TOPIC
This article covers additional procedures when performing a clean installation of all software on a Workgroup Server 9650.
DISCUSSION The Workgroup Server 9650 comes with an internal PCI JackHammer card which may need to be reset in conjunction with a clean installation of all server software. To reset the card startup from the Workgroup Server Software CD by holding down command-option-j at startup which will disable the card. Once the computer has started up from the CD open the Jackhammer control panel while holding down the command key. This will run a diagnostic on the card and update the flashROM. Here is the path to the JackHammer control panel: Workgroup Server Software/Software Installers/Workgroup Server Update/Workgroup Server Disk 1/Workgroup Server Pieces/PCI SCSI JackHammer? 1.2.2 Once this is done restart the Workgroup Server again from the CD-ROM disc by using either the Startup Disk control panel or pressing and holding the C key. Run Disk First Aid and make repairs if necessary. Update hard disk drivers using Drive Setup or AppleRAID (assuming the drives have not been formatted with some other utility). Now continue with the software installation by selecting the Perform Clean Installation checkbox in the installer application. If the server is going to run AppleShare IP, the minimum required components are the Mac OS and OpenDoc. OpenDoc is not required for AppleShare 4.x and earlier.
