WORKSTATION INSTALLATION SUMMARY
Install an 3 or 16-bit network interface card (NIC) with a auto-boot ROM in an
option slot.
Load the remote workstation boot files onto the file server. Typically, this is
done at another attached workstation, using a floppy drive to load the
necessary boot files. Instructions for this procedure can be found in the
section of your network documentation that addresses this type of installation.
Attach the diskless workstation NIC to the network using the appropriate
cable.
When the workstation is booting, and a local hard drive with a bootable
partition is present, the system will ask if you want to boot from the network. If
"N" is selected, the local hard drive will be used to boot. If 'Y' is selected, the
system will look for a file server. If no file server can be found, it will display
an "Error finding server" message, and will make additional attempts every few
seconds until a server is found.
FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION
Floppy disk drives are inserted into the drive bays, without FDD guide rails,
using four screws to secure each drive.
Two floppy drive cables are included. A read/write cable (standard seven wire
twist) and a read-only cable (identified by heat shrink tubing located near the
connector that connects to the main board).
Install the standard diskette drive cable, if you want the system to be able to
both read and write data to a diskette inserted in the drive.
