An Overview of Installation Tasks
Module Objective
• The generic networking model• Stage at the generic networking
model• Installation in perspective• Pre-installation• Network OS installation on the server• Post-installation
The Generic Networking Model
Stage in Generic Networking Model
Hardware Installation
Network OS Installation
Installation in Perspective
• Pre-Installation • NT Server OS Installation• Post-Installation Consideration
Pre-Installation
• Selection and installation of network hardware
• Interface card configuration at the hardware level, if required– IRQ, I/O Address and Memory Address
Network OS Installation on the Server
• Installation of a server on the network
• Covered in this chapter• Post-installation procedures are
required for transforming the network into a fully functional network
Post-Installation
• Managing Domains and Users• Managing Soft Resources• Managing Hard Resources• Managing the Server• Managing the Client Stations• Monitoring and managing the
Network Performance

MODULE
Pre-Installation Considerations
Module Objectives
• Pre-installation considerations• Hardware compatibility• Launching the installation• File systems• Role of the server revisited
Pre-installation Considerations
• Hardware compatibility• OS launching options• File system details• Role of the server
Hardware Compatibility
• Processor• Motherboards• RAM uniformity• Display types• Server hard disk
– SCSI– Enhanced IDE
Hardware Compatibility Cont.
• CD-ROM installation and sharing– SCSI CD-ROM– Non-SCSI CD-ROM
• Limited support
• Sound card • RAID Storage etc.
Obtaining a Compatibility List
• Network OS literature• Web page of Microsoft• CompuServe forum• Microsoft download
Launching the Installation
• Floppy disks• Supported CD-ROMs
– SCSI– Some IDE
• Unsupported CD-ROMs• From a network
File System Details
• NTFS– Windows NT file system– Use for new NT installations and upgrades as
decided
• FAT32– Supported in newer NT and newer Windows
9X
• FAT– Install to maintain compatibility with DOS and
old Windows operating system
Role of the Server
• Primary Domain Controller (PDC)• Secondary Domain Controller
(SDC)• Stand-Alone Server

MODULE
Network Protocols
Module Objectives
• Major protocols supported• NetBEUI• NWLINK IPX/SPX• TCP/IP
Major Network Protocols
• TCP/IP• NetBEUI• IPX/SPX
Other Protocols
• DLC• Point to Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP)• etc.
NetBEUI
• NetBIOS extended user interface• Standard user interface for LANs of
20 to 200 users• Non-routeable suitable for a single
type of network• Purpose:
– Communicate with other computers using NetBEUI
NWLINK IPX/SPX
• For linking and inter-operability with NetWare networks
• NetWare access supported– Directories and files– Printers
• Essentially a gateway service to NetWare
• Suitability– Inter-networking with NetWare networks
TCP/IP
• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
• Purpose– Connecting heterogeneous networks
• Example– Connecting to the internet

MODULE
Installation Overview and Preparation
Module Objectives
• Overview of important server installation steps
• Launching the installation• Microsoft definition of installation stages• Installation preparation• Minimum hardware detection and
configuration• Preparation for installation
Overview of Major Server Installation Steps
• Launch the installation• Provide file system details• Name the server and select its role• Specify administrator account
password• Create emergency repair disk• Select the OS components to be
installed
Overview (Continuation)
• Select and setup the network interface card driver
• Select the protocols for installation• Add and install network services• Configure the network adapter with
resource values and confirm protocol bindings
• Specify server and domain names• Enter date and time properties• Configure the display
Installation Package
A Note on Installation Launching
Load disk drivers etc.Start with
Floppy Disks.
Continue with the CD-ROM
Start installing the NOS.
Grouping of the Installation Activities
Installation Preparation
Actual Network OS Installation
Gather informationabout the
computer (server).
Install NTnetworking.
Finish setup.
Overview of Installation Preparation
• Minimum hardware configuration– Initial hard disk and CD-ROM configuration
• Minimum driver installation and configuration– NT drivers for hard disk and CD-ROM
• Select file type such as, for instance, NTFS
• From this point onwards the installation proceeds based on the NT CD-ROM
Minimum Hardware Detection and Configuration
Partitionhard disk
using FDISK (Optional).
Boot from floppy and load drivers for
storage devices etc..
Confirm disks displayed and,if necessary, add other disks
attached to the server. Next
Preparation for Installation
Specify this as a new Installation
Decide on partitionand format ,
either FAT or NTFS.
Specify the directory.
Restart the computer.
Previous
Optionally choose to examine the hard disk
for corruption.
