Before You Begin

Select a suitable area for server and rack assembly and

use. Ensure that the rack location:

■ Allows at least 30 inches of clearance at the rear of the

rack and 60 inches at the front of the rack

regulations governing the installation of Information

Technology Equipment by licensed electricians

See “Technical Specifications” in your System Reference

manual for temperature and humidity information.

If you do not wish to install the server into the rack your-

self, contact your DIGITAL authorized service provider. A

Customer Service Technician can install the server for you.

this switch. Always replace the top cover before

you turn on power to the server.

Before touching any circuit board or component,

wear an anti-static wrist strap, properly grounded

to the server chassis, or touch the metal frame to

discharge any static electricity.

Configuration Utility (SCU) in Step 7 or 8 since the SCU

will list IRQs already used.

Installation Guide

ENGLISH

If you’re installing optional expansion cards

Make sure you are familiar with using:

■ The System Configuration Utility (SCU)

■ RAID utilities

■ The SCSISelect Utility

Refer to your System Reference manual, SCSI, and RAID

manuals for any additional information.

ISA cards should be installed after you run the System

Configuration Utility, since the SCU will list IRQs already

used. PCI and EISA cards should be installed before run-

ning the SCU to take advantage of the SCU’s automatic

detection feature.

Use the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc to complete the server

installation. Follow these steps to configure your server.

1. Locate the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc in your DIGITAL

ServerWORKS software kit. Power on your server and

insert the CD-ROM disc.

If your server fails to boot from the CD-ROM, press

Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Ctrl + A, when prompted, to run

the SCSISelect utility. Enable the bootable CD-ROM and

INT13 lines. Exit and reboot.

2. Use the SCU, when displayed, to configure the EISA

option cards you installed or to enable the PCI cards.

If you installed ISA cards, check the current card con-

figuration to avoid IRQ conflicts before manually set-

ting jumpers and switches.

Your server automatically reboots after you save and

exit the SCU.

3. If you installed a RAID controller, the RAID configura-

tion utility will be displayed next. Configure your

server for RAID.

NOTE

If you installed additional SCSI or RAID cards, make sure

the MS-DOS partition resides on the drive on which you

want it to be. If not, shut down your server, change the

order of your cards, and reconfigure your server.

DIGITAL Server 7100R Series10

Run the Quick Launch CD-ROM program

Use the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc to complete the server

installation. Follow these steps to configure your DIGITAL

Server and install an operating system.

NOTE

If you installed optional expansion card(s), you first need

to perform the instructions on the previous page.

1. Locate the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc in your DIGITAL

ServerWORKS software kit. Power on your server and

insert the CD-ROM disc.

If your server fails to boot from the CD-ROM, press

Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Ctrl + A, when prompted, to run

the SCSISelect utility. Enable the bootable CD-ROM and

INT13 lines. Exit and reboot.

2. When prompted, you can create an MS-DOS partition

size appropriate for your operating system. The system

prompts you to confirm your choice. Note that

Windows NT requires a partition size of 35 MB. Other

Windows operating systems require 30 MB.

The Quick Launch main screen appears, and all utili-

ties and related files (SCU, diagnostics, RAID, etc.) are

installed onto the MS-DOS partition.

3. Select Installations & Utilities from the Quick Launch

main screen. Choose Express to automatically install

Microsoft Windows NT or Novell NetWare. Create

Diskettes allows you to create the utilities and driver

diskettes required when installing SCO UNIX, OS/2,

Microsoft Windows NT, or Novell NetWare manually.

Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Getting Started

guide included with the ServerWORKS software kit for

detailed installation procedures.
