1. Starting an Experion PKS installation
1.1 Experion PKS installation modes options
ATTENTION
All installations should be started by first reviewing the Getting Started with
Experion Software Guide (GSG).
The following table assumes you were brought here from the GSG.
ATTENTION
All installations must be performed on an isolated network. The network must
remain isolated until anti-virus protection software is installed. Any network
connectivity during installation are a security risk on networks that have
external connectivity.
Topic Go to
Clean Installation using Unattended Workstation Page 15

Deployment (UWD)
UWD installation is an automated process that installs the Windows
Operating System followed by the Experion PKS Application software.
This is the preferred method that should be used on all Honeywell
qualified machines.
UWD is not intended for systems not purchased from Honeywell. Even
Dell machines purchased from other vendors can contain unqualified
hardware that would cause UWD to fail.
Factory Installations - Experion Nodes Purchased from Page 15

Honeywell
Experion PKS computers purchased from Honeywell come with
Experion PKS software preinstalled. You will use the same task list as
a UWD installation described above, skipping the initial steps that
utilize the EXPPlus and Applications media. Once you begin Factory
Setup, complete all subsequent tasks.

1.2. Solution Support On-line (SSOL)
Topic Go to
Manual Clean Installation and OEM Users. Page 27

Manual Clean Installation can be done in two ways.
1) Install OS using EXPPlus Media in OS Only mode, followed by
Experion PKS software using the Application Media.
2) Install OS using OEM media and procedures, followed by Experion
PKS software using Application Media. This method is used if you
have purchased a computer from a vendor other then Honeywell
and is defined in the Getting Started with Experion Software Guide
(GSG).
1.2 Solution Support On-line (SSOL)

1.3. Recommendations
1.3 Recommendations
TIP
The following are TIPS and information that apply throughout this
document. Some of these may also be repeated within this document in
order to emphasize their importance
No. TIP
1 Make a copy of the checklist so that it is easier to keep track of where you are
in the installation process.
2 Several critical functions depend on proper time synchronization. Without the
proper time synchronization, functions like DSA and Controller
communications may not work correctly.
3 If you need help during installation process, refer to the On-Line Help by
selecting the help button for a detailed description of the options on each
screen.

02/07 Honeywell
1.3. Recommendations
No. TIP
4 During a reboot sequence the FteImDrv driver will record several Error
Events in the System Event log. These Error Events are expected. The
FteImDrv driver gets loaded before the underlying NIC driver and will not be
able to see the NICs until the E1000 or E100 driver is loaded.
You will see the events from FteImDrv showing the media disconnected
followed by the event that FteImDrv can’t access the adapter and finally the
event that the media is connected.
This is a normal sequence of Events.

ATTENTION
• Experion PKS R301.1 Installation does not support the use of a mapped
DVD drive.
• You cannot install Experion PKS nodes on a computer that is configured
as a Windows domain controller. You can however be a member of a
domain.
• The computer restarts during the installation process, so it is
recommended that you have no other applications running during the
installation process.
ATTENTION
Before installing your operating system, the hard drive will be re-formatted.
Make sure that you have disconnected any external drives so that those
drives will not be inadvertently re-formatted instead of the internal hard drive.

installation, you will need “Experion PKS Application Software Media”.
Introduction
The EXPPlus media can be used for the following installation scenarios:
• A clean installation of the Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition) on the
following Honeywell servers
− SC1430-based Honeywell platform.
− 1600SC-based Honeywell platform
− 1800-based Honeywell platform
• A clean installation of the Windows XP Professional on the following Honeywell
workstations:

02/07 Honeywell
4.1. EXPPlus - Client/Server initialization

− Honeywell-supplied Integrated Operator Node (I.O.N.)
CAUTION
Honeywell Qualified platforms contain configurations and hardware
components that are specific to the Honeywell configuration.
Similar models purchased directly from Dell or from some other manufacturer
may not contain the same qualified hardware. In this case, for Dell platforms,
use Dell’s OEM installation method.
Considerations
Before proceeding to install EXPPlus, refer to the following steps for hardware and
peripherals setup.
Step Action
1 Insert the EXPPlus media into the appropriate drive of the target platform.
Autorun launches the On-Media web home page.
For a migration, close this screen and proceed to the next step.
Note: It may be necessary to perform this procedure on a system that already
has a running Windows operating system to view the information about the
installation. Items such as RAID, BIOS, etc may have to be modified.
2 For PowerEdge Servers with RAID Controllers: Click on Tools Link on the
left hand side, then on RAID Configuration link at top of the Tools page.
Review the information on the page, and if necessary perform the steps on the
target platform to initialize the RAID configuration before starting the
installation.
3 For Workstations: Click on the Multi-Monitor setup instructions link (in the
left side) and connect the Monitors as described.
4 For Workstations: Click on the Keyboard/Touchscreen setup instructions
link (in the left side) and connect the Keyboards and/or Touchscreens as
described.

Honeywell 02/07
Step Action
5 Restart the target node. Upon BIOS initialization, press F2 key to enter the
BIOS Configuration/Setup page.

5.2. Updating the hosts file
5.2 Updating the hosts file

You must identify the computer name and associated IP address of each Experion PKS
server and Console Station in the hosts file. Both server and client computers require a
modified hosts file with identical entries, so you can edit the hosts file on one
computer and then copy it to each computer in the Experion PKS system.
The hosts file is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\, where
%SystemRoot% is normally C:\WINDOWS.
Use any text editing tool, such as Notepad, to edit the file. The file name is hosts
The following server naming conventions is used in the host file examples provided:
Standalone Server network name: SERVER
Redundant Primary Server network name: SERVERA
Redundant Secondary Server network name: SERVERB
Console Station XX network name (where XX = 01 - 10): CSTNXX
The following examples show typical system configurations and the entries that should
be included in the hosts file. The following examples assume that the system contains
two Console Stations. Replace network addresses and network names with value
appropriate for your configuration. Any text following a "#" (without quotes) on a single
line is a comment and may be omitted from the hosts file.
Example 1: Standalone (non-redundant Cluster Server system) with Single Link

(Single LAN / FTE)
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 SERVER # Server
192.168.0.3 CSTNE # Console Station
192.168.0.5 CSTNF # Console Station
Example 2: Redundant (redundant Cluster Server system) with Single Link (Single
LAN / FTE)
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 SERVERA SERVERA0 # Server A
192.168.0.3 SERVERB SERVERB0 # Server B
192.168.0.5 CSTNE # Console Station
192.168.0.7 CSTNF # Console Station
Example 3: Standalone (non-redundant Cluster Server system) with Dual Links

(Dual LAN)
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 SERVER SERVER0 # Server
