Reconfiguring the AlphaServer IP Platform
4.1 Introduction
In order to upgrade the AlphaServer IP Platform or replace defective parts, you need to
remove and install components within the IP Platform. These components are within the
individual AlphaServer 1000A system, ISA bus expansion chassis, and modular storage shelf
BA35x-Sx subsystems. After you change any IP Platform component, you may want to verify
or modify the system configuration.
This chapter lists the components of the IP Platform subsystem that may need to be removed
or installed, and the procedure for viewing and modifying the subsystem configurations using
the IP Platform console terminal SRM commands.
Before you attempt to install third-party devices inside your system unit, check with the third-
party vendor to ensure that your system hardware and operating system software support the
device.
____________________________ Caution __________________________
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Use the antistatic wriststrap
located in the inside rear cabinet door pocket. Additionally, use an antistatic mat
when you handle internal components.
