If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with 3.0 Quick Installation Instructions for Experienced Users'. If not, continue with '4.0 Detailed Installation Instructions'.
3.0) Quick instructions
1) Ensure the current machine BIOS is flashed on the server. (Disks listed in section 2.)
2) Boot to the EISA config and set the machines proper memory size and ensure that the SVGA ISA adapter has been locked out in EISA config with the "Generic SVGA ISA Video Adapter" description supplied on the disk.
Note: Refer to section 4.3. Disk filename is listed in Section 2 above.
3) Configure the adaptec controller. Extended BIOS translation must be enabled. Low level the drive after setting up the adapter.
4) Boot from the disks and install OS2 normally.
4.0) Detailed instructions.
Please follow each section carefully and in order:
4.1) Setting up Hardware

Appendix A:
Installing OS2 Fixpack 32
NOTE: If your ServerGuide does not have a "Fixpack" CD or you have no ServerGuide, call 1-800-426-7282 for a free upgrade (proof of IBM server purchase required). Otherwise, refer to IBM PSP's web site at http://ps.software.ibm.com to download the latest fixpacks (follow PSP's instructions for installing these packages).
1) Insert the ServerGuide CD labeled "Fixpack" in the CD ROM. Open an OS2 command prompt and change into the "\OS2" directory. Run "fixpinst".
2) Choose the appropriate language by number and press enter.
3) A graphical window appears. Click "OK". The system is now inspected.
4) Ensure all serviceable components are highlighted. An "Archive" path needs to be entered to back up existing files for each component. Each component line requires it's own entered archive directory.
NOTE: The graphical upgrade program does not create these directories. It is looking for them to already be on the hard drive. Open a command prompt and create them using the "MKDIR" command. Example: "MKDIR C:\Archive\Multimedia" for the multimedia component - when the directory is created, enter "C:\Archive\Multimedia" in the archive path in the graphical program. Now it will accept the directory and continue when "Service" is clicked.
5) Follow the on screen directions. Instruct the program to overwrite (continue) for any file name or driver it questions. After file copy is complete, shut down OS2 and reboot. After boot, the system unlocks locked files. The fixpack installation is now complete.
