If you have ServerGuide version 2.4 and the 1 to 4 processor SMP license activation key, follow the installation instructions in README.SG. =============================================================== INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINDOWS NT _________________________________________ Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 installation procedure for the IBM PC Server 720 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The following information contains some important considerations for installing Microsoft Windows NT. First: Flash the BIOS to at least Rev Level 07. The file on the IBM BBS and WebSite (http://www.pc.ibm.com) is 720BIOS.DSK. After making the disk, boot the diskette and follow the on screen directions. IBM PC Server 720 8642-1ZS, 8642-2ZS, 8642-4ZS (Array models) ------------------------------------------------------------- Materials Required: Windows NT 3.51 installation diskettes (3) Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A Option Diskettes (2), Version 2.23 or later IBM PC Server 720 Network Operating System Support Diskette IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A Option Diskette ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Start the server with the IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A Option Diskette (1 of 2). 2. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! You must FORMAT every drive in the system, not initialize. 2a. Choose Advanced functions from the main menu. 2b. Choose FORMAT drive. With this option, FORMAT every hard drive installed in the system. 3. Configure your desired physical arrays and logical drives. 3a. Create a 300 to 500 MB logical drive. VERY IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT Initialize the logical drives. The drives should not be touched after formatting them from the above step! 4. If you do not have NT ServicePack 3, then download it from the Microsoft ftp site. The ServicePack 3 is 7 diskettes and a readme disk. To download the ServicePack from the Microsoft ftp site, do the following: a. ftp to: ftp.microsoft.com b. login as: anonymous c. cd bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt351/ussp3/i386/disks.35 d. type: bin e. To disable interactive prompting, type: prompt f. You may wish to specify a local directory by typing: lcd c:\path g. type: mget 5. On the NT ServicePack 3, Disk 1, there is a file named NTKRNLMP.EX_. Use the expand command to expand the file to NTKRNLMP.EXE. Then, copy this file onto the original NT 3.51 Install Disk 1. The new NTKRNLMP.EXE file is dated 10-7-95 and size 515,234. 6. Start the server using a DOS Disk and run FDISK to create an active partition the size of the logical drive that was defined to install NT. You don't need to format the partition, the NT install will do this. NT Installation Diskette ------------------------ 1. Start the server with the Windows NT Setup Boot diskette, and start the installation process. When the message "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware information" appears on the screen, press F5. (Note: Pressing F5 will cause the installation program to ask for an another diskette in the process.) 2. The message "Setup could not determine the type of computer you have, or you have chosen to manually specify the computer type" will appear. (Note: If you see a message prompting you to insert "Windows NT Setup Disk 2," then you did not press F5 at the appropriate time. Restart the server with the Windows NT Setup Boot diskette and start over.) 3. Select "other." 4. Insert the IBM PC Server 720 Network Operating System Support diskette and press Enter. 5. The PC Server 720 will be highlighted. Press Enter. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen until the Express/Custom menu appears. 7. Press C for Custom Setup. 8. Press S to Skip Mass Storage Detection. 9. Press S to Specify additional SCSI adapters. 10. Press Enter to select "other." 11. Insert "IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A Option Diskette (2 of 2)" in drive A. 12. Press Enter to continue. 13. Select the device driver for NT Version 3.5, and then press Enter to continue. 14. Press Enter to avoid further detection of mass storage devices. 15. Continue following the instructions on the screen. 16. After completing the custom install of NT, apply ServicePack 3 before running any of the applications, especially Disk Administrator. 17. After applying the Sevicepack 3, shutdown and restart the system, then run Disk Administrator and partition the drives. 18. If adding drives later on, you must FORMAT the drives as described above before defining the drives in an array.
