Hard Disk Drive Installation Steps - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Service & Reference Manual

/H displays the System Administration Manager in 43-line mode if you have an EGA
display. Displays the System Administration Manager in 50-line mode if you have a
VGA display.
/K prevents the computer from supporting the use of a mouse in the EISA Configuration
Utility even if one is present.
/M displays the System Administration Manager screens in black and white.
/N modeling mode. Allows you to edit or create a custom SCI file that can be saved
without changing the contents of CMOS.
*** Accessing Advanced Configuration Settings
In addition to using the SAM /A command to access the hidden advanced fields in "Step 3: View or edit
details" of the EISA Configuration Utility,
you can also use one of following methods:
Enter <Ctrl-A> at the SAM (System Administration Manager) "Welcome" screen.
Enter <Ctrl-A> instead of <Enter> in the Configure Computer menu when the "Run
Configuration Utility" entry is highlighted.
HP NetServer LM, LM2, LF only:
MS-DOS version 6.0 or later must be installed on the server and the hard disk is formatted
before you install SAM.
The memory driver HIMEM.SYS version 2.78 or later must be installed.
Do not install the System Administration Manager in the root directory (C:\) because the
CONFIG.SYS file will be replaced with the one on the Diskette #1. A directory named HPSYS is
recommended. Do not add the directory to the PATH statement. System Administration
Manager must be run from the directory it is in.
You need approximately 1 MB of free space on the hard disk drive to copy the files from #1
diskette.
If the hard disk drive is connected to an EISA board (that is, HP EISA SCSI Host Adapter), and
the EISA board is not configured properly, access to the hard disk drive might be denied. If the
hard disk controller is an EISA board, running the EISA Configuration Utility from #1 diskette is
recommended.
If you have several terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs or device drivers loaded, the
server might not have enough available memory to run the EISA Configuration Utility from the
hard disk drive.
If you are reinitializing a hard disk drive, run the System Administration Manager from #1
diskette since reinitializing a hard disk drive destroys all data on it.
If you are running under the Windows environment, exit it before running SAM.

Hard Disk Drive Installation Steps:

To install the System Administration Manager on the hard disk drive:
1. Create the proper operating environment. See below.
2. Make a directory named HPSYS in which to store the System Administration Manager files on
the hard disk drive.
3. Insert #1 diskette in drive A and enter: COPY A:*.* [drive:]\HPSYS.
