Installation Poster for the Compaq ProLiant DL380
This poster illustrates the setup and configuration of Compaq ProLiant
™
Clusters for SCO UnixWare 7 using the U/300 kit.
This two-sided poster lists the general cluster hardware assembly steps and
is to be used with the more detailed steps listed in the Compaq ProLiant
Clusters for SCO UnixWare 7 U/300 Quick Install Guide for the Compaq
ProLiant DL380. The U/300 kit contains Quick Install images for more than
one ProLiant server; however, only the Quick Install image for the DL380 is
used with the Compaq ProLiant DL380 cluster configuration.
Cluster Hardware Setup
Use the following instructions to set up the hardware cluster components.
Setting Up the Nodes
●
Install the cluster interconnect.
●
Ensure that each node contains a 9.1-GB or larger disk drive.
●
Install the FC-AL Host Bus Adapter (HBA) into slot 3 of each node.
●
Install one Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave (GBIC-SW) module
into each FC-AL HBA in each node.
●
Install other approved devices.

Assembling the Rack
For detailed instructions regarding rack assembly, see the Compaq
ProLiant Clusters for SCO UnixWare 7 U/300 Quick Install Guide for the
Compaq ProLiant DL380.
Labeling the Components
Labeling the cables can prevent improper connections and other
problems and simplify cluster assembly and service. Label
each server with the correct node labels that are provided.
Also label the ends of the following cables:
●
ServerNet I or Ethernet cluster interconnect cables
●
Power cables
●
Keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables
●
Fibre Channel cables
●
Cluster Integrity (CI) serial cable
Cabling the Cluster Integrity Serial Cable
Connect the CI serial cable to serial port connector B on
each node. The CI serial cable is required for Ethernet and
ServerNet I cluster interconnects.
ServerNet I Cluster Interconnect Setup
Use the following instructions to set up a ServerNet I cluster
interconnect.
Installing the ServerNet I Adapter
Install the ServerNet I adapter into slot 1 of each server.
Cabling the ServerNet I Cluster Interconnect
To connect the ServerNet I cables:
1. Connect one end of the first cable to the X port of the
ServerNet I adapter in each node.
2. Connect one end of the second cable to the Y port of the
ServerNet I adapter in each node.
