I. Edit the names of all server CPUs attached to this subsidiary Base Unit. Each highlight
should turn green as you start typing. Press ENTER when finished with each name. Press
S to save all of the new names.
J. Press F2 to access the dedicated Selection Menu for that subsidiary Base Unit. Verify
that new names appear in the Selection Menu in green.
K. If you are configuring a second-tier subsidiary Base Unit, and there are any third-tier
Base Units attached to it, repeat steps C through J for a third-tier path. Press S to save the
configuration. Press F2 to activate the third-tier Selection menu and verify that the third-
tier Base Unit is properly configured: Select a channel port for the second-tier path and
press ENTER, then a channel port for the third-tier path and press ENTER, then a
channel port for a CPU attached to the third-tier Base Unit and press ENTER. If you can
properly access and operate the chosen CPU, the third-tier Base Unit is properly installed.
Note: Repeat step K for all remaining third-tier Base Units (if any) attached to this second-tier
Base Unit.

the second-tier Base Unit is properly configured: Select a channel port for the second-tier
path and press ENTER, then a channel port for a CPU attached to the second-tier Base
Unit and press ENTER. If you can properly access and operate the chosen CPU, the
second-tier Base Unit is properly installed.

master Base Unit.

the master Base Unit’s configuration as described in steps 6B through 6E of the section
Installing a Paragon II with a Single Base Unit, earlier in this chapter.
Important: If you rearrange a cascaded system or dismantle one and rebuild it
differently later, you must recycle power to each Base Unit in the new cascade. A soft
reset allows each Base Unit to retain all user and system profiles, and to auto-detect
the current status of its channel port and user ports. Follow the installation steps in
this section to install the new cascade, but when you power on each Base Unit (which
must be done in proper tier order, from base tier to upper tier), press FUNC on the
unit’s front panel until “Clear Database Hit Ent/ESC?” appears on the LCD panel. Press
the ENT and the ESC buttons sequentially to execute a partial reset on the database.
Please see Chapter 2: Installation, Paragon II Front Panel Display and Controls, “Power
Up” section for additional information.
