4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions
This section provides complete instructions for OS/2 Warp Server Advanced 4.0 installation.

4.1 Setting Up the Hardware
1. Locate the key lock on the rear of the server and, if necessary, 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.

2. For the initial installation, remove all other 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 running without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.

NOTES:
- If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, use the documentation that accompanied the external enclosure for proper setup; then, continue with '4.2 Setting Up the BIOS'.

- If you purchased a system with a hard disk drive already installed, continue with '4.2 Setting Up the BIOS'.

3. With a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the center cross-member nearest the rear of the machine that fastens the lower drive assembly to the system unit. Remove the entire assembly from the server by pulling it out of the system.

4. 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: The last drive connected to the internal SCSI controller must be terminated or an actively terminated SCSI Cable must be used.

5. 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.

6. Reinsert the drive assembly into the server by reversing the removal instructions from step 4.

7. Attach the last available connector (farthest from the controller) of the SCSI cable to the startup hard disk drive. Attach an available internal power connector to the SCSI hard disk drive.

8. Verify that the IDE cable runs from the integrated IDE controller to the CD-ROM drive located in the upper drive bay.

o During the installation of this device 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 to IBM.

o 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 device driver might result in serious system problems.
