Linux 5.2 Installation on an HP NetServer LPr or LC 3
Assumptions
The installation user script in this document assumes you are installing Red Hat Linux 5.2 on a
Hewlett Packard NetServer LPr or LC 3. In addition, you need at least one new SCSI hard drive
connected to the ultra-wide connector on the installed Symbios SYM53C895 SCSI controller (in
a Linux device scan, this controller shows up as NCR 538xx). If you have a NetRAID card, the
boot disk must be connected to the card with the NCR 538xx controller. Do not attempt to boot
Red Hat Linux 5.2 from any disk that is connected to a NetRAID card.
The networking protocol is assumed to be TCP/IP and the network adapter to be the bundled
NIC, HP D5013A Adapter (which shows up in a Linux device scan as the Intel 82558 network
interface controller). Refer to Red Hat documentation for details on network protocols and other
information, if necessary.
No tape drive is assumed in the server system. However, Hewlett Packard strongly recommends
integrating a backup device and running routine backups on any server that is put into production
use. In addition, no UPS (uninterruptable power supply) is assumed. As with tape drives, HP also
strongly recommends that a UPS be used with any server that contains critical data.
NOTE This installation user script assumes you are installing Red Hat
Linux 5.2 on a clean (or newly formatted) hard disk. If you are
installing on a disk which contains user data or programs, do not
use this script. Instead, use documentation that accompanies Red
Hat Linux 5.2 or contact the place where you got your software.
