This section describes how to configure a cluster with new equipment. For upgrading existing nonclustered systems to a cluster configuration, see Appendix A, “Upgrading to a Cluster Configuration.”

NOTE: Before installing the PowerEdge Cluster FE100, ensure that your site power is adequate to handle the power requirements of the cluster equipment. Contact your Dell sales representative for information about your region’s power requirements.

If your PowerEdge Cluster FE100 is factory-installed with Windows NT Server, Enter- prise Edition, then installation in this case involves setting up and cabling the hardware, setting some configuration options, setting network addresses, and per- forming functionality checks on the system.

NOTE: Hardware installation should be performed only by trained service technicians.

The following is a comprehensive list of the steps required to install and configure a PowerEdge Cluster FE100:

1.Add NICs, host bus adapters, PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controllers (optional), SCSI hard disk drives, Fibre Channel disk drives, and so on to the existing system hardware to meet the requirements for a PowerEdge Cluster FE100.

2.Cable the system hardware for clustering.

3.Setting up the internal SCSI hard-disk drives.

4.Low-level configuration of the QLogic host bus adapters.
