Prioris™ Server Installation WITH ServerWORKS™ QUICK LAUNCH

This document serves as an installation guide for Digital Prioris servers, outlining the step-by-step setup of both hardware and software components, primarily utilizing the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM.

The guide begins by advising on pre-installation preparations, including selecting a suitable workspace, unpacking the server and its associated components (such as keyboard, mouse, power cord, server keys, software, and documentation), and installing any internal options like memory, drives, or expansion cards, emphasizing anti-static precautions. It then details connecting external cables for the terminator, mouse, keyboard, monitor, and power supply, followed by establishing the Ethernet connection.

After initial hardware setup, the document instructs users to power on the monitor and server. A crucial step involves running the System Configuration Utility (SCU) via the Quick Launch CD-ROM to configure expansion cards, noting specific procedures for PCI and ISA cards. The core software installation process is described, leveraging the Quick Launch CD-ROM for operating system deployment, offering "Express" options for Microsoft Windows NT and Novell NetWare, or "Conventional" for creating driver diskettes or installing other operating systems. The guide also explains how to create additional utility and device driver diskettes using the CD-ROM.

Finally, the document covers post-installation tasks, including registering the server for warranty purposes, providing guidance on contacting customer support (with advice to run diagnostics first), and installing the optional ServerWORKS Manager software for server monitoring and management after the operating system is in place.
