3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. If you plan to use the integrated ServeRAID II Adapter as the startup device and also plan to use an external direct access storage device (DASD) enclosure, refer to the documentation that comes with the external enclosure for proper set up.
2. If any industry-standard architecture (ISA) devices are installed (or will be installed) that need interrupt requests (IRQs) or other system resources, such as input/output (I/O) ports or memory reserved, go into the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) settings and select Plug and Play, and then the desired resource type that you want to reserve. Change the desired resource
from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy.
3. Set IRQ 15 to ISA Legacy because of how Novell NetWare handles interrupts.
4. Install the IBM ServeRAID driver using the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.
5. Insert the compact disc (CD) labeled NetWare 5 Operating System and start (boot) the system to run the installation program.
6. ODI 3.31 device drivers are installed by default. If you have a device driver that will not load, obtain a new version of the device driver that is ODI 3.31 compliant.
7. Install Novell NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 1A.
8. Optionally install the hot plug peripheral component interconnect (PCI) support.
4.0 Detailed installation instructions
4.1 Setting up the hardware for NOS installation
1. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
2. Facing the rear of the server, loosen the two thumbscrews on the top-back of the server and remove the top access panel.
3. For the initial installation, remove all adapters and devices that are not required to get the base operating system installed. For example, if installing multiple network adapters, only install one at this time. If a tape drive or external SCSI devices will be used, disconnect them temporarily. The installation instructions only will cover the integrated Ethernet adapter. After the operating system starts (boots) without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure streamlines the installation process.
Note: If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, the following instructions will not apply. Refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for appropriate set up; then, continue with 4.2 Setting up the BIOS.
4. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and continuing downward.

Appendix A: Installing Novell NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 1A
(Appendix A is an excerpt from NW5SP1A.TXT.)
During the NetWare 5 Support Pack installation, the following happens:
1. The NetWare Support Pack files are copied to the server. Newer files on the server are not overwritten. The installation program checks the version of each file. If two files have the same version, the installation program then checks the date of each file.
Note: Files in the \MISC directory are not installed automatically by the NetWare Support Pack.
2. A record is added to the PRODUCTS.DAT file, in the Installed Products section, and the following message appears:
SPACK 5.0.1 v1.0 Support Pack for NetWare 5
Any other product updates are also listed.
A.1 Prerequisites
Before you install the NetWare 5 Support Pack, you must:
1. Unload JAVA.NLM and all Java applications to update JAVA.NLM and the Java class libraries.
2. Load IPXSPX.NLM to install the NetWare 5 Support Pack in an IP-only environment.
3. Have rights to the server console.
4. Make a record of your current SET parameter values. You can do so by loading CONLOG, typing Display Modified Environment, and then unloading CONLOG. Information will be saved to SYS:\ETC\CONSOLE.LOG, which you can use as a reference.
This NetWare 5 update contains a fix that resolves a problem with the registry. As a result, SET parameters will revert to default NetWare 5 values the first time the server is started after installing the Support Pack. After the first start, SET parameters will maintain their values.
5. Ensure that the NetWare 5 server is one of the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, or Spanish.
A.2 Installing the NetWare Support Pack
Note: The Support Pack cannot be installed through the graphical user interface (GUI) installation.
To install the NetWare 5 Support Pack on a single server, complete the following steps:
1. To explode the file, type:
NW5SP1A
and press Enter. Explode the file on the servers volume SYS:, on another server volume, or on a local client that is using RCONSOLE to run the installation.
Note: This file contains directory paths that could exceed the DOS limits. The file must be extracted in a root-level directory on your local drive or on a NetWare volume that accepts longer paths.
2. At the server console prompt, type:
NWCONFIG
and press Enter.
3. Select Product Options.
4. Select Install a Product Not Listed.
5. Depending on where the NetWare Support Pack files are located, complete one of the following steps:
o From the local volume SYS:, press F3 and specify the path, including the volume name
(for example, SYS:\directory name).
o From a different server on the network, press F3 and specify the full path including the server name
(for example, Server_Name\VOL1:\directory name).
You will be prompted for a logon name and password for the other server.
o From a local drive on a client using RCONSOLE, press F4.
6. Press Enter.
7. Press F10 to accept the marked options and continue.
Note: If you want to be able to uninstall the Support Pack later, you must select the option to back up files.
8. Press Enter to end.
9. After files are copied, review the .NCF files for accuracy.
10. At the server console, type:
RESTART SERVER
and press Enter. This restarts (reboots) the server and completes the installation of the NetWare Support Pack.
Appendix B: Installing Hot Plug PCI Support for NetWare v5.0 (Optional)
The minimum server requirements are:
o IBM Netfinity Server with Hot Plug PCI slots
Note: The IBMSBD.NLM driver is designed so that it will not load on any system that does not have Hot Plug PCI slots, including non-IBM systems. If you want to verify that your systems hot-plug subsystem is working properly, load the IBMSBD.NLM driver with the -DETECT flag (for example, LOAD IBMSBD -DETECT).
o IBM Hot Plug PCI System Bus Driver v1.03 (IBMSBD.NLM) provided by this diskette.
o An adapter and a Novell NetWare adapter driver that supports the ODI v3.31 specification or NWPA v3.00b
