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 proper appropriate 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 50 MB and 2 GB.
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. Use the Netfinity and PC Server Ethernet Controller Device Driver diskette for the integrated Ethernet controller.
8. NetWare 4.2 installation does not install multiple processor support. Install multiple processor support after the base installation has been completed.
9. 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 driver that is ODI 3.31 compliant.
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. Verify that you are at the latest level of BIOS.
