4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions
4.1 Setting Up the Hardware for NOS Installation
1. Looking at the rear of the server, loosen the two thumbscrews on the top back of the server and remove the top access panel by moving it toward the rear of the server.
2. For the initial installation, 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, disconnect them temporarily. After the operating system is starting (booting) without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure streamlines the installation 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.
4. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and proceeding downward.
