This is not the case if the ALF got lost after a system crash. In this case fetch it from
the Electronic License Management System (ELMS).
INSTRUCTION:
For a detailed description of the procedures to obtain a License File (ALF) refer to the
Licensing Service Manual (DD+DIS012.06E) on MedNet GSO Library
3 Clean Install Procedure
3.1 Prerequisites
ACTION:
Check the following items before starting the installation:
 Check hardware to see if it is supported for NX Operating System.

Install the NX only on computers that are on the supported Hardware list.
The list of supported hardware is specified in NX 2.0.8300 / 3.0.8300 Service
Manual, chapter 1 SW/HW Compatibility Chart DD+DIS105.10E
 Use the correct set of the Installation DVDs:

o NX Starterkit DVD 1
o NX Starterkit DVD 2


 Identify Windows License Key:
For all installations provide the Windows license key for the operating system. This
is often a ‘hologrammed’ sticker attached to the system itself by the manufacturer.
The key itself is referred to as the ‘Product ID’ and
has the form 5 characters in 5 blocks, for example:
HVYF3-T28PW-HWGKB-33J4W-B4VPM (Example)
 Make sure a network is connected:
When installing, the NX PC must have a network connection.

The minimum is a connection to a hub so the system can recognize a network
connection and another PC on the network.
The system can be connected to a larger network like the hospital or company
network. In this case, if other NX systems are installed at the same time, an IP
conflict can occur.
 Optionally, connect a QWERTY (US international) keyboard:
When logged on as administrator MS Windows will always be set to “English”.

Therefore it is easier working with a QWERTY keyboard (US international) attached
when typing something.


3.2 Reset a previous RAID Configuration
