3.0 Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users
1. Check the voltage switch where applicable (some models are auto-sensing).
2. Place the original NT Server 4.0 CD into the drive and power-on the server. The server will automatically start (boot) using the original CD-ROM, but it will not start using copies of the original. If the server does not start, verify that the Bootable CD-ROM option is set up In the ServeRAID Configuration Utility.
3. Press F6 when the message Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration appears. Install the IBM PC ServeRAID driver from the IBM PC ServeRAID Drivers and Utilities Diskette.
4. Use the Ethernet drivers that are shipped with the server for the on-board Ethernet 100/10 controller. Use Ethernet Support Diskette. The path to the driver is A:\winnt351.
IMPORTANT: At the AMD PCNET PCI Ethernet Adapter v3.10i screen, just select Continue. DO NOT make any selections in this window. Simply accept the defaults and continue.
5. Do not install any video mode except VGA during the initial installation.
6. If you are installing primary and secondary microprocessors in your server, install both microprocessors at this time.
NOTE: If you install the secondary microprocessor after you install Windows NT Server 4.0, you must reinstall the operating system.
7. Install Microsoft's NT Service Pack 3. See Appendix A.
8. Install the S3 Trio 64V+ Video Drivers. See Appendix B.
4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions
This section provides complete instructions for Windows NT Server 4.0 installation.
4.1 Setting Up the Hardware for NOS Installation
1. If your model is shipped with a voltage switch next to the power supply at the back of the server, please verify that it is set to the appropriate voltage for your location. If there is no voltage switch next to the power supply, your server has an auto-sensing voltage system.
2. Remove the power cord from the power supply.
3. Looking at the server from the rear, loosen the 3 thumbscrews on the right side of the server and remove the side access panel.
4. For the initial installation, you must install all the microprocessors that you plan to use and it is recommended that you should remove all other 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, just disconnect them temporarily.) After the operating system is starting (booting) without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies 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 proper setup, then proceed to Section 4.2 Setting Up the BIOS.
5. Verify that the SCSI cable (part number 76H3452) runs from the on-board RAID controller to the top of the hot-swap backplane, and that there is a second SCSI cable (part number 76H3454) running from the bottom of the hot-swap backplane to the CD-ROM.
6. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning with the top bay and proceeding downward.
7. Verify that the SCSI cable (part number 60H9316) runs from either the on-board RAID controller or the ServeRAID adapter to the CD-ROM. After all drives have been installed, close the cover and plug in the power cable.
4.2 Setting Up the BIOS
1. Power on the server and when prompted on the screen, press F1 to enter Configuration/Diagnostics.
2. Press Enter to select Configuration/Setup Utility.
3. Go to the Load Default Settings selection and press Enter twice.
4. Select Date and Time and verify the settings; then, press Escape to return to the main menu.
5. If you are using the on-board RAID controller to start up, you will need to select Start Options and verify that the First Startup Device is set to Diskette Drive 0, and the Second Startup Device is set to Hard Disk or Hard Disk 0. If Hard Disk or Hard Disk 0 do not appear in the window, then the on-board RAID controller does not recognize your hard disk drives. Go back to the Setting Up the Hardware section to verify that the SCSI drive is configured properly. After the SCSI drive is configured, press Escape to return to the main menu.
NOTE: If you are using a startable CD-ROM, the system will auto-detect the CD-ROM when it is placed in the drive and the server is started. If you do not have the startable CD-ROM in the server when the server is started, the server will not recognize the CD-ROM and will use the startup (boot) order you have set in step 5.
6. If any ISA devices are installed (or will be installed) that need IRQs (or other system resources such as I/O ports or memory) reserved, choose Plug and Play and then the desired resource type you wish to reserve. Change the desired resource from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy. From the Plug and Play window, press Escape twice and then move to Save Settings and press Enter twice. Move to Exit Setup and press Enter.
7. Press Escape and then press Enter to select Yes, exit the Setup Utility.
8. The server will restart. If you see the Virus Warning message, select Change is expected. If you receive a 162 Configuration Change has Occurred message during POST, press Enter to select Continue, then press Enter again.
9. At the Diagnostic/Setup Utility window, press Escape; then, press Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
10. If you see an error message I9990305, it means you don't have an operating system installed.
4.3 Configuring Arrays Using the PC ServeRAID II Adapter
1. Put the PC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette, Version 2.40 in the diskette drive and restart the server.
2. Upon initial startup, an error message similar to the following might be encountered: ' - 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 - Update adapter configuration to exclude NON-RESPONDING drives. WARNING:NON-RESPONDING drives will be set to DDD, DHS, or EMP state. '
Press F5 to accept any configuration changes that might occur. The drives will be set up later in this section to match your configuration.
