If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with 3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users. If not, continue with 4.0 Detailed installation instructions.
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 appropriate set up.
2. If any industry-standard architecture (ISA) devices are installed (or will be installed) that need interrupt requests (IRQs) or other server 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 DOS using a DOS partition between 50MB and 2GB.
5. Install the IDE CD-ROM driver from the IDE CD-ROM support package diskette.
6. Install the IBM ServeRAID driver using the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette.
7. Install NetWare from the NetWare 3.12 diskettes or CD without specifying a LAN adapter. Add the 3.2 upgrade; then, restart the server and add the ODI331 LAN device driver updates.
8. Use the Netfinity and PC Server Ethernet Controller Device Driver diskette for the integrated Ethernet 10/100 controller.
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.
5. Replace the top access panel and connect the power cord.
4.2 Setting up the BIOS
1. Power-on the server.
2. Press F1 when the IBM logo appears to enter Configuration/Setup.
3. From the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, select Load Default Settings.
4. Press Enter to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
5. Verify that you are at the latest level of BIOS.
a. Find the latest level by checking the IBM Web, FTP, or BBS site for IBM Netfinity 5500 M20 Flash BIOS Update Diskette.
b. To determine the version of BIOS running on your server, select System Information; then, select Product Data. The Flash EEPROM Revision Level field contains the BIOS version. The numbers in position 5, 6, and 7 of the level are the current BIOS level. For example, KQE116AUS is BIOS level 16A, U.S. English.
c. Press Esc (Escape) twice to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
d. If you determine that your BIOS does not need to be updated, continue with step 8. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
6. If your BIOS does need to be updated, download the appropriate image and build the diskette image by running the .EXE file. Answer Y on the last page of the licensing agreement. The current diskette image is KQE116A.EXE and is labeled IBM Netfinity 5500 M20 Flash BIOS Update Diskette.
7. Start (boot) with the BIOS diskette in the server and answer the questions appropriately. After the BIOS update is complete, you might receive a '162 Configuration has changed' error on startup (boot). Ignore this message. Setup will start and you can continue with step 8.
Note: If you do not see the '162 Configuration has changed' message at startup (boot) time, you will need to press F1 when the IBM logo appears to enter Setup.
8. Select Start Options.
9. Use the arrow keys to change the Primary Startup Sequence to the following:
First Startup Device: Diskette Drive 0
Second Startup Device: Hard Disk 0
Third Startup Device: CD-ROM
Fourth Startup Device: Disabled
10. Press Esc (Escape) to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
11. Select Plug and Play.
12. Select Interrupt Resources and then use the arrow keys to change the IRQ 15 setting from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy.
13. If you do not have any ISA devices installed in the server, continue with step 17. Otherwise, press Esc (Escape) to continue with the next step.
14. Determine the I/O, Memory, DMA, and Interrupt resources that each ISA adapter will require.
15. Select the appropriate resource type and press Enter.
16. Scroll through the selections to the value that matches the ISA Legacy Resource. Use the arrow keys to change the value from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy.
17. Press Esc (Escape) twice to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
18. Select Exit Setup.
19. Select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
