Installation Prerequisites
Installation Prerequisites
Before the Model C100/C110/C160/C180 to a Model C200 Upgrade can be
performed, the current system must have an operating system version HPUX 10.20 or greater. The graphics card option being moved to the new
system must also be on the supported list of cards. If it is not, use the builtin
EG graphics or upgrade the graphics card option to a supported
configuration as outlined in the graphics option table below
Operating System
Verify that the HP-UX operating system is at a minimum level of 10.20. This
software must be loaded on the system before performing this upgrade.
Graphics Card Support
Verify that the graphics card(s) installed in your Model C100/C110/C160/
C180 are supported on the Model C200. The /usr/bin/graphinfo command
will display the current graphics card(s) information. Both HCRX8 and
HCRX24 cards require a physical inspection of the card to verify the ZAccelerator part number. The first 5 alpha-numeric characters on the Z
Accelerators white label must read A4242. The Z-Accelerator is the small
daughter card. If a graphics upgrade is required, it should be performed prior
to performing this upgrade.
The following table presents the graphics options that are supported and
NOT supported or recognized under HP-UX 10.20.

Upgrade Instructions Overview
Upgrade Instructions Overview
The general steps for performing the upgrade are outlined as follows and
should be performed in the sequence listed. Refer to the individual sections
of this guide for the actual step-by-step procedures for upgrading the C100/
110/C160/180 to a C200.
1 Update or arrange to have your operating system software updated to HP-UX
10.20. This can be a complex task and takes some time and planning.
NOTE: You must back up your system before updating your operating system.
2 Determine and WRITE DOWN the LAN ID of your system. You will need to re-
enter it into the new system board
3 Run the cclass_upgrade program
4 Power off the workstation and any peripherals and unplug the power cords. Dis-
connect any peripheral cables and remove the floor stand
5 Remove the main tray assembly
6 Remove the memory boards from the CPU board and the option boards from the
main tray and reinstall them onto the new main tray
7 Remove the old power supply and replace it with the new power supply.
8 Place the new main tray assembly into the workstation chassis
9 Connect power cords and cables, restart the workstation, and enter the LAN ID
when prompted

Preparing Your Workstation
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
C200 upgrade. If the workstation is running a version of HP-UX lower than
10.20, update the operating system software before continuing.
NOTE: Updating the operating system takes some time to perform. Please backup your
system before updating.
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 will be prompted for the LAN ID. Record the LAN ID here.
You will need it after installing the new system board:
EnterLAN ID ___________________-_____________________
You must supply the dash (-) between the first six digits and the last six digits.
Using the above output example, the LAN ID is 080009-70ECC0
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
Preparing Your Workstation
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.
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 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.
6 Wait for the system to completely shutdown.
7 Unplug the power cord of the system unit, the monitor, and any peripheral devic-
es from ac wall outlets.
8 Unplug the power cord from the back of the system unit.

Preparing Your Workstation
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 (if available).
• 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.

Installing Memory Modules
Installing Memory Modules
Install the memory modules in the C200 CPU board in the new main tray , as
described in the following procedure:
1 Locate the memory connectors on the C200 CPU board, as shown in Figure 5.
The C200 CPU has 12 memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B through 5A and 5B. The
memory configuration can be configured from 32 MB to 768 MB. The memory
modules must be installed in equal capacity pairs of 16 MB, 32 MB, or 64 MB.
Always install the largest capacity memory modules in the lowest numbered
memory slots and don’t skip any numbers.
For example, if you have a pair of 16 MB memory modules and a pair of 64 MB
memory modules, first install the pair of 64 MB memory modules in slots 0A
and 0B, then install the 16 MB modules in slots 1A and 1B.
Figure 5 shows the positions of the memory connectors and slot numbering on
the C200 CPU board.

installed in the old main tray.
If you are installing a graphics adapter, read and understand the information
in the next section titled “Graphics Adapter Considerations”, before continuing. Otherwise skip to the subsection titled “Option Board Installation”.
Graphics Adapter Considerations
If you are installing a graphics option, read the information in this section
first.
Graphics Paths
graphics0 is the built-in 8-plane graphics adapter.
graphics1 through graphics4 are graphics adapters installed in option slots 1
through 4.
When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video out-
put connectors) is installed, the video connector on the left (when looking at
the system from the rear) is graphicsNA, and the video connector on the
right is graphicsNB, where N is the slot number in which the graphics
adapter is installed.
For example, a Dual V isualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) installed
in option slot 3 would be graphics3A and graphics3B.
15
Installing Option Boards
Graphics Configuration Restrictions
The system supports only four graphics displays at a time. A “display” is
a video output port or connector. For example, the Dual Visualize Enhanced
Graphics Card (A4451A) is a dual display card. It has two external video
connectors so it accounts for two of the maximum of four displays. If you
installed two of these cards, they would account for the maximum of four
displays supported by the system.
The built-in graphics adapter accounts for one graphics display
(graphics0). If four displays are installed in the option slots, the built-in
graphics adapter is automatically disabled.
You may not install a dual display graphics adapter in option slot 1 and
option slot 3 at the same time. If you do, the graphics adapter in slot 1 will
be disabled.
You may not install a dual display graphics adapter in option slot 2 and
option slot 4 at the same time. If you do, the graphics adapter in slot 2 will
be disabled.
When a Visualize48Z (A4244A) two board graphics adapter is installed,
only one other graphics adapter is permitted in the option slots. It must
be installed in the next highest numbered slot after the second card of the
two board set.If the second card is in slot 4, use slot 1 for the only other permitted graphics adapter.
