Introduction

This section introduces the Model B132L/B160 to a Model B180L upgrade.

Upgrading your Model B132L/B160L to a Model B180L

Your upgrade kit contains a Main Tray Assembly, which, when installed,

upgrades your Model B132L/B160L to a Model B180L.

NOTE: Installing this upgrade in your Model B132L or Model B160 does not affect the

regulatory and safety classifications or approvals. The upgraded system meets all of

the regulatory and safety standards listed in Appendix A of your original owner’s

guide.

Installation Prerequisites

Before the Model B132L/B160L to a Model B180L Upgrade can be

performed, the current system must have an operating system version HP-

UX 10.20 with Additional Core Enhancements (ACE) or greater. The

graphics card option being moved to the new system must also be on the

supported list of cards. If it is not, use the built-in EG graphics or upgrade

the graphics card option to a supported conﬁguration listed in “Prepare Your

Workstation”.

Upgrade Instructions Overview

The general steps for performing the upgrade are outlined as follows and

should be performed in the sequence listed. Refer to the individual sections

of this guide for the actual step-by-step procedures for upgrading the Model

B132/B160 to a Model B180.

1Prepare your workstation

• Update or arrange to have your operating system software updated to HP-UX

10.20 with ACE. This can be a complex task and takes some time and plan-

ning.

If you are at HP-UX 10.20, you can check the HP-UX revision level by run-

ning swlist as superuser.

NOTE: You must back up your system before updating your operating system.

• Determine and WRITE DOWN the graphics configuration of your system.

• Determine and WRITE DOWN the LAN ID of your system. You will need

to re-enter it into the new system board

• Run the bclass_upgrade program.

• Power off the workstation and any peripherals.

• Unplug the power cords and disconnect any peripheral cables

• Remove the floor stand

2Remove the main tray assembly

3Remove the storage tray assembly

4Transfer memory modules from the old main tray to the new main tray assembly

5Install additional memory modules on to the new main tray if needed

6Transfer the optional EGRAM module from the old main tray to the new main

tray

7Transfer the optional FWSCSI module from the old main tray to the new main

tray

8Transfer the power supply from the old tray into the new tray.

9Install the storage tray on the new main tray assembly

10 Place the new main tray assembly into the workstation chassis

11 Reinstall the ﬂoor stand

12 Connect power cords and cables, restart the workstation, and enter the LAN ID

when prompted

Prepare Your Workstation

1Verify that the HP-UX operating system is at a minimum level of 10.20 with

ACE. If the workstation is running a version of HP-UX lower than 10.20ACE,

update the operating system software before continuing. This software must be

loaded before performing this upgrade. RUN SWLIST AS IN C_CLASS

2Verify that the graphics card(s) installed in your Model B132L/B160L are sup-

ported on the Model B180L. The /usr/bin/graphinfo command will display the

current graphics card(s) information.

The following graphics options are supported:

• VISUALIZE-8, 24

• VISUALIZE EG, Dual EG

3Determine the workstations LAN ID by entering the following at the prompt:

/usr/sbin/lanscan

The output is similar to the following:

Hardware Station Dev Hardware Net-Interface NM Encapsulation Mjr

Path Address lu State NameUnit State ID Methods Num

2.0.2 0x08000970ECC0 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER 52

After you install the new main tray and power on the system for the ﬁrst time,

you are prompted for the LAN ID. Record the information here so you have a

record of it:

EtherLAN ID ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___-___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

You must supply the dash (-) between the ﬁrst six digits and the last six digits.

For example, the above address is 080009-70ECC0

4If you are going to install additional memory on the new main tray assembly, de-

termine the current memory configuration for your workstation by using the in-

formation described in Appendix D, of your Owners Guide, “Boot Console

Interface”.

5Next, you need to run the upgrade utility program to automatically convert the

hardware paths stored in the system’s I/O configuration file. You should only run

thisutilityifyouaregoingtocompletetherestofthehardwareupgradedescribed

in this document.

Prepare Your Workstation

Enter the following command to run the upgrade utility program:

/usr/sam/lbin/bclass_upgrade

The upgrade utility prompts you to conﬁrm that you want to continue, as fol-

lows:

Are you ready to perform the upgrade (y/n [n])?

Enter Y.

The upgrade utility proceeds to modify the I/O conﬁguration information that is

stored in the ﬁles /etc/ioconﬁg and /stand/ioconﬁg to be compatible with the

upgraded system. The original I/O conﬁguration information is saved in the

backup ﬁle /etc/ioconﬁg.pre_upgrade.

NOTICE: The bclass_upgrade utility modiﬁes the hardware conﬁguration so that it

is incompatible with a Model B132L or B160L system. After running the

utility, you must continue with this upgrade or restore the conﬁguration

information from /etc/ioconﬁg.pre_upgrade to /etc/ioconﬁg and /stand/

ioconﬁg.

6Power off your workstation by pressing the power button on the front panel.

When you press the power button, the workstation automatically shuts down the

operating system before it powers off the system.

If your system has supported graphics adapters installed, continue with step 5, other-

wise skip to step 9.

7When the workstation has completed shutting down and powering off, power it

back on.

8If a message to press Esc to stop the boot process is displayed, then press Esc.

This stops the boot process and brings you to the Boot Console Handler prompt.

9Enter the following command to display the console path setting:

pa con

The graphics path for the default console device is displayed. Make note of this

information below for later use.

Console Path: ________________________________________

Prepare Your Workstation

For example, “Graphics(0)”

10 Enter the following command to display the monitor type setting:

co mo

The monitor type for the default console device is displayed. Write down the

graphics number and monitor type.

For example, Monitor type: “Graphics(0)” type 12

11 Power off your workstation by pressing the power button on the front panel.

12 When the workstation has completed shutting down and powering off, power off

the monitor, and any peripheral devices connected to the workstation.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure you unplug the power cable from the wall

outlet and the system unit before proceeding any further.

CAUTION The internal components of your workstation are susceptible to mechanical and

electrostatic shock. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following

precautions during the installation procedure

•Stand on a static-free mat

•Wearastatic-groundingwrist strap to ensure that anyaccumulatedelectrostatic charge

discharges from your body to ground. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by fol-

lowing the instructions on the package that contains the strap. Be sure to attach one

end of the strap to the system chassis

13 Unplug the power cord of the system unit, the monitor, and any peripheral devic-

es from ac wall outlets.

14 Unplug the power cord from the back of the system unit.

15 Remove the floor stand from the system unit, as shown in Figure 1, if applicable.

16 Remove the monitor from on top of the system unit and set it aside, if applicable.

CAUTION Removal of the monitor from on top of the system unit is to prevent

possible damage to the system unit or the monitor while performing this

upgrade.

17 Lay the system unit on a flat surface, such as a table top.

18 Attach a static-grounding wrist strap to bare metal on the back of the system unit.
