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:
IMPORTANT: OS/2 currently supports only one CD-ROM device installed in the server during NOS installation. Additional CD-ROM devices can be installed into the server AFTER completion of the NOS installation (Refer to APAR PJ24628 for more information). Verify that there is only one CD-ROM device in the server before continuing.
1. Check the voltage switch where applicable (some models are auto-sensing).
2. Set the jumpers on the hard disk drive so it is set to SCSI ID 0 and active termination is enabled. If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for correct setup.
3. 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, go into the BIOS settings and 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.
4. On a separate machine, copy IPSRAID.ADD from the PC ServeRAID Device Driver and Utilities diskette onto the OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM diskette. Using a standard text editor, add the following lines to the top of CONFIG.SYS on the OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM diskette.
set copyfromfloppy=1
basedev=ipsraid.add
5. After formatting, OS/2 will perform an operating system file copy. When the file copy is complete the server will beep and display a panel asking you to press Enter to restart (reboot) or F3 to exit to a command prompt. Press F3 to exit to a command prompt. Copy the IPSRAID.ADD driver for the PC ServeRAID Adapter II to the C drive, then remove OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM and restart (reboot) the server. Failure to copy this driver file to the hard disk drive might result in data corruption.
6. Accept the default SVGA video driver and select OK, then select OK again at System Configuration panel.
NOTE: If you plan to allow higher video resolutions by using the S3 TRIO 64V+ device driver that shipped with the server on the OS/2 Device Drivers for S3 TRIO 64V+ diskette, DO NOT use this driver during NOS installation; use the VGA video driver during NOS installation. You can install this new video driver only AFTER the NOS installation is complete. Review Appendix B for full driver installation details.
7. At the Configuration panel, select the bottom check mark for Adapter and Protocol Services. Add any additional network adapters and necessary protocols. If you are using the integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter, select Change Adapter, then Other Adapter. Insert Ethernet Support Diskette into the diskette drive and select OK. Select AMD PCNet Family Ethernet Adapter. Under Type of LAN select Ethernet and select OK.
8. Install FixPak 32 (or later), MPTS FixPak WR08504, and LAN Server FixPak IP080506. See Appendix A for details.
4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions
4.1 Setting Up the Hardware
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 at the back of the server, 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 of the server and remove the side access panel.
4. For the initial installation, it is recommended that you remove all adapters and devices that are not required to get the base operating system installed. (For example, if installing multiple network adapters, install only one at this time. If a tape drive or external SCSI devices will be used, just disconnect it temporarily). The installation instructions will cover only the on-board Ethernet adapter. After the operating system is starting 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 correct setup, then proceed to 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 drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at 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.
8. After all drives have been installed, close the cover and plug in the power cable.
NOTE: OS/2 currently supports only one CD-ROM device installed in the server during NOS installation. Additional CD-ROM devices can be installed into the server AFTER Completion of the NOS installation (Refer to APAR PJ24628 for more information). Verify that there is only one CD-ROM device in the server before continuing.
4.2 Setting Up the BIOS
1. Power on the server and when prompted on the panel, press F1 to enter Configuration/Diagnostics.

3. Select Date and Time and verify the settings. Then press Escape to return to the main menu.
4. Go to Load Default Settings and press Enter twice.
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 drives. Go back to the Setting Up the Hardware section to verify that the SCSI drive is configured correctly. After correct configuration, press Escape to return to the main menu.
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

A.2 Installing FixPak 32
A.2.1 Before Installation
Before installing any FixPak, run CHKDSK /F against all drives on your server to correct any file system errors that might be present. You cannot do this while OS/2 is active. You must shut down the system and run CHKDSK by one of the following methods:
- Start from your Installation and DISK 1 diskettes you used to install OS/2 with. If your file system is HPFS, then put the diskette with CHKDSK and UHPFS.DLL on it in your A drive before issuing the CHKDSK command.
- Start from the Utilities disk you created via the Create Utility Diskettes icon in the System Setup folder.
- Start from a different OS/2 partition.
A.2.2 Installing From a Startup OS/2 Partition
NOTE: You can use a diskette drive other than A with this method. If your 3.5" diskette drive is B, use B where A is mentioned in the following steps (this method only).
1. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A.
2. Open an OS/2 window or full-screen session.
3. Type A:\SERVICE and press the Enter key.
NOTE: You could also use the Drives object for A and double click on the SERVICE.EXE Icon to start the installation.
4. Follow the displayed instructions. When prompted to insert Corrective Service Diskette 1 (not CSF DISK Diskette 1), place FixPak XR_W032 Corrective Service Diskette 1 in drive A. Repeat for the rest of the FixPak disks when requested to do so.
NOTE: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases, it has taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to complete.
5. If this is the first OS/2 Warp FixPak you have applied to this system, then type the path to the ARCHIVE directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\ARCHIVE) and press Enter.
NOTES:
This ARCHIVE directory is not related to the ARCHIVES directory built into OS/2 Warp 3.0. Please specify a different path. You must specify a different ARCHIVE directory for each product to be serviced. If this is not the first OS/2 Warp FixPak, then type the path to the BACKUP directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\BACKUP) and press Enter.
You must specify a different BACKUP directory for each product to be serviced.
For either case, make sure there is sufficient space available on the drive you specify. Even though these files are kept in
compressed (PACK2) format, they require between 7 and 12 MB of disk space.
6. Select OK.
7. You will see an Application in use dialog box showing a list of locked files that cannot be serviced while the system is running. You are given two choices, to Continue or to Reboot (restart). Select Continue.
8. During the installation process you might see messages about Archiving, Updating, and Deferring service.
Archiving saves a compressed copy of the original file in the ARCHIVE or BACKUP path you specified.
Updating means the original files are replaced with the new ones from this FixPak.
Deferring service means the file to be updated is currently in use by the system and cannot be updated. The new files from
the FixPak are placed in unpacked format in the \IBMCSFLK\FIX directory on the drive with the most free space. They are
processed by the locked file device driver during restart after you shut down the system.
9. After the first part of the FixPak application process is completed, select No if a message is displayed about a redisplay
of the Product List.
10. Select Cancel and Exit to close the Corrective Service Facility window if necessary.
11. Shut down and restart your system.
You will see the following during restart of the system if you applied service to the OS/2 partition you were started from.
The locked file driver is loaded.
Processing locked files
Processing complete
The system will do one automatic restart after the Locked File Device Driver has completed.
A.3 Installing MPTS FixPak WR08504
This FixPak is installed using the INSTALL.CMD file. Once downloaded, diskettes can be made in the same manner as the CSF diskettes using LOADDSKF (see A.1.3 Creating FixPak Diskettes).

10. It might be necessary to restart your computer to have all refresh rate options available.
11. When the system has restarted:
a. Open the System object and select Screen page 1, as in step 9.
b. Select a screen resolution and a screen refresh rate.
c. Close the Settings notebook.
d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer.
NOTES:
If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete the \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and restart. This will
set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can now be selected using the procedure described above.
During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the OS2\INSTALL directory.
These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem.
If the video memory size is changed after the device driver is installed, the device driver must be reinstalled in order for the system to recognize the change. Not reinstalling the driver might result in serious system problems.
When starting a Windows session from a DOS command line, use the WINOS2 command rather than the WIN command. Additionally, you must modify the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Place the following line anywhere after the @ECHO.OFF line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT:
COPY C:\WINDOWS\WINOS2.COM C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM
