4.0 Detailed installation instructions
4.1 Setting up the hardware for NOS installation
1. Disconnect the server power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. If you have a tower model server, 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 you have a rack model server, remove the top-access panel by loosening the thumbscrew at the back-center of the server and then pushing the panel toward the rear of the server.
3. For the initial installation, install all the microprocessors that you plan to use and remove all adapters and devices that are not required to get the base operating system installed. (For example, if you are installing multiple network adapters, only install one at this time. If a tape drive or external SCSI devices will be used, disconnect them temporarily.)
After the operating system starts without errors, reinstall the removed adapters and devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.
Note: When installing an additional microprocessor, be sure that a voltage regulator module (VRM) is installed in the available VRM slot (located on the system board near the hard disk drive enclosure fan).
To install the VRM, first release the tab that holds 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.
3. Reinstall the side panel or top-access cover.
4. Plug the server power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Note: If you plan to use an external direct access storage device (DASD) enclosure, the following instruction will not apply. Refer to the documentation that comes with the external enclosure for proper set up; then, continue with 4.2 Setting up the BIOS.
5. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays.
For tower model servers, begin with the left-most bay and continue to the right.
For rack model servers, begin with the top bay and continue downward.
4.2 Setting up the BIOS
