Starting the Server

Turn ON the server by pushing the power

button. The power button will snap back

when released because ATX power systems

have an electrical ON/OFF switch unlike AT

systems which require a permanent ON or

OFF position. If the Power On LED does

not light, make sure the power cord is con-

nected to the system unit and to a working

grounded outlet.

When booting your server for the first time, hold the “Delete” key and enter

BIOS setup in order to make settings. ISA cards requires that you set “IRQ

XX Used by ISA : Yes” in BIOS PNP AND PCI SETUP in order for that

IRQ to be reserved for your ISA expansion card. You need to set “Boot

Sequence : A, C” in BIOS FEATURES SETUP in order to boot from a

floppy diskette to setup your hard disk. Insert a bootable floppy diskette and

select “Save & Exit Setup” from the BIOS main menu. Once your server

has properly booted, an “A:\>” prompt will appear. Use the boot diskettes

provided with the server operating system or create your own. If you are

planning to use RAID on your server, you need to install a RAID card, such

as the ASUS PCI-DA2100A and then run the RAID setup program from a

floppy diskette. Reboot your server with the operating system boot disk in

order to install drivers for your devices (such as CD-ROM and SCSI de-

vices) and install your server operating system. You may be prompted for

manufacturer supplied driver diskettes for each device on your server if

they are not included in the operating system setup drivers.
