Installing Windows Server 2003
You install operating system software when you create an emulated drive by
choosing Create a New Emulated Drive from the SunPCi Options menu. See
“Emulated Drives and SunPCi III Software” on page 12. If you want to perform a
custom installation using scripts that differ from the standard Microsoft installation
scripts, see “How to Perform a Custom Installation” on page 72.
Caution SunPCi III 3.2.1 does not support simultaneous operation of Windows
Server 2003 on both the system and external monitors.
Installation Notes
Make sure that you have the following media and information available before you
begin installation:
Windows Server 2003 retail installation software CD
Customized installation scripts, if needed
The network system name for each SunPCi III card installed in your system
The workgroup or domain name for your Windows Server 2003 installation on
each SunPCi III card installed in your system
How to Perform a Custom Installation
Caution When you specify an operating system to auto-install in the Create a
New Emulated Drive dialog box, the software automatically finds and copies setup
files, boot files, system files, and drivers that are appropriate for that operating
system. The software also launches Windows Setup when SunPCi software reboots.
Do not perform a custom installation unless you want to use customized installation
scripts.

system software.
See “Emulated Drives and SunPCi III Software” on page 12. Set options in the Create
a New Emulated Drive dialog box as follows:
