The upgrade is performed by one of two methods. The method used depends on the current server setup and operating system. Depending on the current setup, the operating system may have to be reinstalled. After the upgrade, the server will become a ProLiant DL760 server model. A new service number will be assigned to the server to identify the new components. This service number will be used to identify the type of system you have and will ensure that proper help and diagnosis is given by the Compaq Call Center or service technician. You will maintain the current system serial number. When you call for service, provide both the original system serial number and the upgrade service number. CAUTION: If you are planning to upgrade the server with the I/O module upgrade and the 900-MHz processor upgrade simultaneously, perform the I/O module upgrade first. Performing the I/O module upgrade first will ensure the latest BootBlock ROM chip is installed in the server.

The installation of options and routine maintenance and servicing of this product shall be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing hazardous energy circuits. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, refer to the documentation supplied with the system, and observe the appropriate safety precautions and option installation instructions. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: I Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. I Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. I Disconnect power from the system by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the system. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the system, you must become static-free by touching a screw or unpainted surface on the system's housing before beginning these procedures. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on the option board and chip or on the system's circuit boards.

Also, the procedures necessary to prepare the existing server for the upgrade are discussed in this section. Selecting an Upgrade Method The I/O module upgrade can be performed by either of two methods. The method to use depends on the existing server setup. IMPORTANT: Using Method 1 is strongly recommended. Reinstalling the operating system using the SmartStart for Servers 5.0 CD results in a cleaner upgrade. I Method 1--This method is the preferred method. It involves reinstalling the supported operating system using SmartStart for Servers 5.0. I Method 2--This method involves keeping the same supported operating system, but updating the System Partition with the System Dispatcher and Compaq Server Diagnostics utilities, updating the drivers, and updating the Compaq Insight ManagerTM Console using the Compaq Management 5.0 CD. Use Table 1 to determine the supported operating systems for the ProLiant DL760 server and Table 2 to determine the upgrade method to use. Table 1 Supported Operating Systems. Operating System Vendor Version Windows NT Server 4.0 Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows 2000 Server NetWare 4.2 SMP Novell NetWare 4.2 NetWare 5 and 5.1 SCO UnixWare 7.1.2 Compaq Confidential Need to Know Required Writer: Ruben Garcia Project: Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers I/O Module Upgrade Guide Comments: Part Number: 216597-002 File Name: 216597-002 IO Module Upgrade Guide.doc Last Saved On: 3/15/01 1:49 PM Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers I/O Module Upgrade Guide 5 Table 2 Upgrade Methods Scenario Method to Use Explanation No operating system is installed Method 1 SmartStart for Servers 5.0 on the existing server. will be used to install a supported operating system.

To ensure that you do not lose data, always back up the server before starting the upgrade process. CAUTION: Disconnect any data drives present to prevent data from being erased when running the Erase utility from SmartStart. 1. Back up your data. 2. Shutdown the operating system as described in the operating system's instructions. 3. Disconnect any data drives. 4. Power down the server. 5. Gather the kit contents. Upgrade Method 1 IMPORTANT: Using upgrade Method 1 is strongly recommended. Reinstalling the operating system using the SmartStart for Servers 5.0 CD results in a cleaner install. If Method 1 is used, proceed to the "Migrating the System" section of this guide. You will install (reinstall) the operating system after the migration has taken place. Upgrade Method 2 If Method 2 is used, go to the "Updating the Drivers, System Partition, and Compaq Insight Manager Console" section of this guide.

CONTINUE WITH THE "MIGRATING THE SYSTEM" SECTION OF THIS GUIDE. Compaq Confidential Need to Know Required Writer: Ruben Garcia Project: Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers I/O Module Upgrade Guide Comments: Part Number: 216597-002 File Name: 216597-002 IO Module Upgrade Guide.doc Last Saved On: 3/15/01 1:49 PM 10 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers I/O Module Upgrade Guide Migrating the System To maintain the original system serial number when upgrading to the new I/O module, a serial number migration is necessary. The serial number migration process transfers the serial number and the Environmental Variables (EVs) of the existing server onto the new I/O module. To begin this process, follow these steps: 1. Insert the ProLiant 8500 I/O Module Upgrade Migration diskette into the server. 2. Boot the server. Two options will display on the screen: GPrepare for Migration GExit and Reboot System 3. Select Prepare for Migration by pressing the P key. The system will continue with "Collecting Migration Information..." When this process completes, the confirmation message, "Migration information collected and saved successfully" will display. The screen will also display the serial number of the server. Record the serial number to later verify that the serial number migrated successfully. 4. Leave the ProLiant 8500 I/O Module Upgrade Migration diskette in the server. IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading multiple servers, do not reuse the same ProLiant 8500 I/O Module Upgrade Migration diskette. Each upgrade kit is supplied with its own diskette. 5. Power down the server. NOTE: For more information regarding powering down the server and accessing the I/O board, refer to the server installation guide or maintenance and service guide supplied with the server. 6. Disconnect all power cords from the server.

Removing the Cable Management Arm IMPORTANT: All PCI expansion boards must be removed from the server to perform the upgrade. If you are performing Method 2, write down where the expansion boards are located. When replacing the expansion boards in the new I/O module, they must be placed in the same bus and slot location as they were in the existing I/O module. NOTE: Label all cables before disconnecting them. To remove the cable management arm: 1. Disconnect all cables from the PCI expansion boards (if installed). 2. Loosen the thumbscrew on the cable management arm bracket , and lift up on the bracket to disconnect the bracket from the server.
3. Swing the cable management arm out of the way. 2 1 Figure 1. Removing the cable management arm NOTE: For clarity, the cable management arm is not shown.

IMPORTANT: Data loss will occur if you are performing upgrade Method 2 and you continue with these procedures. SmartStart is the intelligent way to configure the server and to load the system software and operating system, thereby achieving a well-integrated server that ensures maximum dependability and supportability. To install the SmartStart for Servers CD: 1. Insert the SmartStart for Servers CD. 2. Reboot the server from the SmartStart for Servers CD. IMPORTANT: Running the System Erase Utility will cause the new service number to be erased. Before running this utility, confirm you have placed both of the new service number labels on the server. 3. Select the Run System Erase Utility icon. 4. Cycle power to the server when prompted. 5. After the boot, RBSU runs the memory check and then prompts you for the language and operating system to be used. 6. Follow the screen prompts. NOTE: During this process you will be prompted to load the operating system. 7. Install Compaq Insight Manager when prompted by SmartStart. When the CD-ROM busy LED indicator is illuminated, the SmartStart installation sequence begins. The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically creates a System Partition and installs the Compaq Server Diagnostics utility and other Compaq utilities in that partition. Refer to the Server Setup and Management pack for instructions on using SmartStart. The upgrade is now complete.
