(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 Configuration/Diagnostics.
2. Press Enter to select Configuration/Setup Utility.
3. Select Date and Time 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 CD-ROM, the Second Startup Device is set to Diskette Drive 0, and the
Third 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 IRQs (or other system resources such as I/O ports or memory) reserved, choose Plug and Play and then the desired resource type you wish to reserve. Change the desired resource from Plug and Play to ISA Legacy. From the Plug and Play window, press Esc and select Save Settings. Press Enter and then select Exit Setup. Press Esc and Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.
6. The server will reboot (If you receive a 162 Configuration Change has Occurred message during post, press Enter to select Continue, then Enter again. At the Diagnostic/Setup Utility window, press <ESCAPE> and then Enter to select Yes, save and exit the Setup Utility.

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





   - 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 ...

Press <F10> -Exit without change and boot to the PC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version 2.23 selecting Advanced Functions, then

2. After initializing, exit to the main menu and select Create/Delete/Copy Log Drive.
3. Select Create Disk Array.
4. Use the arrow keys to select RDY 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 Define Logical Drive.
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 All logical drives must be INITIALIZED after being created 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 All RAID-5 logical drives must be SYNCHRONIZED after initialization 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 Advanced Functions, and then backup IPS ServeRAID Config.
12. Verify that the PC ServeRAID Configuration Diskette Version 2.23 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.
