3.0 Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users
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.

1. Extend the server's lateral base supports (feet) by turning them clockwise until they are perpendicular to the sides of the system unit.
2. Set the jumpers on the hard disk drive to SCSI ID 0 with no termination. If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper setup.

NOTE: Termination for the SCSI chain is provided by the SCSI Cable (part number 01K1501, FRU 01K1497). Do not terminate any SCSI devices attached to this SCSI cable.

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 select 'Plug and Play'; then, select the resource type you wish to reserve. Change the resource type from 'Plug and Play' to 'ISA Legacy'.
4. If you are using the Integrated SCSI Controller:

On a separate machine using a standard text editor, edit the CONFIG.SYS file from 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' by adding the line: SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1

Still on a separate machine copy the AIC7870.ADD driver from the A:\OS2 directory of '7800 Family Manager Set Disk 1 of 2' over the existing AIC7870.ADD on the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM'.

You may need to delete some of the existing files on the diskette to make room. Examples of deletable files include SBCD2.ADD, and any of the various AHA****.ADD files. For example, if you are not using an Adaptec 1640 adapter, remove SBCD2.ADD. The files that were deleted in our test configuration were:
AHA164X.ADD
AHA174X.ADD
AIC7770.ADD
AIC7870.ADD //This is the original driver on the diskette
SBCD2.ADD

5. If you are using the PC ServeRAID II Adapter:

On a separate machine using a standard text editor, copy IPSRAID.ADD from the 'PC ServeRAID Device Driver and Utilities Diskette, Version 2.40' onto the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM.' Also add the following lines to the top of CONFIG.SYS on the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM'.
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD

NOTE: If you also plan to use the integrated Adaptec controller:

Still on a separate machine copy the AIC7870.ADD device driver from the A:\OS2 directory of '7800 Family Manager Set for OS/2 and WIN NT, Diskette 1 of 2' over the existing AIC7870.ADD on the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM'.

You might need to delete some of the existing files on the diskette to make room. See earlier note for examples of files to delete.

You must make sure that the AIC7870.ADD device driver appears prior to the IPSRAID.ADD in the CONFIG.SYS or the server will appear to hang after the first restart during the installation.

NOTE: To prevent error messages on diskette startup, you will need to REM out the device drivers in CONFIG.SYS that you erased from the diskette, with the exception of the AIC7870.ADD file.

NOTE: To prevent a problem where the OS/2 installation program keeps removing the AIC7870.ADD device driver during installation, the device driver must be listed TWICE in the CONFIG.SYS file. FAILURE TO DO THIS STEP WILL RESULT IN TRAP 0002 MESSAGES, SYSTEM HANGS, AND TRAP 000D MESSAGES. The format of the statement is:
BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD // no path is needed on BASEDEV statements
BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD

6. Insert the 'Installation Diskette for CD-ROM' into the diskette drive and the 'OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 Advanced SMP' CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have installed a PC ServeRAID II Adapter, when the file copy is complete, the server will beep and display a panel asking you to press Enter to restart or F3 to exit to a command prompt. Press F3 to exit to a command prompt. Copy the IPSRAID.ADD device driver for the PC ServeRAID Adapter II to the C: drive, then remove 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' and restart the server. Failure to copy this device driver file to the hard disk drive might result in reduced machine performance.

7. When the file copy is complete, remove the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' and restart the server.
8. At the 'Installation' screen, under the 'Multimedia Device Support' heading, remove any devices listed.
9. You will receive a warning that 'Default settings will be used for one or more multimedia audio and/or video device'. Removing the device drivers for the multimedia devices that were listed and removed in step 8, corrects this situation. The correct audio and video device drivers will be installed later in the installation process. Click 'OK' to continue.

10. At the 'Installation' screen, under the 'SCSI Adapter Support' heading, remove any devices listed.
11. At the 'System Configuration' screen, click 'OK' or select any other items you wish to configure.
12. Accept the default SVGA video driver and click 'OK'; then, click 'OK' again at the 'System Configuration' screen.

NOTE: If you plan to use the 'Number 9 Virge GX2' device driver that is shipped with the system on the 'OS/2 Video Device Driver for Number 9 Virge GX2 Diskette' (part number 10L9295) to allow higher video resolutions, use the VGA video driver during NOS installation. You can install this new video driver ONLY AFTER the NOS installation is complete and FixPak 32 has has been applied. See Appendix D for full driver installation details.

13. At the 'Configuration' screen, click the bottom check mark for 'Adapter and Protocol Services'. Add any additional network adapters and necessary protocols. If you are using the integrated Ethernet 10/100 controller, select 'Change Adapter', then 'Other Adapter'. Insert the 'IBM Netfinity 3500 Ethernet 10/100 Diskette, Version 2.53' into the diskette drive and change the Path to 'A:\NDIS'. Select 'Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B OS/2 adapter' and under 'Type of LAN', select 'Ethernet' and click 'OK'.
14. Install FixPak 32 or later, MPTS FixPak WR08503, Warp Server 5.0 FixPak IP80503 and Warp Server IP08504. See Appendix B for details.
15. Install the Number 9 Virge GX2 video device driver. See Appendix C for details.
16. Install the 4236 OS/2 Warp Audio device driver. See Appendix D for details.

4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions:

4.1 Setting Up the Hardware:
1. Extend the server's lateral base supports (feet) by turning them clockwise until they are perpendicular to the sides of the system unit.
2. Looking at the rear of the server, unlock the side access panel, pull out on the cover release tab in the middle of the right side panel, and push the panel forward to remove the side access panel.
3. For the initial installation, it is recommended that you install all the microprocessors you plan to use and 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 starting without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.

NOTE: If you have installed the PC ServeRAID II Adapter and plan to use it as the startup device, see Appendix A after completing '4.2 Setting Up the BIOS'.

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 proper setup, then proceed to '4.2 Setting Up the BIOS'.

4. With a flat-head screwdriver, remove the single screw that fastens the lower drive assembly (located toward the front of the server) to the system unit. Remove the entire assembly from the server by tilting it down 1-to-2 inches and pulling it away from the system unit.
5. The startup hard disk drive should be set to SCSI ID 0 (this is the default; no jumpers on the ID pins signifies ID 0). Refer to the hard disk drive documentation for more information on setting the SCSI ID and termination.

NOTE: Termination for the SCSI chain is provided by the SCSI Cable (part number 01K1501, FRU 01K1497). Do not terminate any SCSI devices attached to this SCSI cable.

6. Insert the startup hard disk drive into the bottom bay of the drive assembly circuit-side down and SCSI connector facing the screw slot. Use the screw kit supplied with the hard disk drive to mount it to the assembly.

7. Reinsert the drive assembly into the server by reversing the removal instructions from step 4.
8. Attach the last connector (farthest from the controller) of the SCSI cable (part number 01K1501, FRU 01K1497) to the startup hard disk drive. Attach an available internal power connector to the SCSI hard disk drive.
9. Verify that the IDE cable (part number 01K1474, FRU 01K1475) runs from the integrated IDE controller to the CD-ROM drive located in the upper drive bay.

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.

4.2 Setting Up the BIOS:

A.2 Running the OS/2 Warp Server SMP v4.0 Installation Program Using the PC ServeRAID II Adapter:
1. On a separate machine, copy IPSRAID.ADD from the 'PC ServeRAID Device Driver and Utilities Diskette, Version 2.40' onto the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM'. Using a standard text editor, add the following lines to the top of CONFIG.SYS on the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM.'
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
BASEDEV=IPSRAID.ADD

NOTE: If you also intend to use the integrated Adaptec controller:

Still on a separate machine, copy the 'AIC7870.ADD' driver from the A:\OS2 directory of '7800 Family Manager Set Disk 1 of 2' over the existing AIC7870.ADD driver on the 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM'.

You may need to delete some of the existing files on the diskette to make room. Examples of deletable files include SBCD2.ADD and any of the various AHA****.ADD files. For example, if you are not using an Adaptec 1640 adapter, remove SBCD2.ADD. The files that were deleted in our test configuration were:
AHA164X.ADD
AHA174X.ADD
AIC7770.ADD
AIC7870.ADD //This is the original driver on the diskette
SBCD2.ADD

NOTE: If you are using the integrated SCSI controller and have placed one or more IBM PC ServeRAID or IBM PC ServeRAID II adapters in the server, you must make sure that the AIC7870.ADD driver appears prior to the IPSRAID.ADD in the CONFIG.SYS or the server will appear to hang after the first restart during the installation.

NOTE: To prevent error messages on diskette startup, you will need to REM out the drivers in CONFIG.SYS that you erased from the diskette with the exception of the AIC7870.ADD file.

NOTE: To prevent a problem where the OS/2 installation program keeps removing the AIC7870.ADD driver during installation, the driver must be listed TWICE in the CONFIG.SYS file. FAILURE TO DO THIS STEP WILL RESULT IN TRAP 0002 MESSAGES, SYSTEM HANGS, AND TRAP 000D MESSAGES. The format of the statement is:
BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD // no path is needed on BASEDEV statements
BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD

2. Insert the 'Installation Diskette for CD-ROM' into the diskette drive and the 'OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 Advanced SMP' CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.
3. Insert 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' when prompted.
4. At the Welcome screen, press Enter, and Enter again after reading the Important Licensing Information Screen.
5. Select 'Advanced Installation'.
6. Select '2. Specify your own installation partition'.
7. Press Enter three times, then select 'Create Partition...'. Enter the size of the partition. The startup partition must be on the first logical drive created (either the first physical drive for non-array configurations or the first logical drive on the first RAID array for RAID configurations) and must NOT exceed 2000 MB in size. All other partitions can be up to 64 GB using HPFS386, and 2048 MB for FAT partitions.
8. Select 'Primary Partition' for the first partition. Select 'Extended Logical Drive' for all other partitions.
9. Select 'Create at Start of FreeSpace'.
10. Repeat this until all free space on the drive has been allocated to partitions.
11. Press Tab to change to different logical drives (Disk 1, 2, 3...) and repeat steps 7 through 11 until all logical drives are allocated.
12. Go back to the first logical drive and use the arrow keys to select the partition you want to contain the operating system.
13. Press Enter to bring up FDISK options again and select 'Set installable'.
14. Name the partition and press Enter.
15. Press F3 twice to exit the FDISK program.
16. Reinsert 'Installation Diskette for CD-ROM' into the diskette drive and restart the server.
17. Insert 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' when prompted.
18. At the Welcome screen, press Enter, and press Enter again after reading the 'Important Licensing Information' screen.
19. Select 'Advanced Installation'.
20. Select '1. Accept the drive'.
21. Select HPFS or FAT file system and press Enter to format the installation partition.
22. After formatting, OS/2 will perform an operating system file copy.
23. When the file copy is complete, the server will beep and display a panel asking you to remove the diskette; do not do so. The screen also says to press Enter to restart 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 II Adapter to the C: drive by typing:
COPY A:\IPSRAID.ADD C:

Then, remove 'OS/2 Diskette 1 for CD-ROM' and restart the server. Failure to copy this driver file to the hard disk drive might result in data corruption.

24. Continue installation at step 24 of '4.4 Running the OS/2 Warp Server SMP v4.0 Installation Program Using the Integrated SCSI Controller'.

Follow the instruction contained in the WKICKR.TXT file to create the Corrective Service Facility disks. Label them as:
CSF DISK Diskette 1 (SP DISK 1)
CSF DISK Diskette 2 (SP DISK 2)

B.3 Creating FixPak Diskettes:
Use LOADDSKF.EXE to create the diskettes. For each disk image, place a 2 MB HD (1.44MB formatted) diskette in A:.

Warning: DO NOT use a 1 MB (720 KB formatted) diskette because you might have problems trying to install this FixPak.

For each diskette image in the FixPak, do the following:
- Enter LOADDSKF XR_W032.?DK A: /F (? can be 1 through 9, A through Z).
- Label the diskette as FixPak XR_W032.
- Corrective Service Diskette ? (CSF DISK ?)

NOTE: For diskette images ADK through ZDK (if they exist), use the numbers 10 through 36.
Examples:
XR_W032.ADK = Corrective Service Diskette 10 (CSF DISK 10)
XR_W032.BDK = Corrective Service Diskette 11 (CSF DISK 11)
XR_W032.CDK = Corrective Service Diskette 12 (CSF DISK 12)
XR_W032.DDK = Corrective Service Diskette 13 (CSF DISK 13)
etc.

B.4 The Installation Process:

B.4.1 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 and run CHKDSK by one of the following methods:
- Startup from your Installation and DISK 1 diskettes you used to install OS/2. If your file system is HPFS, put the diskette with CHKDSK and UHPFS.DLL on it in your A: drive before issuing the CHKDSK command.
- Startup from the Utilities disk you created via the 'Create Utility Diskettes' icon in the 'System Setup' folder.
- Startup from a different OS/2 partition.

B.4.2 Installing From A Started OS/2 Partition:
NOTE: You can use a diskette drive other than A: with this method. If your 3.5 inch diskette drive is B:, use B: where A: is mentioned in the following steps (this method only).

1. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 into 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 server, then type 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 type 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 MB and 12 MB of disk space.

6. Click on '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, 'Continue' or '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. 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. Click 'Cancel' and 'Exit' to close the Corrective Service Facility window if necessary.
11. Shut down and restart your server.
If you applied service to the OS/2 partition that you used for system startup, you will see the following during restart. 'The locked file driver is loaded. Processing locked files Processing complete'

The server will do one automatic restart after the Locked File Device Driver has completed.

B.5 Installing MPTS FixPak WR08503:
WARNING: If you are using FixPak 28 or less, before installing the FixPak, ARCHOFF.EXE (located on the ServicePak Tool diskette) must be executed to rename any ARCHIVE logs that have been created by previously installed FixPaks. This FixPak might not install properly if ARCHOFF.EXE is not run prior to starting SERVICE. With the ServicePak Tool diskette in the A drive, type A:ARCHOFF at an OS/2 command prompt to execute the preinstallation program.

WR08503.INF, located on the MPTS Corrective Service diskette, contains installation, and other useful information about this FixPak. Please review before installation of service. The CSF2-B is used for installation of this ServicePak and is considerably different from previous FixPaks. Once downloaded, diskettes can be made in the same manner as the CSF diskettes using LOADDSKF.

To install this FixPak, return to Step 1 of 'B.4.2 Installing From A Started OS/2 Partition' and follow the instructions there.

B.6 Installing LANServer FixPak IP08503:
IP08503.INF, located on the first FixPak diskette, contains installation and other useful information about this FixPak. Please review before installation of service. The CSF2-B is used for installation of this FixPak. README and Installation instructions for DOS LAN Services V5.0 are included on the first DOS LAN Services diskette. Once downloaded, diskettes can be made in the same manner as the CSF diskettes using LOADDSKF.

To install this FixPak, return to Step 1 of 'B.4.2 Installing From A Started OS/2 Partition' and follow the instructions there.

B.7 Installing LANServer FixPak IP08504:
(An excerpt from IP08504.ZIP README.Y2K)
1. To install these SelectPaks, first unzip the IPxnnnn.ZIP file into a temporary directory, where x is the letter for the country and nnnn is the SelectPak number.
When you unzip the .ZIP file, you should get the following files:
README.Y2K This file
IPXnnnn.CMD The installation program for the SelectPak
IP_nnnn.MSG A file used by the installation program
IP_nnnn.SPK The zip file used by the installation program
PREREQ.LVL A file used by the installation program
2. Run the IPXnnnn.CMD file from the temporary directory, where nnnn is the SelectPak number. You can put all the parameters on a command line, or if you leave out the parameters, it will prompt you for them. You can also type 'IPXnnnn ?' to get information about the required parameters. The parameters are as follows.
/L: for the log file (defaults to \OS2\INSTALL\IP_nnnn.LOG)
/S: for the source path of your ZIP file (defaults to the current directory)
/T: for the target drive for your update (the drive with your \IBMLAN directory)
/D: for the RIPL drive for your update (0 = RIPL not installed)
/B: for the drive that contains your operating system (only needed if you do not specify a log file)
/K: to indicate your backup preference (0 = NO, 1 = backup to \IBMLAN\NETPROG)
/V: to indicate your verification preference (0 = doesn't verify, null = prompt for verify, 1 = verifies OK)

CAUTION: Specifying /V:0 indicates that you did not accept the specified input and your input will be erased, then you will be prompted for input. Leaving /V: null or not specifying this parameter will allow you to verify input. When /V:1 is entered from the command line no verification takes place. Use of /V:1 is intended for unattended installations.

For example, if you need to install IP08266, you could use the following commands:
pkunzip2 -d ip08266.zip c:\temp
cd temp
ipx8266.cmd /S:c:\temp /B:c /T:c /K:1

NOTE: If you have more than one drive with an IBMLAN directory that needs to be updated, you must run the command file for the SelectPak once for each drive to be updated.

B.8 Backout Instructions:
If you need to backout these fixes, you can do this only if you have chosen to backup the files during the installation (that is,
you answered 'Yes' to the backup question).

If you have chosen to back up the files, the old files will be in the \IBMLAN\NETPROG directory with a .P2K extension. Copy the .P2K files in this directory (LSERROR.P2K, LSAUDIT.P2K, and NET.P2K) to .EXE files with the same name. Backout is complete.

For example, if you ran the installation from C:\TEMP and your IBMLAN directory is on D:, you would use the following commands:
d:
cd ibmlan\netprog
copy lserror.p2k lserror.exe
copy lsaudit.p2k lsaudit.exe
copy net.p2k net.exe

Appendix C: Installing OS/2 Video Device Driver for Number 9 Virge GX2
(An excerpt from 'OS/2 Video Driver for Number 9 Virge GX2 Diskette' README.TXT)
To install the display driver from diskette, do the following:
1. If your server is not in VGA mode, set the display to VGA mode.
2. Insert the S3 Virge display driver diskette, with the label 'S3 DRV1', into drive A (or any other diskette drive).
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. Then press Enter. Setup will then identify your chip set. When prompted to do so, press Enter to continue.
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 in this device driver version.

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 installation is complete, shut down your server, remove the diskette, and restart your computer.
7. When the server 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 (for OS/2 3.0) or System Properties (for OS/2 4.0) appears, select the Screen tab.
8. If your monitor has been detected as Plug-and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 9.

If your monitor has NOT been detected as Plug-and-Play (DDC) compatible, on page 2 of 'Screen Tab', select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select 'Default'.

Restart your computer to ensure all refresh rate options are available.

9. When the server has restarted:
a. Open the 'System' object and select page 1 of Screen Tab, as in step 7.
b. Select the desired screen resolution and a screen refresh rate.
c. Close the Settings notebook or System Properties.
d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer.

NOTES:
o If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and restart. This will set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can then be selected using the procedure described above.
o 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 to IBM.
o The display driver should be reinstalled with any changes in video hardware configuration. Not re-installing the driver might result in serious system problems.
o When starting a WIN-OS/2 session it is recommended that the user launch the session via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the 'Command Prompts' Folder within the 'OS/2 System' icon.
