(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and install process, jump to Appendix A)
Setting Up the Hardware:
1. Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the 3 thumb screws on the right of the system and remove the side access panel.
2. For the initial install, 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, 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 booting without errors, add these devices one at the time. This procedure streamlines the install process.
3. 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.
4. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and proceeding downward.
IMPORTANT NOTE: OS/2 currently only supports 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.
Setting Up the BIOS:
1. Power on the system and press F1 to enter Configuration/Diagnostics.
2. Press Enter to select Configuration/Setup Utility.
3. Select Date and Time and verify the settings. Then press Esc to return to the main menu.
4. 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 0. Press Esc to return to the main menu.
5. 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 Esc and select Save Settings. Press Enter and then select Exit Setup. Press Esc and Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
6. The server will reboot (If you receive a 162 Configuration Change has Occurred message during post, press Enter to select Continue, then Enter again. At the Diagnostic/Setup Utility window, press Esc and then Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility).
Configuring Arrays Using the PC ServeRAID II Adapter:

8. Specify the raid level for the new logical drive.
9. Specify size for the new logical drive (The maximum size for a logical drive under OS/2 Warp Server 4 Advanced is 45 GB), and confirm with a Yes.
10. A message stating that All logical drives must be INITIALIZED after being created pops up press Enter. Confirm command to initialize the new logical drive with a Yes. If a RAID-5 logical drive was defined, a message stating that All RAID-5 logical drives must be SYNCHRONIZED after
initialization pops up. Confirm synchronization of the new logical drive with a Yes. The synchronization process may take several hours to complete per logical drive.
11. After synchronization, Esc to the main menu. Choose Advanced Functions, and then backup IPS ServeRAID Config.
12. Verify that the PC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version 2.23 is not write-protected.
13. Enter the file name you wish to save the Config to, or press Enter to accept the default, then Yes to confirm.
14. Exit the utility, ignoring the message to back up the RAID configuration, again confirming with a Yes.

Installation Process
Before Installation
Before installing any FixPak, run CHKDSK /F against all drives on your system to correct any file system errors that might be present. You cannot do this while OS/2 is active. You must shut down and run CHKDSK by one of the following methods:
- Boot 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.
- Boot from the Utilities disk you created via the Create Utility Diskettes icon in the System Setup folder.
- Boot from a different OS/2 partition.
Install From Booted 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 select the SERVICE.EXE Icon to start the install.
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 enter the path to the ARCHIVE directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\ARCHIVE).
Note: 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 enter the path to the BACKUP directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\BACKUP).
Note: 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 Reboot. 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 reboot after you shut down the system.
9. Select NO for a redisplay of the Product List after the first part of the FixPak application process has completed if this message is displayed.
10. Select Cancel and Exit to close the Corrective Service Facility window if necessary.
11. Shut down and reboot your system.
You will see the following during reboot of the system if you applied service to the OS/2 partition you were booted from:
The locked file driver is loaded.
Processing locked files
Processing complete
The system will do one automatic reboot after the Locked File Device Driver has completed.
Installing MPTS WR08415 FixPak:
Note: This FixPak is a refresh of the MPTS LAN Adapter and Protocol Support program and is intended to replace (upgrade) only LICENSED instances of MPTS. This version of MPTS is installed using the MPTS Program Product Installation Aid, MPTS.EXE. There is NO selective install of MPTS sub-components. All components of MPTS are installed, including all of the MAC drivers. Please refer to the MPTS Configuration Guide on Diskette 6 for complete Installation and Configuration details.
1. Download the diskettes from the above mentioned FTP.

Installing the S3 TRIO 64V+ Device Driver:
(an excerpt from README.TXT off of OS/2 Device Driver for S3 TRIO 64V+ Diskette (part number 4306788).
1. Reboot the server in VGA mode. If the server was not installed in VGA mode, this can be accomplished by pressing ALT+F1 when the OS/2 logo appears in the upper left hand corner of the monitor during boot. From the Recovery Choices screen, press V to reset primary video display to VGA and reboot.
2. Insert OS/2 Device Driver for S3 TRIO 64V+ Diskette (part number 4306788). into drive A (or any other diskette drive). In the following sequence the A drive is assumed.
3. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.
4. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive:
A:SETUP where A: is the diskette drive which contains the device driver installation diskette. Then press Enter. Due to the limitations with a single pass installation. A dialog box may come up during installation with the message, The installed adapter does not support the selected display driver. Do you wish to continue?. Please continue the installation by selecting the Yes button.
5. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type choice is preselected. Select OK. Do not select Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program since this method of setting refresh rates is not supported anymore.
Note: DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. If the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. This process can take several seconds and will black-out the screen.
6. When the Source Directory pop-up window appears, insert the prompted graphics-accelerator driver diskettes into drive A. At this point the source directory must specify the drive containing the installation diskette (e.g. A:). If necessary change the source directory, then select Install.
7. When the installation is complete, shut down your system, remove the diskette, and restart your computer.
8. When the system has restarted:
a. Open the OS/2 System folder.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open the System object.
d. When the Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab.
If your monitor has been detected as Plug and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 10.
9. On Screen page 2, select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select Default. It might be necessary to restart your computer to have all refresh rate options available.
10. When the system has restarted:
a. Open the System object and select Screen page 1, as in step 8.
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 \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and reboot. 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 OS/2\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
