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. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and continuing downward.
2. Configure arrays on the hard disk drives using 'IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Diskette'.
3. If any ISA devices are installed (or will be installed) that need IRQs or other system resources reserved, go into the BIOS settings and select Plug and Play; then, select the desired resource type you want to reserve. Change the desired resource from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy.
4. Insert the Microsoft Windows NT Server, 4.0 CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart (reboot) the server.
5. Press F6 when the message Setup is inspecting your computers hardware configuration appears. Install the IBM PC ServeRAID driver from the IBM PC ServeRAID Drivers and Utilities Diskette.
6. Use the Ethernet drivers that are shipped with the server for the integrated Netfinity PC Net Ethernet controller. Use Netfinity and PC Server Ethernet Controller Driver. The path to the driver is A:\WINNT.
7. Install Microsofts NT Service Pack 4.
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 server from the rear, 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.
a. Find the latest level by checking the IBM Web, FTP, or BBS site.
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 6. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
4. 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.
5. 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 6.
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.
6. From the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, select Load Default Settings.
7. Press Enter to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
8. Select Start Options.
9. Verify that the Primary Startup Sequence is set to the following (if necessary, use the arrow keys to change):
First Startup Device: CD-ROM
Second Startup Device: Diskette Drive 0
Third Startup Device: Hard Disk 0
Fourth Startup Device: Network
10. Press Esc (Escape) to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
11. If you do not have any ISA devices installed in the server, continue with step 17. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
12. Select Plug and Play.
13. Determine the I/O, Memory, direct memory access (DMA), and Interrupt resources that each ISA adapter will require.
14. Select the appropriate resource type and press Enter.
15. 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.
16. Press Esc (Escape) twice to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
17. Select Exit Setup.
18. Select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
4.3 Configuring arrays using the integrated IBM ServeRAID II adapter
1. Insert the IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Diskette into drive A and start the server.
During the initial startup (boot), an error message similar to the following might occur:
- Following drives not responding (oldstate:newstate:ch:bay)
(ONL:DDD:2:1)(ONL:DDD:2:2)
Your server has a configuration error due to above condition(s).
Press F5 - to accept any configuration changes that might occur. The drives will be set up later in this section to match your configuration.
IMPORTANT: Non-Responding drives will be set to DDD, DHS, or EMP state.
2. Select Advanced Functions.
3. Select Init/View/Synchronize Config.
4. Select Initialize Configuration.
5. Confirm the initialization request with a Yes.
6. After initializing, press Esc (Escape) three times to exit to the Main Menu.
7. Select Create/Delete/Copy Log Drive.
8. Select Create Disk Array.
9. Use the arrow keys to select RDY drives for each new array.
10. Press Enter on each highlighted drive to add it to the array. RDY will change to ONL when the drive is added to the array.
11. Press Esc (Escape) twice when finished selecting drives to return to the create/delete/copy log drive menu.
12. Select Define Logical Drive.
13. Select an array on which to define a drive.
14. Specify the RAID level for the new logical drive.
15. Specify the size for the new logical drive and confirm with a Yes.
16. When the message stating that All logical drives must be INITIALIZED after being created appears, press Enter.
17. Confirm the command to initialize the new logical drive with a Yes; then, press any key to continue.
Note: If a RAID-5 logical drive was defined, a message appears stating 'The logical drive that you just created is being synchronized in the background. The logical drive is now ready for data storage'.
18. Press Esc (Escape) to return to the Main Menu.
Note: The server can be restarted (rebooted) during the synchronization process. The ServeRAID II adapter is designed to suspend synchronization during a restart; then, continue after the restart has completed.
19. Select Advanced Functions.
20. Select Backup IPS ServeRAID Config.
21. Verify that the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Diskette is not write-protected.
22. Enter the file name where you want to save the Configuration or press Enter to accept the default; then, select Yes to confirm.
23. Exit the utility. Ignore the message to back up the RAID configuration and confirm with a Yes. Remove the diskette.
