Upgrading your Model C100/110 to a Model C160 or C180

Your upgrade kit contains a Main Tray Assembly, which, when installed, upgrades your Model C100/110 to a Model C160/C180.

NOTE: Installing this upgrade in your Model C100 or Model C110 does not affect the

regulatory and safety classifications or approvals. The upgraded system meets all of the regulatory and safety standards listed in Appendix A of your original Model C100/110 Owner’s Guide.

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions for removing the C100/110 main tray and power supply and installing the C160/C180 CPU main tray and power supply.

Upgrading your Model C100/110 to a Model C160 or C180

The general steps are outlined as follows. See the individual sections for more detailed instructions.

NOTE: The following steps must be followed in the order in which they appear. Refer to the

individual sections of this guide for the actual step-by-step procedures for upgrading the C100/110 to a C160/180.

• Update your operating system software to HP-UX 10.20.

• Determine the LAN ID of your system.

• Run the cclass_upgrade program.

• Power off the workstation and any peripherals and unplug the power cords. Disconnect any peripheral cables and remove the floor stand.

• Remove the main tray assembly.

• Remove the memory boards from the CPU board and the option boards from the main tray and reinstall them onto the new main tray.

• Place the main tray assembly into the workstation chassis.

• Connect power cords and cables, restart the workstation, and enter the LAN ID when prompted.

Preparing Your Workstation

Before starting the upgrade, use the following procedure to prepare the workstation:

1 The workstation must be running HP-UX 10.20 or later to accommodate the

C160/C180 upgrade. If the workstation is running a version of HP-UX lower than

10.2, update the operating system software before continuing.

2 Determine the workstations LAN ID with the lanscan command by entering the

following command:

/usr/sbin/lanscan

The output is similar to the following:

Hardware Station Dev Hardware Net-Interface NM Encapsulation Mjr Path Address lu State NameUnit State ID Methods Num

2.0.2 0x08000970ECC0 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER 52

After you install the new CPU board or I/O board and power on the system for the ﬁrst time, you are prompted for the LAN ID. Record the information here so you have a record of it:

EtherLAN ID ___________________-_____________________ You must supply the dash (-) between the ﬁrst six digits and the last six digits.

3 Logout of your system and enter a no windows command line session as follows:

HP VUE: At the login window, select Options, then select No Windows. HP CDE: At the login window, select Option, then select

Command Line Login.

4 Next, you need to run the upgrade utility program to automatically convert the

hardware paths stored in the system’s I/O configuration file. You should only run this utility if you are going to complete the rest of the hardware upgrade described in this document.

Enter the following command to run the upgrade utility program:

/usr/sam/lbin/cclass_upgrade

The upgrade utility prompts you to conﬁrm that you want to continue, as follows:

Are you ready to perform the upgrade (y/n [n] ) ?

Enter Y.

Preparing Your Workstation

The upgrade utility proceeds to modify the I/O conﬁguration information that is stored in the ﬁles /etc/ioconﬁg and /stand/ioconﬁg to be compatible with the upgraded system. The original I/O conﬁguration information is saved in the backup ﬁle /etc/ioconﬁg.pre_upgrade.

If the utility detects an A4077A Color Graphics Card or an A4078A Dual Color Graphics Card in the system, it will inform you to remove them when you perform the hardware portion of this upgrade. Systems with built-in Enhanced Graphics adapters do not support these optional graphics adapters.

If you have a Visualize48Z (A4444A) graphics adapter installed, the utility may ask you to identify which slot the card set is installed in. Respond with the highest numbered option slot that the graphics adapter card set resides in.

NOTICE: The cclass_upgrade utility modiﬁes the hardware conﬁguration so that it

is incompatible with a C100 or C110 system. After running the utility, you must continue with this upgrade or restore the conﬁguration information from /etc/ioconﬁg.pre_upgrade to /etc/ioconﬁg and /stand/ioconﬁg.

5 If your system has an A4070B HCRX-8Z or an A4071B with the A4272A accel-

erator graphics adapter installed enter the following commands to save the current versions of the /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig files:

mv /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.old

mv /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.old

6 Power off your workstation by pressing the power button on the front panel.

When you press the power button, the workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before it powers off the system.

7 When the workstation has completed shutting down and powering off, power off

the monitor, and any peripheral devices connected to the workstation.

If your system has supported graphics adapters installed, continue with step

8. Otherwise skip to step 12.

8 If a message to press Esc to stop the boot process is displayed, then press Esc.

This stops the boot process and brings you to the Boot Console Handler prompt.

9 At the prompt, enter the following command to enter the information menu:

10 Enter the followiong command to display the console setting:

The garphics path for the default console device is displayed. Make note of this information below for later use.

11 Power down the system.

C100_110-160_180.FB 5 Tue Jul 16 06:36:50 1996

12 Unplug the power cord of the system unit, the monitor, and any peripheral devic-

es from ac wall outlets.

13 Unplug the power cord from the back of the system unit.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure you unplug the power cable from

the wall outlet and the system unit before proceeding any further.

CAUTION: The internal components of your workstation are susceptible to mechanical and

electrostatic shock. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during the installation procedure.

• Stand on a static-free mat

• W ear a static-grounding wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge

discharges from your body to ground. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the package that contains the strap. Be sure to attach one end of the strap to the system chassis.
