Advisories

This section contains advisories on the EXPRESSBUILDER and system

documentation.

EXPRESSBUILDER

!EXPRESSBUILDER EasySetup always configures the Windows 2000

TCP/IP Protocol IP settings to "Obtain an IP address automatically"

(DHCP), regardless of the IP address setting specified in EasySetup. If static

TCP/IP addressing is required, TCP/IP must be reconfigured. Refer to your

Windows 2000 documentation for instructions.

!The Administrator Menu in the System Information Management segment

of the Offline Maintenance Utility is accessible only by NEC authorized

service representatives.

!EXPRESSBUILDER operates in floppy emulation mode. The emulated

floppy drive portion of your system CD-ROM is designated Drive A and the

remaining portion(s) of the CD-ROM is designated Drive Q. Your system

diskette drive is Drive B. After creating the Off-line Maintenance Utility

diskette, EXPRESSBUILDER prompts you to remove the diskette from

Drive B. At this prompt, remove the diskette from your diskette drive.

4Express5800/120Ra-1 System Release Notes

!After installing Windows 2000, the Windows 2000 Device Manager may

show an NEC GEM SCSI Processor Device and/or an Unknown Device

under Other Devices. The Unknown Device is a reference to the baseboard

management controller. Installing the ESMPRO Agent can clear both of

these conditions.

!If you already have an operating system installed when creating a

maintenance partition, ExpressBuilder will warn you of the existing

partition. If you want to preserve the installed operating system, do not

create the maintenance partition or the existing operating system will be

overlaid by the maintenance partition.

System Documentation

The following advisory applies to your Server’s Network Operating System

Configuration Guide.

!In the Network Operating System Configuration Guide, Step 8 of "Installing

Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System" should read as follows:

Execute "w2k\update.exe" from the "NEC Update Module" diskette.
