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

proper air flow

See “Technical Specifications” in your System Reference

2. Remove side panel

3. Install options

NOTE

ISA cards should be installed after you run the System

Configuration Utility in Step 6 or 7 since the SCU will list

IRQs already used.

CAUTION

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.

Refer to the following chapters in the System Reference

manual for detailed information.

■ Server Software and Utilities

■ Server Components

■ Installing Additional Memory

■ Installing Disk and Tape Drives

■ Installing Expansion Boards

■ Connecting SCSI Adapters

Also, refer to the documentation that came with the option

kit for specific installation instructions.

Server Installation

Connect the cables, terminator, and power cord

1. Connect the terminator at the back of the server.

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

responding connectors at the back of the server.

3. 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.

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

monitor, then to a wall outlet.

5. Connect the server power cord to the server, then to a

wall 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.

The voltage selection switch must match the

voltage supplied by your power outlet. In North

America, 115 volts is common. In other countries,

230 volts is common. Ensure that the voltage

selection switch is set to the right voltage. If it is

not set correctly, you can damage your server.

■ The SCSISelect Utility

Refer to your System Reference and SCSI manuals for any

additional information.

ISA cards should be installed after you run the following Sys-

tem Configuration Utility since the SCU will list IRQs already

used. PCI cards should be installed before running the SCU to

take advantage of the SCU’s automatic detection feature.

Run the SCU

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

installation. Follow these steps to configure your server.

NOTE

The following is not applicable for Prioris XLe 6000 Series

Servers that do not have a bootable CD-ROM drive installed.

Instead, take the Quick Launch CD-ROM to any other Win-

dowsbased personal computer with a CD-ROM drive. Create a

bootable SCU diskette by running the Quick Launch Program.

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. Select your language and hold the Alt key until the

SCU starts automatically.

3. Use the SCU, when displayed, to enable the PCI cards.

Install ISA cards if desired

If you are installing ISA cards, check the current card con-

figuration to avoid IRQ conflicts before manually setting

jumpers and switches. After installing the cards, run the

SCU again and check the card configuration.

Your server automatically reboots after you save and exit

the SCU.

NOTE

If you installed additional SCSI cards, make sure the MS-

DOS partition resides on the bootable drive. If not, shut

down your server, change the order of your cards and

reconfigure your server.
