Preparing for the Server Installation
Install Server 2003 and Configure a Static IP Address
Set your Active Directory Domain Controller
Configure a DHCP Server
Test Your Server Set-up
What needs to be done TWO WEEKS prior to and on the day of the installation:
1) At least two weeks before performing this lab:
Each student must log in to the the MSDN website and use their account to download
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with Service Pack 2 32-bit (English), then
burn the two ISO images onto two CD-R discs. All students are required to bring the
following to class one week before the lab day (for checking by the professor) and on the
lab day (to perform the lab):
a) Discs 1 and 2 of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with Service Pack 2
32-bit (English)
b) Their OWN product key obtained at the time of the download
c) An 8-GB USB drive with the DC7100 Ethernet controller’s device driver downloaded
from HP’s website.
2) On the day of the lab, each student signs out, at the start of the lab period:
a) One hard drive (without SATA data cable)
b) Two Ethernet patch cables
3) At the last step of the lab, each student will require:
a) Two more Ethernet cables
b) One additional SATA data cable
Preparing for the Installation
Before you begin, connect your DC7100 using an Ethernet patch (straight-through) cable to the
yellow RJ-45 connector on the partition panel and take note of the port number. On the rackmount Ethernet switch, identify your own port based on your port number and connect your own
port from the patch panel to any one of the ports on the Ethernet switch with a patch cable. Now,
make sure your DC7100 is off. Unplug the existing internal hard drive of your DC7100 and use
the same SATA data and power cables to connect to the hard drive you just signed out. This
way, you will be installing Server 2003 on the drive you signed out, NOT on the existing internal
hard drive of the DC7100 on where Windows XP is installed.
