If You're Installing Optional Expansion Cards - Digital Equipment Server 3100 series Installation Manual

7

If you're installing optional expansion cards

Make sure you are familiar with using:
The System Configuration Utility (SCU)
RAID utilities
The SCSISelect Utility
Refer to your System Reference manual, SCSI, and RAID
manuals for any additional information.
ISA cards should be installed after you run the System
Configuration Utility, since the SCU will list IRQs already
used. PCI and EISA cards should be installed before run-
ning the SCU to take advantage of the SCU's automatic
detection feature.
Use the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc to complete the server
installation. Follow these steps to configure your server.
1. Locate the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc in your DIGITAL
ServerWORKS software kit. Power on your server and
insert the CD-ROM disc.
If your server fails to boot from the CD-ROM, press
Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Ctrl + A, when prompted, to run
the SCSISelect utility. Enable the bootable CD-ROM and
INT13 lines. Exit and reboot.
Installation Guide
2. Use the SCU, when displayed, to configure the EISA
option cards you installed or to enable the PCI cards.
If you installed ISA cards, check the current card con-
figuration to avoid IRQ conflicts before manually set-
ting jumpers and switches.
Your server automatically reboots after you save and
exit the SCU.
3. If you installed a RAID controller, the RAID configura-
tion utility will be displayed next. Configure your
server for RAID.
NOTE
If you installed additional SCSI or RAID cards, make sure
the MS-DOS partition resides on the drive on which you
want it to be. If not, shut down your server, change the
order of your cards, and reconfigure your server.
