Follow the instructions in this document in sequential order unless these instructions advise you otherwise. Windows and messages might differ from those in this document. Throughout this document, the term select is used to denote the use of arrow keys, the Tab key, or Alt + a letter combination to make a selection from a menu. The term click is used to denote the use of a mouse to make a selection.

You must have the following software and hardware for the installation:

• A licensed copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SP1 integrated into the installation package.
• Supported hard disk drives. Go to ServerProven list of supported options and part numbers for the server.

You can download device drivers and files from the following sites:

• IBM United States Support Web site
• For countries outside the United States
• IBM device driver download Web site
• IBM ServeRAID device driver Web site

To install Windows Server 2003, complete the following steps:

1. Turn on the server and insert the Windows Server 2003 Setup SP1 CD into the CD drive. When you are prompted with the message Press any key to boot from cd, press any key. The Windows Server 2003 SP1 Setup program copies files from the installation CD. This process takes a few minutes.

2. In the License Agreement window, read the agreement, and press F8 to select I Agree and continue.

3. When Windows Server 2003 Setup displays all hard disk storage that is available on the server, select one of the following options to choose or create a drive partition in which to install Windows Server 2003:

   • Allow Setup to create a partition: To partition the entire hard disk as one primary partition, highlight non-partitioned space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2003 and press Enter.
   • Create a partition: To create a partition, highlight Non-partitioned space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2003 and press C. You are prompted to indicate how much available space to allocate from the nonpartitioned drive. Type the amount of space (in MB) and press Enter.
   • Delete a partition.
     
     

4. When you are prompted to select a file system, select NTFS file system.

   Notes:
   • Setup formats the selected partition and copies the applicable files to the drive partition. This process takes several minutes.
   • The server restarts to the graphical portion of Setup where Setup continues with the installation of Windows Server 2003. During this process, Setup automatically installs and configures devices in the server. This process takes several minutes.
     
     

5. Change the regional settings if you are not installing the server in the United States Click Next.

   Note: To modify the regional settings after installing Windows Server 2003, click Control Panel and click Regional Options.

6. In the Personalize Your Software window, when you are prompted for your name and organization, type your name in the Name field and type your organization in the Organization field. The names that you type are used as default server names. Applications that you later install on the server use this information for the product registration and document identification. Click Next.

7. When you are prompted for the Windows Server 2003 Setup CD-Key, type the Windows Server 2003 Setup CD-Key in the applicable fields. Click Next. (Setup uses the organization name that was entered previously, as a suggested name for the server.)

    Note: Windows Server 2003 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.

11. In the Networking Settings window, select Typical or Custom settings. If you are prompted, type the applicable network information. Click Next to install Windows networking components.
