Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers I/O Module

Upgrade Guide

Introduction

Use this option kit and the instructions provided in this guide to add PCI-X

technology and the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to Compaq

ProLiant™ 8500 servers.

The upgrade is performed by one of two methods. The method used depends

on the current server setup and operating system. Depending on the current

setup, the operating system may have to be reinstalled.

After the upgrade, the server will become a ProLiant DL760 server model. A

new service number will be assigned to the server to identify the new

components. This service number will be used to identify the type of system

you have and will ensure that proper help and diagnosis is given by the

Compaq Call Center or service technician. You will maintain the current

system serial number. When you call for service, provide both the original

system serial number and the upgrade service number.

CAUTION: If you are planning to upgrade the server with the I/O module

upgrade and the 900-MHz processor upgrade simultaneously, perform the I/O

module upgrade first. Performing the I/O module upgrade first will ensure the

latest BootBlock ROM chip is installed in the server.

Upgrade Precautions

WARNING: There is a risk of personal injury from hazardous energy levels. The

installation of options and routine maintenance and servicing of this product

shall be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures,

precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing hazardous

energy circuits.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,

refer to the documentation supplied with the system, and observe the

appropriate safety precautions and option installation instructions.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the

internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an

important safety feature.

■ Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily

accessible at all times.

■ Disconnect power from the system by unplugging the power cord from

either the electrical outlet or the system.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the system, you must become static-free by

touching a screw or unpainted surface on the system’s housing before

beginning these procedures. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on

the option board and chip or on the system’s circuit boards.

Preparing the Server

This section explains the two upgrade methods that can be used. Also, the

procedures necessary to prepare the existing server for the upgrade are

discussed in this section.

Selecting an Upgrade Method

The I/O module upgrade can be performed by either of two methods. The

method to use depends on the existing server setup.

IMPORTANT: Using Method 1 is strongly recommended. Reinstalling the operating

system using the SmartStart for Servers 5.0 CD results in a cleaner upgrade.

■ Method 1—This method is the preferred method. It involves reinstalling

the supported operating system using SmartStart for Servers 5.0.

■ Method 2—This method involves keeping the same supported operating

system, but updating the System Partition with the System Dispatcher

and Compaq Server Diagnostics utilities, updating the drivers, and

updating the Compaq Insight Manager™Console using the Compaq

Management 5.0 CD.

Use Table 1 to determine the supported operating systems for the

ProLiant DL760 server and Table 2 to determine the upgrade method to use.

Table 2

Upgrade Methods

Scenario Method to Use Explanation

No operating system is installed

on the existing server.

Method 1 SmartStart for Servers 5.0

will be used to install a

supported operating system.

A non-supported operating system

is installed on the existing server.

Method 1 SmartStart for Servers 5.0

will be used to reinstall a

supported operating system.

New expansion boards will be

added to the new I/O module.

Method 1 Reinstalling the operating

system with SmartStart for

Servers 5.0 ensures that the

correct drivers are loaded.

The 5V expansion boards on the

existing secondary bus must be

moved to the primary bus due to

the new slot keying on the 3.3V

secondary bus.

Method 1 Reinstalling the operating

system with SmartStart for

Servers 5.0 ensures that the

correct drivers are loaded.

The existing server has a

supported operating system, but it

will be reinstalled.

Method 1 Reinstalling the operating

system with the SmartStart

for Servers 5.0 CD provides a

cleaner upgrade.

The existing server has a

supported operating system, but it

will not be reinstalled.

Method 2 SmartStart for Servers 5.0

must be used to update the

System Partition and the

drivers.

Note: If upgrade Method 2 is used, do not install any new expansion boards during the

I/O module upgrade.

Preparing the Server for the Upgrade

After you have determined which upgrade method to use, use the following

procedures to prepare the server for the upgrade:

CAUTION: The ProLiant 8500 I/O Module upgrade process may destroy data on

the server. To ensure that you do not lose data, always back up the server

before starting the upgrade process.

CAUTION: Disconnect any data drives present to prevent data from being

erased when running the Erase utility from SmartStart.

1. Back up your data.

2. Shutdown the operating system as described in the operating system’s

instructions.

3. Disconnect any data drives.

4. Power down the server.

5. Gather the kit contents.

Upgrade Method 1

IMPORTANT: Using upgrade Method 1 is strongly recommended. Reinstalling the

operating system using the SmartStart for Servers 5.0 CD results in a cleaner install.

If Method 1 is used, proceed to the “Migrating the System”section of this

guide. You will install (reinstall) the operating system after the migration has

taken place.

Upgrade Method 2

If Method 2 is used, go to the “Updating the Drivers, System Partition, and

Compaq Insight Manager Console”section of this guide.
