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 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
