(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware and install process, refer 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 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 PCI expansion slots. Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the four thumbscrews at the four corners of the shuttle and pull the shuttle back, exposing the back of the hot-swap backplanes.
- Unhook the two SCSI cables 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 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 work down.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to operate this server with more than 2 GB of RAM, be sure to install Windows NT Server 3.51 with 2 GB of RAM or less installed in the server. Next, install Windows NT Server 3.51 Service Pack 5 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 "Fourth 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 ôSecond I/O APICö is set to ôDisableö and ôPIC Interrupt Routingö is set to ôDefault.ö
6. Verify that MP Version is set to ô1.4,ö then press Esc. The default is 1.1.
NOTE: To change the setting on either option, highlight it, then press Enter, highlight your new choice, then press Enter again.
7. From the Advanced screen, press the right arrow button twice, then highlight ô Exit Saving Changesö and press Enter twice to exit setup.
8. 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.
Configuring Hard Drives with the Integrated SCSI:
1. If the system is non-array, boot the server, pressing Ctrl+A when prompted. If you have added the PC ServeRAID II adapter into the server, see Appendix A for installation instructions.
2. Select which adapter you wish to configure. NOTE: If you are using both integrated Adaptec disk controller channels, be sure to repeat steps 2 - 8 for both channels.
3. Select "Configure/View Host Adapter Settings."
4. Select "SCSI Device Configuration."
5. For SCSI IDs of hard drives and other bootable devices, set ôSend Start Unit Commandö to ôyes.ö
6. Press Esc 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.

Appendix C
Installing Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5:
1. NT3.51 Service Pack 5 (filename SP5_351I.EXE) must be obtained and expanded onto the Hard disk in a directory of your choosing.
2. Run the file SP5_351I.EXE to expand the Service Pack.
3. Allow the expansion utility to overwrite OEMNADAP.INF.
4. Copy the necessary OEM.INF files to the appropriate directory by typing:
COPY <PATH>\OEM*.INF <PATH>\NTAS\OEM*.INF
where <PATH> is the directory into which you expanded the Service Pack.
5. Run UPDATE.EXE from the expanded service pack.
6. Press Enter at the message screen stating that Setup will install a service pack.
7. Press Enter to restart the server when the installation completes.
NOTE: According to Microsoft Knowledgebase Article ID: Q138713, if you installed the server as a uni-processor server and have run UPTOMP.EXE to add the multi-processor HAL, adding the Service Pack may overwrite the proper NTOSKRNL. You will receive the following error message upon reboot after installing the Service Pack:
System Process - Driver Entry Point Not Found popup
The \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\srv.sys device driver could not locate the entry point RtllsNameLegalDOS8Dot3 in driver NTOSKRNL.EXE?.
The following system events appear in the Event Viewer:
Event ID: 2508
Source: Server
Type: Error
Description: The server service was unable to load the server driver.
Event ID: 7023
Source: Service Control Manager
Type: Error
Description: The Server service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
To resolve this error:
- For a single processor system, copy the NTOSKRNL.EXE file from the Windows NT 3.51Service Pack to the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory.
- For a multi-processor system, copy and rename the NTKRNLMP.EXE (multi-processor kernel) file from the Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack to the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory overwriting the NTOSKRNL.EXE.
