • If the server has an integrated Adaptec SCSI controller, insert the diskette that contains the Adaptec Ultra 320 SCSI device driver. For information about downloading the Adaptec Ultra320 device driver from the IBM Web site, go to Software and device drivers - IBM eServer xSeries 206, 306 , then navigate to the required device driver.
   • After inserting the correct diskette, press Enter.
5. Select Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Cards (Windows 2000) from the list, then press Enter.
6. After Setup finishes copying files, you have the option to specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM drives, or special disk controllers for use with Windows 2000. If there are no more additional mass storage devices to specify, press Enter.
7. The Windows 2000 setup window opens after a short delay. The Windows 2000 setup will take a few minutes to load. The Welcome to Setup is displayed at the top right corner of the window. When you are prompted to install Windows 2000, press Enter.
8. When the licensing agreement is displayed, after you read the licensing agreement, press Page Down to scroll to the bottom of the window, and press F8 to select I Agree.
9. In the Setup window, all hard disk storage that is available on the server is displayed. Select one of the following options to choose or create a drive partition in which to install Windows 2000:
   • Allow setup to create a partition - To partition the entire hard disk as one primary partition, select non-partitioned space on your hard disk and press Enter.
   • Create a Partition - To create a partition, highlight the non-partitioned space on the hard disk. Press the C key; you will be prompted to indicate how much available space to allocate from the nonpartitioned drive. Type the amount of space (in megabytes) and press Enter.
   • Delete a Partition.
10. After you select a drive to partition, when you are prompted to choose a file system, select NTFS file system.
    
    Notes:
    • Setup will format the selected partition and copy the applicable files to the drive partition. This process will take several minutes.
    • The server restarts to the graphical portion of setup where setup will continue with the installation of Windows 2000. During this process, setup will automatically install and configure devices in the server. This process will take several minutes.
      
      
11. The Regional Settings will default to U.S. settings. If you do not install the server in the U.S., make the necessary changes. Then click Next to continue.
    
    Note: To modify the regional settings after installing Windows 2000, click Control Panel, then click Regional Options.
    
    
12. The Personalize Your Software window opens. Type your name and organization in the applicable fields. The names you type are used as default computer names. Applications that you install on the server at a later time will use this information for the product registration and document identification. Click Next to continue.
13. When you are prompted, type the Windows 2000 Setup CD-Key in the applicable fields. Click Next to continue.
14. In the Licensing Modes window, select the appropriate licensing mode for your organization. Click Next to continue.
15. At the server Name and Administrator Password window, you are prompted for an administrator password and server name. (Setup uses the organization name that you typed previously as a suggested name for the server.) Type your server name and password. Click Next to continue.
    
    Note: Passwords are case sensitive. Be sure to use a combination of upper and lower case letters with at least one number for your password.
    
    
16. In the Time Zone window, set the current time for Windows 2000. To change the date, click the button to the right of the date. To change the time, highlight the value you want to change and enter the correct values using the keyboard or the up and down arrow keys. Click Next to continue.
    
    Note: Windows 2000 services perform many tasks that are dependent on the accuracy of the time and date settings of the server. Be sure to select the correct time zone for the server location to avoid problems.
    
    
17. In the Networking Settings window, select either typical or custom settings. If custom settings is selected, you will be prompted to type the appropriate network information. Click Next to install Windows networking components.
    
    Note: If your network card is not functioning (expected for your xSeries 206 server), you will not be prompted for network information. You can set up your network from Windows 2000 after installation.
    
    
18. In the Workgroup or Computer Domain window, selected one of the following options:
    • No, this computer is not on a network, it is a network without a domain.
    • Yes, make this computer a member of the following domain box.
    Type the workgroup or domain name in the appropriate fields. Click Next to continue.Setup installs and configures the remaining operating system components according to the options you specified. The display in the left column is the amount of time remaining until the Windows 2000 installation is completed. This process might take several minutes.
