4.0 Detailed installation instructions
4.1 Setting up the hardware for NOS installation
1. Unplug the server.
2. If a tower model, use the lever on the left center of the server to release the side cover; then, remove the cover by pushing it toward the rear of the server.
If a rack-mounted model, remove the top-access panel by loosening the thumbscrew at the back-center of the server; then, pushing the panel toward the rear of the server.
3. For the initial installation, install all microprocessors you plan to use and 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 small computer system interface (SCSI) devices will be used, disconnect them temporarily.)
After the operating system is starting without errors, reinstall the removed adapters and devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.
Note: NetWare v3.2 does not support more than one microprocessor. If you choose to install more than one microprocessor for future support of NetWare v4.11 or NetWare v5, make sure that a voltage regulator module (VRM) is installed in the available VRM slot for the microprocessor (located on the system board near the hard disk drive enclosure fan).
To install the VRM, first release the tab holding the fan and slide the fan partially out of the server to make room. Insert the VRM into the VRM slot according to the instructions that came with the microprocessor. Reinsert the fan after installing the VRM.
4. Reinstall the side panel or top access cover.
5. Plug in the server.
Note: If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, the following instruction will not apply. Refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper set up; then, continue with 4.2 Setting up the BIOS.
