(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and install process, jump to Appendix B)
Setting Up the Hardware:
1. Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the two thumb screws at the top of the system and remove the top 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 a time. This procedure streamlines the install process.
3.
If the system is non-array:
- Looking at the rear of the system, verify that the SCSI cables (part number 01K6525) run from the on-board Adaptec controllers, located near the top right corner of the system board, to the top of the hot-swap backplanes.
If you have installed a PC ServeRAID II Adapter:
- Verify that the PC ServeRAID II Adapter is firmly in one of the systemÆs primary PCI expansion slots (P1 - P4). Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the four thumb screws at the four corners of the shuttle and pull the shuttle out, exposing the back of the hot-swap backplanes.
- Unhook the two SCSI cables (part number 01K6525) from the onboard Adaptec controllers and reattach them to the first two connectors on the PC ServeRAID II adapter.
4. Return the shuttle to its original position and tighten the four thumb screws.
5. Install a supported network adapter into one of the available ISA, EISA or, PCI expansion slots and properly connect its external port to a network cable.
6. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top of a backplane and proceeding downward.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to operate this server with more than 2 GB of RAM, be sure to install Windows NT Server 4.0 with 2 GB of RAM or less installed in the server. Next, install Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 3 according to the instructions that follow, then add the additional RAM to the server.
Setting Up the BIOS:
1. Power on the system and press <F1> to enter SETUP.
2. Under the Main heading, verify the time and date settings.
3. Highlight Boot Options and verify that ôFirst Boot Deviceö is ôCD-ROM,ö ôSecond Boot Deviceö is ôFloppy,ö ôThird Boot Deviceö is ôHard Disk,ö and
ôFourth Boot Deviceö is ôDisabled,ö or one of the other available settings if you desire a fourth boot option. Next press Esc to return to the previous screen.
4. Press the right arrow key to bring up the Advanced screen. Highlight ôAdvanced Chipset Configurationö and press Enter.
5. Verify that MP Version is set to ô1.4,ö then press Esc. The default is 1.1. To change the setting on either option, highlight it, then press Enter, highlight your new choice, then press Enter again.
6. From the Advanced screen, press the right arrow button twice, then highlight ô Exit Saving Changesö and press Enter twice to exit setup.
7. If you have installed any additional supported ISA or EISA adapters you wish to configure into the systemÆs hardware, see Appendix D for further instructions on using the ôIBM Netfinity 7000 System CD-ROMö to configure those devices.
NOTE: If you have added the PC ServeRAID II adapter into the server, see Appendix A for hard disk configuration and operating system installation instructions.
Configuring Hard Drives with the Integrated SCSI:
1. If the system is non-array, boot the server, pressing Ctrl+A when prompted.
2. Select which adapter you wish to configure.
NOTE: If you are using both integrated Adaptec disk controllers, be sure to repeat steps 2 - 8 for both channels.
3. Select "Configure/View Host Adapter Settings."
4. Select "SCSI Device Configuration."
5. For Device IDs of hard drives and other bootable devices, set ôSend Start Unit Commandö to ôyesö.
6. Press <ESCAPE> twice, confirming changes made.
7. Select "SCSI Disk Utilities."
8. Format each hard drive individually by pressing Enter while it is highlighted, selecting ôFormat Diskö, then ôYesö twice. Formatting may take some time.
9. When all formatting completes, exit the SCSISelect utility.
Running the Windows NT Server 4.0 Installation Program Using the Integrated SCSI Controller:

5.
If the system is non-array:
- Looking at the rear of the system, verify that the SCSI cables (part number 01K6525 ) that run from the on-board Adaptec controllers, located near the top right corner of the system board, to the top of the hot-swap backplanes and are securely fastened.
If you have installed a PC ServeRAID II Adapter:
- Verify that the PC ServeRAID II Adapter is firmly in one of the systemÆs primary PCI expansion slots (P1 - P4).
- Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the four thumb screws at the four corners of shuttle and pull it back, exposing the back of the hot-swap backplanes.
- Unhook the two SCSI cables (part number 01K6525) and reattach them to the first two connectors on the PC ServeRAID II adapter.
- Return the shuttle to its original position and tighten the four thumb crews.
6. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top of a backplane and proceeding downward.
7. Configure any arrays with the ôPC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version ö if you are using the PC ServeRAID II Adapter.
8. Install a supported network adapter into one of the available PCI expansion slots and properly connect its external port to a network cable.
9. Press <F6> when the message "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" appears. If you have installed the PC ServeRAID II Adapter, Install the IBM PC ServeRAID driver off of the "IBM PC ServeRAID Drivers and Utilities Diskette." If you have enabled the onboard Adaptec controllers, Windows NT will autodetect and install a driver for them. For the latest driver versions go to IBM US web site: http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html
10. Install Microsoft NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.
11. If you are using the onboard Adaptec Controllers, you must update your driver using the 7800 Manager Family Driver Diskette. The version that NT autodetects and installs is a low performance backlevel driver, and will cause problems if used for extended periods of time.
