(For users who are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and install process, jump to Appendix B.
Setting up the hardware:
1. For models -PT0 and -PTW, ensure the voltage switch on the back of the power supply is set properly (models -PB0 and -RB0 have auto-sensing power supplies).
2. Looking at the rear of the system, loosen the 3 thumb screws on the right of the system and remove the side access panel.
3. 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.
NOTE: If you have installed the PC ServeRAID II Adapter and intend to use it as the boot device, see Appendix A after completing the section Setting Up the BIOS:
NOTE: If you intend 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 Setting Up the BIOS:
4. Carefully cut and remove the wire tie that holds the internal power connectors to the swing out DASD cage. Loosen the thumb screw on the swing out DASD cage.
5. Set the jumpers on the boot hard drive to enable active termination (Active Term or Tres jumper). The boot hard disk should be set to SCSI ID 0 (this is the default; no jumpers on the ID pins signifies ID 0). Refer to the hard drive documentation for more assistance on setting the termination and SCSI ID.
6. Insert the boot hard drive in the bottom bay of the drive cage circuit-side down and use the screw kit to mount the hard drive to the cage.
7. Attach the last drop of the SCSI cable (part number 60H9316) (farthest from the controller) to the boot hard drive. Attach an available internal power connector to the SCSI hard drive.
8. Verify that the SCSI cable (part number 60H9316) runs from the on-board SCSI controller to the CD-ROM, and then down to the hard drive in the DASD cage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: OS/2 currently only supports one CD-ROM device installed in the server during NOS installation. Additional CD-ROM devices can be installed into the server AFTER Completion of the NOS installation (Refer to APAR PJ24628 for more information). Verify that there is only one CD-ROM device in the server before continuing.

INSTALLATION PROCESS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before installing any FixPak, run CHKDSK /F against all drives on your system to correct any file system errors that might be present. You cannot do this while OS/2 is active. You must shut down and run CHKDSK by one of the following methods:
- Boot from your Installation and DISK 1 diskettes you used to install OS/2. If your file system is HPFS, then put the diskette with CHKDSK and UHPFS.DLL on it in the A drive before issuing the CHKDSK command.
- Boot from the Utilities disk created via the Create Utility Diskettes icon in the System Setup folder.
- Boot from a different OS/2 partition.
INSTALL FROM BOOTED OS/2 PARTITION.
Note: You can use a diskette drive other than A with this method. If your 3.5" diskette drive is B, use B where A is mentioned in the following steps. (this method only).
1. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A.
2. Open an OS/2 window or full-screen session.
3. Type A:\SERVICE and press the Enter key.
Note: You could also use the Drives object for A and double click on the SERVICE.EXE Icon to start the install.
4. Follow the displayed instructions. When prompted to insert Corrective Service Diskette 1 (not CSF DISK Diskette 1), place FixPak XR_W032 Corrective Service Diskette 1 in drive A. Repeat for the rest of the FixPak disks when requested to do so.
Note: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases, it has taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to complete.
5. If this is the first OS/2 Warp FixPak you have applied to this system, then enter the path to the ARCHIVE directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\ARCHIVE).
Note: This ARCHIVE directory is not related to the ARCHIVES directory built into OS/2 Warp 3.0. Please specify a different path. You must specify a different ARCHIVE directory for each product to be serviced.
If this is not the first OS/2 Warp FixPak, then enter the path to the BACKUP directory where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example, D:\BACKUP).
Note: You must specify a different BACKUP directory for each product to be serviced.
For either case, make sure there is sufficient space available on the drive you specify. Even though these files are kept in compressed (PACK2) format, they require between 7 and 12 MB of disk space.
6. Click on OK.
7. You will see an Application in use dialog box showing a list of locked files that cannot be serviced while the system is running. You are given two choices - to Continue or Reboot. Select Continue.
8. During the installation process you might see messages about Archiving, Updating and Deferring service.
- Archiving saves a compressed copy of the original file in the ARCHIVE or BACKUP path you specified.
- Updating means the original files are replaced with the new ones from this FixPak.
- Deferring service means the file to be updated is currently in use by the system and cannot be updated. The new files from the FixPak are placed in unpacked format in the \IBMCSFLK\FIX directory on the drive with the most free space. They are processed by the locked file device driver during reboot after you shut down the system.
9. Select NO for a redisplay of the Product List after the first part of the FixPak application process has completed if this message is displayed.
10. Click Cancel and Exit to close the Corrective Service Facility window if necessary.
11. Shut down and reboot your system.
You will see the following during reboot of the system if you applied service to the OS/2 partition you were booted from.
The locked file driver is loaded.
- Processing locked files
- Processing complete
The system will do one automatic reboot after the Locked File Device Driver has completed.
Installing MPTS WR08503 FixPak:
WARNING: Before Installing the FixPak, ARCHOFF.EXE (located on the ServicePak Tool diskette) must be executed to rename any ARCHIVE logs that have been created by previously installed FixPaks. This FixPak MAY NOT install properly if ARCHOFF.EXE is not run prior to starting SERVICE. With the ServicePak Tool diskette in the A drive, type A:ARCHOFF at an OS/2 command prompt to execute the pre-install program.
WR08503.INF, located on the MPTS Corrective Service diskette, contains installation, and other useful information about this FixPak. Please review before installation of service.
