Installing Your System
2–17
If You Have Problems
If you do not see the power-up display or the server fails to bootstrap,
turn off the system unit and review each installation step. Repeat the
power-up procedure.
If the server fails to bootstrap, go to ‘‘Bootstrapping the Server’’.
If the problem continues, see Chapter 6.
NOTE
Check the position of the break enable switch on the rear of the
system unit (‘‘Identify the System Unit Ports and Connectors’’). It
should be in the down position.
Bootstrapping the Server
The following sections explain the standard and manual processes for
booting the server. Use the manual process only if the automatic process
fails.
Bootstrapping the Server Automatically
The InfoServer 100’s bootstrap program is programmed onto the system’s
internal RZ23 drive at the factory. After the power-up display, the server
automatically tries to bootstrap from the software image on the software
disc you placed in the right compact disc drive. The compact disc drive
light starts blinking, indicating that the InfoServer 100 system software
is initializing.
If the RZ23 drive does not respond or a new RZ23 unit is installed, use
the procedure in ‘‘If the InfoServer Fails to Boot Automatically’’.
NOTE
Do not halt the InfoServer while the software is initializing. If the
system is halted accidentally, use the procedure described in ‘‘If
the InfoServer Fails to Boot Automatically’’.
The InfoServer 100 system software automatically transfers the server
load image from the compact disc to the RZ23 drive. The image copy
takes less than 60 seconds. The compact disc light stops blinking when
the copy is complete. If the installation is successful, the console screen
displays the following message:
%ESS-I-CREATEDBOOT Boot partition created successfully.
