Configuring Server Node 1

The following sections provide instructions for configuring your
ProLiant CL380 system with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0,
Enterprise Edition.

Be sure you have sufficient software rights to install the operating
system and software applications on each server node.

All hardware must be installed before you install the software.
1. Apply power to the shared storage array and boot server node 1 with the
SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. When the system boots, you will see the Select Language screen. Select
the language you would like to use and follow the installation process.
3. When prompted to select an installation path, select the Assisted
Integration path. Follow the guided installation process. If you need
help, refer to the online help by clicking on the Help button.
4. After the operating system has been selected, SmartStart runs the
System Configuration Utility and configures the server node hardware.
The adapter card in each server node that is connected to the shared
storage RAID controller must have a unique SCSI ID number.
5. To verify or change the SCSI ID number after the system configuration
is done, select Review or Modify Hardware Settings and then
press Enter. This allows you to see all of the hardware settings.
6. Select Step 3: View or Edit Details.
7. Press the down arrow to select Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide
Ultra2 SCSI Controller (Port1). Underneath this heading is a subheading
titled SCSI ID. To change the SCSI ID setting, highlight the SCSI ID
option then press Enter. After making a new selection, press Enter to
accept the change.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of the SCSI ID setting. When server node 2 is configured, it
cannot have the same ID as server node 1. For example, if server node 1 is set for
SCSI ID 7, then server node 2 must be set to ID 6.
