Contents of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM

The main menu of NetServer Navigator directs you to modules where you can perform configuration tasks or access online system documentation. The following is a description of the contents of the CD-ROM as accessed from the Main Menu.

README File

This file includes the most recent information that was not available at the time that the installation documentation was printed. It is important to check this file before proceeding with the installation.

Configuration Assistan t

Configuration Assistant guides you through the steps necessary to configure the NetServer. Three methods of configuration are available: Express, Custom, and Replicate.

Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you default selections. An Express configuration includes the following steps:

• Update System BIOS: This step appears if Configuration Assistant

detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the Navigator CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to continue in Express mode.

• Install NOS: Choose the NOS and the install mode:

◊ Install NOS (automated mode): In automatic NOS install mode, if

you are installing certain versions of Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server, HP’s automated installation process guides you through the NOS installation and configures your hard disk drive and NOS according to certain preset parameters.

◊ Install NOS manually: If you did not choose automated NOS install

mode, you will configure the NetServer by manually making choices, and creating NOS-specific driver diskettes. You will need to print and read the custom-installation instructions.

Chapter 2 HP NetServer Navigator

∗ Print and Read Instructions: You must print out the NOS

installation instructions and follow them to manually install the NOS.

∗ Create Drivers Diskette: If you choose to install the NOS with

the vendor-supplied installation utility included with the NOS software, you will create a customized diskette containing HP drivers and configuration files that you will need when you install the NOS.

• Show Configured Cards: This step shows configured PCI boards and

Plug-and-Play ISA boards.

• Configure Disk Array: If you have an external HP disk array, you must

configure it with the disk array utility.

• Install Utility Partition: This step creates an 8 MB utility partition on the

server hard disk where Navigator will copy the Diagnostic Assistant, BIOS Update Utility and other utilities.

• Execute Card Utilities: When Navigator finds installed boards for which

there are additional configuration utilities on the CD-ROM, the configuration utilities are executed automatically to complete the configuration of the boards.

In Custom Configuration, you can perform the above configuration steps in any order. Select Custom if you are experienced in NetServer configuration and have a preferred sequence of steps or prefer to configure your system one component at a time. The Custom Configuration allows you to manually choose these options:

• Install NOS: Choose the NOS and the install mode:

◊ Install NOS (automated mode): In automatic NOS install mode, if

◊ Install NOS manually: If you did not choose automated NOS install

mode, you will configure the NetServer by manually making choices, and creating NOS-specific driver diskettes. You will need to print and read the custom-installation instructions.

Chapter 2 HP NetServer Navigator

∗ Print and Read Instructions: You must print out the NOS

installation instructions and follow them to manually install the NOS.

∗ Create Drivers Diskette: If you choose to install the NOS with

In Replicate Configuration, you can save a copy of your current system configuration or load a previously saved configuration. This method saves time when configuring multiple, identical systems.

4 Accessories

Installing Accessories

This chapter deals with installing those accessories not covered by the installation road map for your HP NetServer E 45. If you are installing SCSI mass storage devices, PCI accessory boards, or ISA Plug-and-Play accessory boards, consult the road map. The following accessories are discussed in this chapter:

• IDE CD-ROM drive

• IDE hard disk drive.

• ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards

Installing I DE Dev ices

The HP NetServer E 45 chassis contains six mass-storage shelves. The front four shelves (shelves 1–4) allow for the installation of a 3.5" flexible disk drive and three 3.5" or 5.25" mass storage devices. The rear shelves (shelves 5 and 6) allow for the installation of two 3.5" mass storage devices. An IDE CD-ROM drive is installed in shelf 2 below the floppy disk drive in shelf 1.

IDE Jumpers

Each IDE device has a jumper labeled "MA" (master), "SL" (slave), and "CS” (cable select).This three-position jumper determines whether the device is to function as a master device or a slave device.

• If you want the device to function as the master or slave device,

determined by which connector on the cable the device is connected to (master connector or slave connector), set the jumper to "CS.” The location of the IDE device on the cable will determine the function of the device (as master or slave) when the jumper is set to "CS.” If the device is connected to the master connector (the connector closest to the system board) it will function as the IDE master device. If the device is connected to the slave connector (the connector at the end of the cable) it will function as the IDE slave device.

Chapter 4 Accessories

NOTE Whenever adding devices to, or changing the location of

devices on the IDE cable, set the jumper to "CS" on all devices connected to the cable.

• If you want the device to be the master device on this cable, set the jumper

to "MA.” No matter what connector on the cable the device is connected to, it will function as the IDE master device.

• Likewise, if you want the device to be the slave device on the cable, set the

jumper to "SL.” No matter what connector on the cable the device is connected to, it will function as the IDE slave device.

IDE Cabling

There is one IDE cable supplied with your HP NetServer. It plugs into the connector on the system board labeled "Secondary IDE Channel" (the lower connector). There are two device connectors on the cable. The first device connector is connected to the preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive. The second device connector can be used for an additional IDE CD-ROM drive. Whichever device is connected to the first device connector (not at the end of the cable) is the “master”, and the device connected to the second device connector (at the end of the cable) is the “slave.”

NOTE Do not connect an IDE hard disk to the same cable that is

connected to the preinstalled CD-ROM drive. This may result in degraded performance of the hard disk.

If you want to install an IDE hard disk, you will need to purchase an extra IDE cable and connect it to the connector on the system board labeled "Primary IDE Channel" (the upper connector). Connect the first device connector on the cable (not the connector at the end of the cable) to the hard disk drive.

Chapter 4 Accessories

Configuring ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Boards

If you installed any ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards, such as certain modem boards, network interface boards, or multi-port boards in a NetServer, you will need to allocate system resources for each of these boards using the Setup utility.

1. Read the documentation for each accessory board and determine what system resources it requires. These resources may include memory range, I/O port range, DMA channel, and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some resources there may be one value, or several values from which you may select by configuring jumpers or switches on the board. A board may not require resources from all of these categories. If the documentation for the board does not reference some of these resources, they may not be required, and need not be reserved.

CAUTION Different boards cannot use the same resources. If two boards

require any of the same resources, reconfigure one of the boards (via switches or jumpers on the board) so that the boards have different resource requirements.

2. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and display monitor.

3. When you see the message "F2 = Setup" on the display monitor, press the F2 function key.

4. When the Setup screen is displayed, use the left and right arrow keys to select the Configuration menu.

5. Use the down arrow key to select the ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board option from the menu, and press the Enter key.

6. Use the down arrow key to select the Memory Resources option from the menu, and press the Enter key.

7. Use the up and down keys to select the memory block that corresponds to the memory range required for the ISA board you are installing, and press the F7 or F8 key to reserve that block. If the memory range required for a board spans two or more blocks shown on the screen, reserve all blocks required by the board. If the memory range required for the board is less than one block, select the whole block that contains the range.
