(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with Appendix B.)
Setting Up the Hardware
1. Extend the systems 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 system, 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 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 install process.
Note: If you have installed the PC ServeRAID II Adapter and intend to use it as the startup device, see Appendix A after completing Setting Up the BIOS.
Note: If you intend 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 Setting Up the BIOS.
4. With a flat-head screw driver, remove the single screw that fastens the lower drive assembly (located toward the front of the system) 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 3.
8. Attach the last connector (farthest from the controller) of the SCSI cable (part nmber 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.
Setting Up the BIOS
1. Power on the system and press F1 to enter Configuration/Setup.
2. Select Date and Time and verify the settings; then, press Escape to return to the main menu.
3. Select Start Options; then, select Startup Sequence and verify that:
The First Startup Device is set to Diskette Drive 0.
The Second Startup Device is set to CD-ROM.
The Third Startup Device is set to Hard Disk 0.
Press Escape twice to return to the main menu.
4. 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 ISA Legacy Resources and then the desired resource type you wish to reserve. Change the desired resource from Available to ISA Resource.
5. From the ISA Legacy Resources window, press Escape and select Save Settings. Press Enter and then select Exit Setup. Press Escape and press Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
6. The server will restart. If you receive a 162 Configuration Change has Occurred message during POST, press Enter to select Continue; then, press Enter again. At the Diagnostic/Setup Utility window, press Escape and then press Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
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 Using the Integrated SCSI Controller:
1. Start (boot) the server, by pressing Ctrl+A when prompted.
2. Select which adapter you wish to configure.
Note: If you are using both channels of the integrated Adaptec disk controller, be sure to repeat steps 2 through 8 for both channels.
3. Select Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.
4. Select SCSI Device Configuration.
5. For Device IDs of hard disk drives and other startable (bootable) devices, set Send Start Unit Command to yes.
6. Press Escape.
7. Press Escape twice, confirming changes made. Select SCSI Disk Utilities.
8. Format each hard disk drive individually by pressing Enter while it is highlighted, selecting Format Disk; then, selecting Yes twice. Formatting may take some time.
9. When all formatting completes, exit the SCSISelect utility.
Running the Windows NT 3.51 Installation Program Using the Integrated SCSI Controller
