for Experienced Users'. If not, continue with '4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions'.
3.0 Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users
1. If you plan to use the installed the ServeRAID II Adapter as the startup device and also plan to use an external DASD enclosure, refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper setup.
2. 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' and then the desired resource type you want to reserve. Change the desired resource from 'Plug and Play' to 'ISA Legacy'.
Note: IBM recommends that IRQ 15 be set to 'ISA Legacy' because of how Novell NetWare handles interrupts.
3. Install DOS using a DOS partition between 50MB and 2GB.
4. Install the IDE CD-ROM device driver from the IDE CD-ROM support package diskette.
5. Install the 'IBM PC ServeRAID' device driver using the 'IBM ServeRAID and ServeRAID II Device Driver Diskette'.
6. Use the 'IBM Netfinity PCNet Ethernet Controller Device Driver' diskette for the integrated Ethernet 10/100 controller.
7. Install IntranetWare Support Pack, v5.0b (IWSP5B.EXE). Be sure to install ODI v3.31 support with the support pack. It is a minimum requirement for both the IBM Netfinity PCNet Ethernet Controller and IBM Hot Plug PCI support.
4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions
4.1 Setting Up the Hardware for NOS Installation
1. Remove the power cord from the power supply.
2. Looking at the server from the rear, loosen the two thumbscrews on the top-back of the server and remove the top access panel.
3. For the initial installation, 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, disconnect them temporarily. The installation instructions only will cover the on-board Ethernet adapter. After the operating system is starting (booting) without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure streamlines the installation process.
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. Verify that the SCSI cable runs from the on-board RAID controller to the top of the hot-swap backplane.
5. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and proceeding downward.
4.2 Setting Up the BIOS
1. Power-on the server; then, press F1 when the IBM logo appears to enter 'Configuration/Setup'.
2. When the 'Configuration/Setup Utility' menu appears, move the highlighted selection to 'Load Default Settings' and press Enter. Press Enter again to return to the 'Configuration/Setup Utility' menu.

10. In order to activate the purge fixes (PRGFREFX.NLM), the 'PURGE /ALL' DOS command must be run at the root of all the server volumes. In addition, VREPAIR.NLM should be run until there are no errors.
Note: Newer files already existing on the server will not be overwritten. The files are first version checked, if they are the same then date checked.
Appendix B: Installing Hot Plug PCI Support for NetWare v4.11 (optional) (Appendix B is an excerpt from README.TXT of the IBM Hot Plug PCI System Bus Driver, v1.00 diskette.)
Minimum Requirements:
- IBM Netfinity Server with Hot Plug PCI slots.
Note: The IBMSBD.NLM driver is designed so that it will not load on any system that does not have Hot Plug PCI slots, including non-IBM systems. If you want to verify that your system's hot-plug subsystem is working properly, load the IBMSBD.NLM driver with the -DETECT flag. (for example, LOAD IBMSBD -DETECT).
- IBM Hot Plug PCI System Bus Driver v1.00 (IBMSBD.NLM) provided by this diskette.
- An adapter and a Novell NetWare adapter driver that supports the ODI v3.31 specification or NWPA v3.00b specification published by Novell.
- Either of the following:
Novell IntranetWare I (NetWare v4.11) with Support Pack 4 or later, and the LIBUPG.EXE update package from Novell. The LIBUPG.EXE package contains a newer CLIB.NLM that is required by the Hot Plug PCI Installation Program to be able to copy files from the DOS partition. The LIBUPG.EXE file can be obtained from the Novell web site at the following URL by requesting the filename LIBUPG.
http://support.novell.com/search/ff_index.htm
- OR -
Novell NetWare v5.0 (This diskette is not required because all the drivers, including IBMSBD.NLM, are located on the NetWare v5.0 CD-ROM.)
Note: Novell is not providing the support modules to allow support for any version of Novell NetWare prior to Novell IntranetWare I (NetWare v4.11).
Installation Steps
To install the IBM Hot Plug PCI driver and support files on this diskette to the appropriate directories and add the appropriate
entries to SYS:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF:
1. Start the NetWare server and go to the NetWare console.
2. Type LOAD INSTALL and press Enter.
3. From the installation menu, select 'Product Options'.
4. From the Product Options menu, select 'Product Not Listed'.
5. Place the IBM Hot Plug PCI driver diskette (this diskette) into the diskette drive.
6. Press Enter to accept the default path of A:\
Note: The contents of this diskette can also be copied to a subdirectory on the server (in either the DOS or NetWare partitions) and the path in step 6 can be changed to match the path to the subdirectory.
7. After a brief moment, the Main Menu of the IBM Hot Plug PCI System Bus Driver v1.00 Installation Program is displayed.
8. Select 'Install NetWare v4.11 Support for IBM Hot Plug PCI System'
9. Type the path where this diskette image is located or accept the default of A:\ and press Enter.
Note: If the installation program immediately returns to the Main Menu when selecting a path that is not on a NetWare volume, it is because the LIBUPG.EXE package has not been applied. The LIBUPG.EXE package contains a new CLIB.NLM module that is required by the installation program so that file accesses to the DOS partition will be successful. Before the installation program can continue, apply the LIBUPG.EXE package fixes and then restart these installation instructions. The LIBUPG.EXE file can be obtained from the Novell web site at the following URL by requesting the filename LIBUPG.
http://support.novell.com/search/ff_index.htm
10. After the file copy is complete, press Escape to return to the Main Menu.
11. Select 'Exit' to return to the Installation Program.
12. Press Escape twice; then, press 'Yes' to exit the NetWare Installation Program.
13. Bring down the server and restart it to have the required modules load.
Note: If the installation is successful, you will see the NetWare Configuration Manger Console (NCMCON) showing the available Hot Plug PCI slots, their current status, and any adapters that are currently in the Hot Plug PCI slots.
