Before You Begin

Select a suitable area for assembly and use. Ensure that

your workspace:

■ Is located next to electrical outlets and a tele-

phone jack

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

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

proper air flow

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 yourself, contact

your DIGITAL authorized service provider. 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.

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.

NOTE

ISA cards should be installed after you run the System

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

will list IRQs already used.

Connect the cables and power cord

1. Connect the mouse and keyboard cables into the

corresponding 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 signal

cables permanently attached.

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

monitor then to a wall outlet.

4. 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.

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 3100/3200 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 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 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 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.
