... for purchasing a Digital Prioris server.

The Prioris family represents

Digital’s continued commitment to

Uncompromising Quality, backed by

award-winning Customer Service and Support.

The following procedures will help you easily

set up your server’s hardware and software.

Before you Begin

Select a suitable area for assembly and use. Ensure that

your workspace:

■ Is located next to electrical outlets and a telephone

jack

■ Is free from excessive heat, dust, and direct sunlight

■ Allows at least 7 inches of clearance on all sides for

proper air flow

See “Technical Specifications” in your System Reference

manual for temperature and humidity information.

If you do not wish to install the server yourself, contact

Digital Customer Service. A Customer Service Technician

can install the server for you.

WARNING

Use extreme care when unpacking your server.

Due to its weight, two people are required to

unpack it. Failure to use two people might violate

certain safety regulations and can result in severe

personal injury or equipment damage.

NOTE

Servers are heavy. Do not lift this equipment alone.

Unpack your server following the diagrams on the box

top. Use a mechanical aid or get someone to help you lift

it from the carton base.

■ Test the weight of the server to make sure its comforta-

bly within your lifting capabilities.

■ Know where you’re going to set it down before you lift.

■ Roll the server on its wheels rather than carry it.

■ Get close to the server, with feet apart for stable footing.

■ Squat down, knees bent, back straight.

■ Get a firm grip, lift with your legs, keep back straight.

■ Avoid twisting your upper body. Move your feet to turn.

■ Lower gently using leg muscles to squat, back straight.

■ Roll the server into place and lock the brake as shown

in Step 3, Note

After your server has been unpacked, please recycle the

packing materials or dispose of them properly.

NOTES

Removing the side panels activates the power interlock

switches. These switches turn off power to your server.

You might injure yourself or damage the server if you

attempt to override or bypass these switches. Always re-

place the side panels before you turn on power to the

server.

Use the brake located at the bottom of your server

lock your server in place.

ISA cards should be installed after you run the System

Configuration Utility in Step 7 or 8 since the SCU will list

IRQs already used.

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.

If you plan to use Quick Launch to install your Network

Operating System, your server must meet the following

minimum requirements to proceed with the server installa-

tion:

■ 16 MB of RAM

■ SVGA monitor

■ 540 MB minimum hard disk drive

■ Network card

■ Two or three button mouse

■ CD-ROM drive attached to the bootable SCSI controller

Prioris Servers6

Connect the cables and power cord

1. Connect the mouse and keyboard cables into the cor-

responding connectors at the back of the server.

2. Place your monitor near your server. Connect the

monitor signal cable to the back of the monitor and

then connect it to the matching connector at the back

of your server. Note that some monitors have cables

permanently attached.

3. Connect the monitor power cord to the back of the

monitor if necessary, and then connect it to the match-

ing connector at the back of your server or into a wall

outlet.

NOTE

Some large screen monitors (17-inch diagonal and over)

require more power than the server’s auxiliary ac outlet

can supply. These monitors will have power cords that

must be connected directly into a wall outlet.

4. Connect the ac power cord to the server and then to

your power outlet.

NOTE

If you have a secondary power supply, connect the re-

maining ac power cord to the secondary power supply,

then to your power outlet.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to modify or use an external

100 Vac (Japan only) or 115 Vac power cord for

240 Vac input power. Modifying either cord can

cause severe equipment damage.

Prioris Servers8

Turn on the monitor and then the server

1. Turn on the monitor.

2. Turn on the server.

3. The Operator Control Panel (OCP) display should turn

on by itself. If it doesn’t, press the OCP button.

4. Adjust the monitor contrast and brightness to obtain a

NOTE

Refer to your System Reference manual for BIOS, Power-

on-self-test (POST), and OCP messages.

Front panel switch icons are, from left to right, power,

OCP backlight, and system reset.

Installation Guide

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 following

System Configuration Utility since the SCU will list IRQs

already used. PCI and EISA cards should be installed be-

fore running the SCU to take advantage of the SCU’s

automatic detection feature.

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

installation. Follow these steps to configure your server.

1. Locate the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk in your Server-

WORKS software kit. Power on your server and insert

the CD-ROM disk. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot your

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

press Ctrl + Alt + Del again, 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 you want it to

be on. If not, shut down your server, change the order of

your cards and reconfigure your server.

Prioris Servers10

Run the Quick Launch CD-ROM program

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

installation. Follow these steps to configure your server

and install an operating system.

NOTE

This procedure assumes that no additional EISA, PCI, or

ISA cards have been installed in your server. If you in-

stalled optional expansion card(s), you first need to per-

form the instructions on the previous page.

1. Locate the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk in your Server-

WORKS software kit. Power on your server and insert

the CD-ROM disk. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot your

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

press Ctrl + Alt + Del again, then Ctrl + A, when

prompted, to run the SCSISelect utility. Enable the

Bootable CD-ROM and INT13 lines, exit and reboot.

2. When prompted, enter the MS-DOS partition size. Quick

Launch then creates an MS-DOS partition on the hard

disk drive using the FDISK utility. Afterwards, your

server automatically reboots.

The Quick Launch main menu appears and all utilities

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

stalled onto the MS-DOS partition.

3. Select Installations & Utilities from the Quick Launch

main menu. Choose Express for unattended operating

system installation of Microsoft Windows NT or Novell

NetWare or choose Conventional for a traditional op-

erating system installation (SCO UNIX, OS/2, Microsoft

Windows NT, or Novell NetWare).

Refer to the Quick Launch Reference Guide included with

the ServerWORKS software kit for detailed installation

procedures.
