(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and install process, jump to Appendix A)

Setting Up the Hardware:
1. Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the 3 thumb screws on the right of the system and remove the side 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 the time. This procedure streamlines the install 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, and that there is a second SCSI cable (part number 76H3454) running from the bottom of the hot-swap backplane to the CD-ROM.
4. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and proceeding downward.

Setting Up the BIOS:
1. Power on the system and press F1 to enter ôConfiguration/Diagnosticsö.
2. Press Enter to select ôConfiguration/Setup Utilityö.
3. Select ôDate and Timeö and verify the settings. Then press Esc to return to the main menu.
4. Select 'Start Options' and verify that the 'First Startup Device' is set to 'Diskette Drive 0' and the 'Second Startup Device' is set to 'Hard Disk 0'. Press Esc to return to the main menu.
5. If any ISA devices are installed (or will be installed) that need IRQÆs (or other system resources such as I/O ports or memory) reserved, choose ôPlug and Playö and then the desired resource type you wish to reserve. Change the desired resource from ôPlug and Playö to ôISA Legacy.ö From the ôPlug and Playö window, press Esc and select ôSave Settings.ö Press Enter and then select ôExit Setup.ö Press Esc and Enter to select ôYes, save and exit the Setup Utility.ö
6. The server will reboot. If you receive a ô162 Configuration Change has Occurredö message during POST, press Enter to select ôContinueö, then Enter again. At the ôDiagnostic/Setup Utilityö window, press Esc and then Enter to select ôYes, save and exit the Setup Utility.ö

Configuring Arrays Using the PC ServeRAID II:
1. Upon initial boot, an error message similar to the following may be encountered:





  ô   - Following drives not responding (oldstate:newstate:ch:bay)

         (ONL:DDD:2:1)(ONL:DDD:2:2)

	- Identifiers for the following drives do not match configuration ...ö

Press F10 - Exit without change and boot to the ôPC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version 2.23ö selecting ôAdvanced Functionsö, then "Init/View/Synchronize Configö and finally ôInitialize Configuration.ö Confirm initialization request with a Yes.
2. After initializing, exit to the main menu and select ôCreate/Delete/Copy Log Drive.ö
3. Select ôCreate Disk Array.ö
4. Use the arrow keys to select ôRDYö drives for each new array. Press Enter on each highlighted drive to add it to the array.
5. Press Esc when finished selecting drives.
6. Select ôDefine Logical Drive.ö
7. Select an array to define a drive on.
8. Specify the raid level for the new logical drive.
9. Specify size for the new logical drive, and confirm with a Yes.
10. A message stating that ôAll logical drives must be INITIALIZED after being createdö pops up, press Enter. Confirm command to initialize the new logical drive with a Yes. If a RAID-5 logical drive was defined, a message stating that ôAll RAID-5 logical drives must be SYNCHRONIZED after
initializationö pops up. Confirm synchronization of the new logical drive with a Yes. The synchronization process may take several hours to complete per logical drive.
11. After synchronization, Esc to the main menu. Choose ôAdvanced Functionsö, and then "backup IPS ServeRAID Config.ö
12. Verify that the ôPC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version 2.23Aö is not write-protected.
13. Enter the file name you wish to save the Config to, or press Enter to accept the default, then Yes to confirm.
14. Exit the utility, ignoring the message to back up the RAID configuration, again confirming with a Yes.
15. Install DOS. Be sure to create a DOS partition under 2 GB in size.
16. After installing DOS reboot the server. Ignore the Virus Warning and select Change is expected.
17. Insert PC ServeRAID Device Driver and Utilities Diskette. Change to the DOS directory and type: UINSTALL
18. Accept all the defaults for the installation program by pressing Enter 4 times.
19. Press Enter At the Warning that the LASTDRIVE= statement in CONFIG.SYSmay need to be altered. You may wish to review your config.sys after UINSTALL completes.
20. Press Enter at the Warning that the system will need to reboot for changes to take effect, then press F3 to exit UINSTALL utility Remove the PC ServeRAID Device Driver and Utilities Diskette.
21. Using a standard text editor, determine if the following lines are contained within the CONFIG.SYS on C:. If they are, type REM at the beginning of them:

DOS=HIGH
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE

NOTE: The default drive letter for the CD-ROM drive is D:. This letter will be used in all of the following examples. To change this value, edit the "C:\MSCDEX /D:ASPICD0 /M:12 /L:Dö line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT replacing the ôDö in ô/L:Dö with the appropriate drive letter.

Running the NetWare 4.11 Installation Program Using the PC ServeRAID II:

Appendix B
Installing IntranetWare Support Pack v4.0:
(an excerpt from IWSP4.TXT)
To install the IntranetWare Support Pack, complete these steps:

1. To explode the file, type (filename) Enter. Explode the file on the serverÆs volume SYS:, on another server volume, or on a local client that is using RCONSOLE to run the installation.

NOTE: This file contains directory paths that could exceed the DOS limits. The file must be extracted in a root level directory on your local drive or on a
NetWare volume which accepts longer paths.

2. At the server console prompt, type: LOAD INSTALL Press Enter.
3. Select "Product Options".
4. Select "Install a Product Not Listed".
5. Depending on where the IntranetWare Support Pack files are located, complete one of the following steps:

- From the local volume SYS:, press F3 and specify the path, including the volume name (e.g., SYS:\(directory name).
- From a different server on the network, press F3 and specify the full path including the server name (e.g., Server_Name\VOL1:\directory name). This step prompts for a login name and password for the other server.
- From a local drive on a client using RCONSOLE, press F4.

6. Press Enter.
7. Press F10 to accept the marked options and continue.
8. After the files finish copying, the IntranetWare Support Pack installation is complete.

NOTE: Newer files already existing on the server will NOT be overwritten.

9. Please review the .NCF files for accuracy, then bring down the server and restart it to complete the installation of the IntranetWare Support Pack.
10. Press Enter to end.
