This subsection provides information on installing the Microsoft® Windows Server®
2003 Standard Edition x32 or x64 in the system. Read the instructions in this section
before proceeding the installation.
Installation Notice
This section explains precautions and matters you should be aware of before beginning
the installation in order to install Windows Server 2003 correctly.
Supported Operating System on this Model
The system supports Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (hereinafter,
referred to as "Windows Server 2003") x32 and x64.
BIOS Specification
Before installing the Operating System, verify if the BIOS specification of the
hardware is correct. Refer to “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 171.
Restrictions
- Before starting the installation, complete all the process of adding the optional
device and the setup of system mainframe (BIOS and optional board specifica-
tion)
- After completing Express Setup, see "Setup for Solving Problems" described
later to specify the settings for trouble recovery such as "Specifying Memory
Dump".
Installing on a RAID Pack
If you want to install Windows Server 2003 on a volume, the RAID pack needs to be
configured first.
Creating Partition Size
The minimum size for the partition where the system is to be installed can be calculated
from the following formula.
Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size
Size necessary to install the system= 2900 MB
Paging File Size (Recommended)= Mounted Memory Size × 1.5
Dump file Size= Mounted Memory Size + 12 MB
Caution:
•
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information
(memory dump). If you set the default value of paging file size smaller
than the 'recommended' value, the accurate debug information (memory
dump) may not be collected.
