Preface About This Guide This guide tells you how to set up your Workgroup Server 9150/120 and connect it to a LocalTalk or Ethernet network. The guide also provides information about expanding your server, using software, and troubleshooting problems that may arise. Note: For easier reading, the Workgroup Server 9150/120 will be referred to as the Workgroup Server 9150 throughout the remainder of this guide.
Who should read this guide This guide is intended for the person who sets up the server and connects it to an existing network. You should be familiar with basic Macintosh terms, concepts, and techniques. If you’re new to the Macintosh environment, see Appendix B, “Getting Help,” after setting up your server system. You also need to know some details of your existing network to choose the appropriate procedures for connecting the server to your network.
m Appendix B, “Getting Help,” describes how to use the various kinds of onscreen help available in the Guide menu. m Appendix C, “Special Keys on Your Keyboard,” describes the uses of unique keys as shortcuts for menu commands and alternatives to using the mouse. m Appendix D, “Using Stereo Audio,” explains how to use your server’s stereo audio capabilities. How to use this guide Familiarize yourself with your server’s basic components. See the section “Your Server at a Glance” in Chapter 1.
For on-screen help and information There are several valuable sources of help and information that you can view directly on your server’s monitor screen, as described in this section. Workgroup Server Read Me It is important that you read the Workgroup Server Read Me file, which contains late-breaking information about your server. This file is located on the server’s hard disk and on the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc. You may want to print this file for future reference.
The Electronic Library folder contains electronic versions of the following documents: m this book, the Administrator’s Guide m the Technical Information booklet for the Workgroup Server 9150 m the Apple RAID Software Administrator’s Guide m other user’s guides for software that may have come with your server Other reference material In addition to this guide, you may need to consult the following sources of information.
Where to find answers When you have questions about using your server, there are several places you can look for answers. In this book Administr ator’s Gu ide Use this book to help you set up your server and learn about it, or to find solutions to problems. In the Guide menu The Guide menu (marked with the h icon) is your main source of information about system software. To learn how to get different kinds of help from the Guide menu, see Appendix B in this book.
1 Setting Up Your Server Setting up your server involves connecting a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, expanding your system to suit your needs, and connecting to the network. First, acquaint yourself with your server’s features, as shown in the first section, “Your Server at a Glance.” Also, be sure to read the section “Security Issues” for important information about protecting your server from unauthorized access.
Your server at a glance The following figure shows the basic components of your Workgroup Server 9150, assembled and connected to a network.
The ports on the back of the Workgroup Server 9150 and the icons that identify them are shown in the following figure. During setup, you’ll connect hardware to some of these ports. Monitor port Connects your monitor to your server. ™ Ethernet port Connects your server to a high-speed network. G SCSI port Connects your server to SCSI devices, such as hard disk drives, scanners, and printers. g Power plug W Modem port (GeoPort) Connects an external modem to your server.
Security issues The Workgroup Server 9150 lets you concentrate valuable or sensitive information on one system that can be physically isolated and more carefully monitored than would be possible if that information were stored on personal computers. Before you set up the server, you may want to consider three measures that you can take to secure the hardware components: physically isolating the system, using a locking cable to secure the system, and using the server’s key lock switch.
Security lock port F F By itself, a locking cable cannot prevent unauthorized use of the server, but it can prevent the server (and its peripheral devices if they are also secured by locking cables) from being removed. In combination with the key lock switch, a locking cable ensures that the system is secure physically and that only the person with the key can operate it locally. Using the key lock switch The key lock switch is a physical lock on the front panel of the Workgroup Server 9150.
Replacing lost keys Be sure to store the Workgroup Server 9150 keys in a safe place. Because lost keys are difficult to replace, you may want to make duplicates of your keys. If you lose both keys, the following solutions are available: m Contact a locksmith. Most locksmiths can create a new set of keys directly from the key lock switch. m Contact your Apple-authorized service provider for assistance. The service provider can order additional keys from the lock manufacturer.
Installing an expansion card or internal SCSI device If you purchased any expansion cards or additional internal SCSI devices for your server, install them now (see “Installing an Expansion Card” and “Connecting Hard Disks and Other SCSI Devices” in Chapter 3 for instructions). Otherwise, go on to the next section, “Connecting a Monitor.” Connecting a monitor Your server has one monitor port that accepts a monitor with a screen 16 inches or smaller (measured diagonally).
2 Connect the monitor’s power cord to the monitor. On some monitors, the cord is already attached. 3 Plug in the monitor’s power cord. Some power cords are designed to plug into the back of your server. You can also plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (an adapter may be needed). Note: Some monitors have to be connected to a grounded power outlet, not to the server’s power socket. Check the information that came with the monitor. Plug the monitor power cord into this socket.
Connecting the monitor cable After you plug in the monitor’s power cord, connect the monitor cable to the server’s monitor port. To connect the monitor cable: 1 Attach the monitor cable to the monitor. On some monitors, the cable is already attached. 2 Attach the monitor cable to the server’s monitor port. The monitor port is marked with the icon ™. Plug the monitor cable into the monitor port.
Connecting the mouse and keyboard You have a choice of several keyboards for your server. They are all connected the same way. 1 Plug the mouse cable into the port on either side of the keyboard. Most right-handed people prefer to use the mouse with their right hand; most left-handed people prefer to use the mouse with their left hand. Plug the mouse into the port on the side you prefer. The plug and the port are marked with the same icon (◊). Align the icons before you insert the plug.
Plugging in the server To plug in the server: 1 Plug the socket end of the server’s power cord into the recessed power plug (marked with the symbol ≤) on the back of the server. 2 Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded outlet or power strip. Choose a power outlet to which you have easy access. WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin.
Turning the server on Before turning the server on, make sure it is in its upright position; the Workgroup Server 9150 is not designed to run on its side. To turn on the server for the first time, follow these steps. 1 Turn on the monitor. See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power switch. On Apple monitors, the power switch has this icon: I. Note: You only need to turn on the monitor once if it is plugged into the server.
IMPORTANT When you turn the key to the “secure” position, which is marked Ç), you set the server to start up in remote-access mode, with a padlock icon (Ç which locks the keyboard, mouse, and floppy disk drive. Do not turn the key to the secure position now. For more information on server security, see “Security Issues” earlier in this chapter. 4 Turn on your server by pressing the Power key. You’ll find the Power key at the top of the keyboard. You can recognize this key by the triangle outline.
5 Check to see what’s on your screen, then click the OK button to dismiss the dialog box. m If you see a system message on the desktop, as shown in the following figure, your system software is already set up correctly. Startup disk icon Macintosh desktop (You may see more items on your desktop than those shown here.) Why the message about your network connection? The Workgroup Server system software is preset for Ethernet networks.
IMPORTANT If you need to turn off your server at any point, see “Turning the Server Off” later in this chapter. It is very important to use the correct procedure for shutting down your server before turning it off.
Turning the server off You need to turn off the server to perform the tasks in Chapter 2, “Connecting to the Network.” m Use the mouse to choose the Shut Down command from the Special menu. Choosing Shut Down readies the hard disk for a fast restart next time you turn on the server. You will be prompted to save any unsaved work on a disk before turning the power off. To turn on the server again, just press the Power On key on the keyboard.
2 Connecting to the Network The Workgroup Server 9150 contains built-in hardware and software for connecting the server to two types of networks: LocalTalk and Ethernet. You connect the server to a LocalTalk network through the printer port. The built-in Ethernet port on the Workgroup Server 9150 lets you connect the server to a high-speed Ethernet network.
Connecting to an Ethernet network The built-in Ethernet capabilities of your Workgroup Server 9150 allow you to connect to any standard Ethernet network using thin coaxial (or “coax”), 10BASE-T twisted-pair, or thick coaxial cables; fiber-optic media; or other standard Ethernet cables.
Connecting to thin coaxial Ethernet Follow this procedure to connect the server to an Ethernet network that uses thin coaxial cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple (or Applecompatible) thin coaxial transceiver and a thin coaxial cable. To connect the server to a thin coaxial network: 1 Make sure that the server is turned off. 2 Attach one end of a thin coaxial cable to one of the posts on the thin coaxial transceiver.
Connecting to twisted-pair Ethernet Follow this procedure to connect the server to a network that implements Ethernet over twisted-pair cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple (or Apple-compatible) twisted-pair transceiver and a twisted-pair patch cord with an RJ-45 telephone-style connector jack. You plug the transceiver into a standard wall plate that is connected to a centralized 10BASE-T hub. To connect the server to a twisted-pair network: 1 Make sure that the server is turned off.
Connecting to other types of Ethernet The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect the server to less-common types of industry-standard Ethernet media, such as thick coaxial or fiber-optic cable. If you are using the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter, you also need an Ethernet transceiver for your specific media type, and the transceiver must have a standard AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port on it.
Connecting to a LocalTalk network The Apple LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit DIN-8, available from your Appleauthorized dealer, lets you connect the server to an existing LocalTalk network by means of the printer port: Printer port icon Printer port To connect the server to a LocalTalk network: 1 Make sure that the server is turned off. 2 Attach the LocalTalk adapter to the printer port. 3 Plug one end of a LocalTalk cable into the LocalTalk adapter.
IMPORTANT After connecting to a LocalTalk network (if you have not also connected to Ethernet), each time you start up the server you’ll see a dialog box that indicates an error condition. This dialog box informs you that the system has made a temporary switch from EtherTalk (its preset network software connection) to LocalTalk. You will see this message until you change the default setting in the Network control panel.
If you need to switch the server’s network connection, follow these steps: 1 Turn on the server. 2 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the Network control panel. 3 Click the icon of the new network connection that you want to use. An alert box appears, warning you that you may be disconnected from any network services (such as network printers) that may be available with your current network connection.
3 Expanding Your Server and Connecting Other Equipment This chapter tells you how to expand the capabilities of your server by installing items internally and by connecting external devices.
The following figure shows you the location of the Workgroup Server 9150’s internal components. An external view of the server, depicting the ports to which you connect other devices, is shown in the section “Your Server at a Glance” in Chapter 1.
Installing an expansion card You can install printed circuit boards (called cards) for video and graphics applications, networking and communications, additional processing power, or other purposes. The cards fit into connectors, called expansion slots, inside the server. Your server has four expansion slots designed to accept NuBus™ cards and one slot that will accept a processor-direct slot (PDS) card. All five slots can be used simultaneously.
3 Remove the cover from the server. Press the two latches at the rear corners of the case and lift up the back of the cover. Lift the cover toward you and away from the case. The cover must clear the guides inside the front of the case. Latches WARNING Be careful that you don’t cut yourself on the sharp metal edges on the inside of the cover.
4 If your expansion card has an external connector, push out the cover plate that lines up with the slot you want to use. Press down on the clip at the top of the cover plate to release the plate. If you have difficulty releasing the plate, use a screwdriver to press the clip.
5 Touch the metal part of the power supply case inside the server to discharge static electricity. Always do this before you touch any parts or install components inside the server.
6 If you are installing a PDS card, remove the termination card from the PDS slot. Remember that the processor-direct slot must always be occupied by either the PDS termination card or a functional PDS expansion card. Be sure to keep the termination card in a safe place so that you can replace it if you remove the PDS expansion card. 7 Remove the card from its static-proof bag. Hold the card by its edges to avoid touching the connector on the bottom of the card.
8 Align the card over the expansion slot and press down firmly until the connector is seated. Note: If you are installing an expansion card that is taller than standard size, you need to remove the expansion card guide on the inside of the cover. 9 Replace the cover on the server. Note: Before you replace the cover, you may want to add an additional internal disk drive, as described in “Installing Internal Disk Drives” later in this chapter. 10 32 Plug the server’s power cord back into a power outlet.
Expanding memory Additional random-access memory (RAM) can be installed in your server. The Technical Information booklet that came with your server describes how much additional memory can be installed in the server. Memory for your server is provided in packages called RAM SIMMs. The SIMMs must be the correct type for your computer. They should be installed in pairs of the same size into paired slots in your computer.
Setting the SCSI ID number As discussed previously, the Workgroup Server 9150 contains two SCSI buses: an internal bus and an external bus. The devices on each bus must be assigned unique ID numbers between 0 and 6. That is, each device on the internal bus must be assigned a unique ID number between 0 and 6, and likewise for the external bus. This section tells you how to set the ID number for an Apple SCSI device.
For devices connected to the external bus, you can assign any number between 0 and 6, provided that each device is uniquely identified. 3 Locate the ID number switch on the back of your SCSI device. 4 4 SCSI ID switch 4 Push the ID switch repeatedly until the number you want appears. On some SCSI devices, the ID number switch is inside a small hole. Insert a straightened paper clip to push the switch.
Note: Your Workgroup Server 9150 has built-in SCSI termination, so be sure that there are no resistor packs on the drive(s) you are installing. To install an internal hard disk drive: 36 1 Shut down the server, disconnect any attached cables (including the power cord) and discharge static electricity by turning the lock key switch to the “secure” position and then back to the “on” position. 2 Attach a grounding wrist strap and be sure to use a static mat. 3 Remove the cover from the server.
5 Disconnect the SCSI cables from the existing drives.
6 38 Open the cable holder straps and disconnect the power cables from the drives already installed in the server.
7 Remove the bottom two drive bracket screws (the screws closest to the cable holder straps), then slide the drive assembly up and out of the server.
8 If you are installing a drive in slot C, D, or E, remove the screws that hold the top bracket of the drive assembly. Note that if you are adding a drive to slot A or B, you can install the drive without removing the top bracket. E D C B A 9 Make sure that you’ve installed any necessary SCSI ID jumpers or ID switches and that there are no resistor packs on the drives you are adding. (The Workgroup Server 9150 has built-in SCSI termination.
10 Attach the bottom of the drive to the bracket, using the four screw holes in the bracket plate. IMPORTANT Be sure to install drives in the order which they are lettered, filling slot B before slot C; slot C before slot D; and so on. Because of heat considerations, it’s important that you use slot E only after the other four slots are filled.
11 Slide the drive assembly back into the server and attach the screws.
12 Connect the power cables and the SCSI cables. Note that the lettered tags on the SCSI cables match the letters on the drive bracket. It is important that you place the cables in the cabinet in their original position. To accomplish this, fold the cables only where there are existing creases.
13 Secure the power cables with the cable holder straps and the cable guide, as shown in the following figure. This step is necessary in order to replace the lid. Cable holder strap Cable guide 14 44 Replace the cover and reassemble the server.
Connecting an external SCSI device The SCSI port for connecting external devices to the server is located on the server’s back panel. SCSI icon SCSI port To connect a SCSI device to your server: 1 Turn off your server. 2 Make sure the SCSI device is switched off. WARNING Do not connect or disconnect any device while the device or your server is turned on. Doing so could damage the device, your server, or both. 3 Make sure the device has its own, unique ID number between 0 and 6.
4 Use a SCSI cable to connect the device either to the server’s SCSI port or to the last SCSI device already in the chain. If the device is the first or only one you’re connecting, use a SCSI system cable to connect it to the server’s SCSI port. If the device is not the first one, use a SCSI peripheral interface cable to connect it to the last device in the chain.
5 Make sure that only the last device in the SCSI chain has a terminator. To ensure accurate transmission of information, a terminator must be at each end of a SCSI chain. Your server, which is the first device in the external SCSI chain, has a built-in terminator. Some external SCSI devices from manufacturers other than Apple have a built-in terminator. (Check the information that came with the device.
Installing a device driver A device driver is software that lets the server communicate with a particular SCSI device. Note: If you have set up your server and connected additional devices, but not yet turned the server on, return to the section “Plugging In the Server” in Chapter 1 before installing a device driver. To install a driver: m Start up your server, if necessary, and drag the driver icon to the System Folder icon on your startup disk.
Connecting a printer Your server has a printer port, which you use to connect a printer to your computer. Printer port icon Printer port The printer port accepts either a direct cable connection (to printers such as the StyleWriter II) or a network cable connection (to printers such as a LaserWriter Pro or LaserWriter Select). Follow the instructions that came with your printer when connecting it to your server. A printer can also be connected to the modem port (GeoPort).
Connecting a trackball or other input device Your server has an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port, which you use to connect the mouse, the keyboard, and other input devices such as a trackball, a bar-code reader, or a graphics tablet. ADB port icon ADB port You can usually connect up to three ADB devices in a chain to a single port. The exact number depends on how much power the devices require. IMPORTANT The total power used by all ADB devices connected to your server must not exceed 500 milliamperes (mA).
To connect the microphone: m Plug the microphone’s connector into the sound input port (marked with the symbol X) on the back of the server. See “Connecting an Audio Device” in Appendix D of this book for more information about the sound input port. Connecting a GeoPort Telecom Adapter or modem Your server has a port, called the GeoPort, which is a serial port designed for use with devices such as the GeoPort Telecom Adapter.
4 Using Software With Your Server This chapter provides important information you need to know about using your Workgroup Server 9150 with application programs. For instance, although your server is compatible with most programs intended for use with Macintosh computers, certain programs are designed especially for Power Macintosh computers. These kinds of programs take best advantage of your server’s speed. In addition, the order in which certain programs start up affects a server’s performance.
Using Power Macintosh programs Programs designed for Power Macintosh computers will provide improved performance for your server. However, to get the full benefit of this software, you need to know about two key issues—virtual memory and shared libraries. Virtual memory Virtual memory is a feature of Macintosh computers that lets you use space on a hard disk as additional memory. This feature helps you run large programs when the server does not contain enough random-access memory (RAM).
Using older Macintosh programs If you experience problems using an older Macintosh program, it may be incompatible with your Power Macintosh. You may be able to use your older program if you change the Memory Manager setting in your Memory control panel. Follow these steps: 1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the Memory control panel. 2 Turn off Modern Memory Manager. Click here to turn off Modern Memory Manager.
Using server application programs Specific server application programs or services, such as AppleShare, AppleSearch, Apple Remote Access, or Apple RAID Software, may have been included with your server. Review the documentation that came with the software before you install these services; you may be required to perform special procedures that can affect your server system before you use a particular service.
To set up your server to restart server application programs automatically: 1 Create an alias for each program that you want the server to start automatically. You create an alias by selecting the icon of the program on the desktop and choosing Make Alias from the File menu. 2 Drag the aliases to the Startup Items folder, located in the System Folder on your startup disk.
Additional capabilities for your server system You have the option to install two programs included with your server that provide new capabilities for your system software: m PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services m QuickDraw GX, which gives your computer more powerful printing capabilities Because these programs are not designed specifically for use on server systems, they may reduce your server’s performance.
5 Using a DAT Drive and Tape Cassettes You need to read this chapter only if your server includes an internal tapebackup unit. The internal 3.5-inch DDS-2 DAT drive and accompanying software can perform full or partial backup and restore procedures for all of the data on your hard disks. In addition, the drive automatically performs error correction and data compression of the files that you back up and restore. The error-correction feature helps ensure a high level of data integrity.
Compatible tapes Your internal DAT (digital audio tape) drive is compatible with MRS-quality DDS (digital data storage) tape cassettes. MRS (Media Recognition System) cassettes are the highest-quality digital data tape available. Your internal tape drive requires this level of quality to perform backup operations successfully. See your Apple-authorized service provider for more MRS-quality DDS tape cassettes or their compatible substitutes.
There are two conditions that indicate the self-test has failed. If the light on the right flashes amber, you may need to clean the tape-drive head as described in the section “Cleaning the Tape-Drive Heads” later in this chapter. Or, if a tape is loaded in the tape drive, a flashing amber light may indicate that the tape is worn and needs to be replaced.
Status lights Located next to the tape drive opening are two lights that inform you of the status of tape operations. The light on the left is the tape light, and the light on the right is the clean light. A solid green tape light indicates normal operation; a solid amber clean light indicates a warning condition. A flashing green tape light indicates activity between the tape drive and the SCSI bus.
Removing tape cassettes You can remove a tape cassette at any time by pressing the eject button located under the tape slot on the right side. You should not press the eject button while the tape is in use. Check the Retrospect Remote (or other backup utility’s) documentation to learn about additional methods for ejecting cassettes while using the backup software.
To minimize the chance of condensation, adhere to the environmental requirements described in the Technical Information booklet and follow these general cassette guidelines: m Use tape cassettes at temperatures between 10˚ C (50˚ F) and 35˚ C (95˚ F). m If you expose the tape cassettes to temperatures outside the operating limits, you can stabilize them by leaving them in the proper operating temperature for a minimum of two hours.
6 Troubleshooting When you run into trouble While you’re using your server, it’s possible that you may experience a problem such as the pointer “freezing” on the screen, or you may see an error message or even a bomb icon. If you have trouble with your server, take a moment to review the solutions to common problems listed in this chapter.
m If you were typing text and were not able to save it before the problem occurred, you can write down the parts of the text still visible on the screen so that some of your work will be easy to replace. m Ask other Macintosh users about the problem you’re having; they may have a solution for it. m Find out what actions users were performing on the server (such as copying large files, launching programs on the server, or installing programs over the network).
4 If pressing the reset switch does nothing, turn off your server using the key lock switch, wait at least 10 seconds, then turn it on again. 5 If the key lock switch doesn’t turn off the server, unplug your server. If you suspect that the problem is with a peripheral device, such as a printer or external hard disk, turn it off for 10 seconds or more, then turn it on again and restart the server.
A disk icon with a blinking question mark appeared when you started your server. The blinking question mark indicates that your server cannot find system software. You may need to repair a damaged disk, or reinstall system software. m Your server may be having a problem recognizing a SCSI device. Turn off external SCSI devices and restart.
A “sad Macintosh” icon appeared and the server won’t start up. Your server cannot start up because of a problem with the system software or the server hardware. m Eject any floppy disks (or CD-ROM discs) by turning off the server and then holding down the mouse button while you turn the server on again. Try starting up with a different startup disk (such as the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc).
The server starts up from the wrong hard disk, or the hard disk icon does not appear on the desktop. The startup disk may be slow to start up. Restart the server. During startup, your server’s operating system finds and mounts attached SCSI devices that are up and running within 20 seconds. Some very large hard disk drives (such as 2-gigabyte drives) may take longer than 20 seconds to come up to speed and therefore may not be recognized by the operating system when the server is first turned on.
Your server can’t read a floppy disk. If you see a message that a floppy disk is unreadable, try one of the following: m Insert the disk again—sometimes that’s all it takes. m If the disk has never been used, you may simply need to initialize it. See the instructions for preparing a disk listed in the “Files” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide menu. m Insert the disk in another computer’s disk drive.
m Restart the server with a different startup disk (such as the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc). If the mouse works, reinstall system software on your startup disk. m If the problem recurs, it may be due to an incompatible program. Make sure that all programs, desk accessories, and system extensions you’re using are compatible with the system software.
A dialog box with a “bomb” icon appears. Your system has a software problem. m Write down what you were doing when the dialog box appeared, and write down the number on the message, if there is one. m Restart your server (see “Start Over” earlier in this chapter). Most software problems are temporary and restarting usually corrects the problem. m If the problem recurs, check the startup disk and program you are using when the message appears.
You experience problems using an older Macintosh program. Some older Macintosh programs are not completely compatible with the Power Macintosh computers. m Open the Memory control panel and turn off Modern Memory Manager. For more detailed instructions, see “Using Older Macintosh Programs” in Chapter 4 of this guide. You experience problems using a document from a DOS computer.
Normally, you see this message if you try to open a document that came from another computer with software that is different from yours. m Some documents can be opened by more than one application program. Try starting a program that you think might be able to open the document, then choose the Open command from the program’s File menu to try to open the document. (Or drag the document to the program’s icon. If the program can open the document, the program’s icon highlights.
When you need to reinstall system software System software is the set of programs and other files that your server uses to start itself up, keep track of your files, and run the application programs you use. System software is kept in the folder called the System Folder. When you turn on your server, it looks for a startup disk, which is a disk that contains the system software.
Starting up from the CD-ROM drive You can use the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc to start up your server from the built-in CD-ROM drive (even if your startup disk is damaged). 1 With your server turned on, place the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc in the CDROM drive’s tray with the label facing up, and close the tray. 2 Choose Restart from the Special menu. 3 Immediately press and hold down the “C” letter key. Release the key after the server starts up.
About using the Installer program Before you use the Installer, you need to start up your server by following the instructions in either “Starting Up From the CD-ROM Drive” or “Starting Up From the Floppy Drive”earlier in this chapter. How you start using the Installer depends upon where it is located: m If you started up from the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc, open the folder named System Software Installers and review the instructions in the Read Me file before using the Installer programs there.
2 Check that the destination disk indicated in the Installer is the one on which you want to install system software. If not, click the Switch Disk button until the correct disk name appears. This is the disk on which system software will be installed. Click to indicate a different disk. Note: If you are using the Installer on a hard disk that doesn’t have system software, the explanatory text on-screen will be slightly different than what’s shown in this example. 3 Click Install.
Creating startup floppy disks You can create Macintosh system software floppy disks from the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc. This allows you to have a backup copy of the system software from which you can start up the server and reinstall the system software. You need to use the Disk Copy program to make a copy of the system software. (Dragging system software files to floppy disks does not work because the Installer expects the files to be in certain places on the floppy disks.
6 Click the name of a disk image, then click Open. In a few moments a message appears near the top of the window, indicating that the disk image has been loaded. 7 Click Make A Copy. 8 When you see a message telling you to insert a disk, insert a floppy disk. If the disk already contains information, you’re asked whether you want to replace the contents of the disk. Click Duplicate if you want to erase the information on the disk and replace it with a copy of system software.
What to do if your server’s performance decreases If you notice a decrease in your server’s speed and general performance after adding special software (a control panel, a system extension, or a custom utility), it may be because your special software does not work well with Power Macintosh computers. To see if this is the problem, use the Extensions Manager control panel to turn off individual programs and extensions, one at a time, and then restart the server.
IMPORTANT Do a clean installation of system software only if you are sure it’s acceptable to remove any special control panels, extensions, or custom utilities you have added to your System Folder. These items will not work when moved out of the System Folder. Note: You may have to reinstall some server application programs (including network services) if you do a clean installation; see your server application program documentation for details.
4 Click Repair to begin testing and, if necessary, repairing the startup disk. 5 When the program is finished, choose Quit from the File menu. 6 Double-click the Apple HD SC Setup icon. WARNING If your startup disk has been formatted for use with Apple RAID Software, do not use HD SC Setup to update the disk. See the Apple RAID Software Administrator’s Guide for information about repairing disks containing RAID volumes.
16 When you see a message reporting that the installation was successful, if you installed software on the startup disk, click Restart; otherwise, click Quit. 17 Copy any special software items from the Previous System Folder (automatically created by the Installer) to the clean System Folder one item at a time, restarting the server after copying each item.
3 In the Installer Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue. 4 Check that the destination disk named in the dialog box is the server’s startup disk. If not, click the Switch Disk button until the correct disk name appears. 5 Choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu. 6 Click to select the Multimedia Software checkbox and then click Install.
Try these suggestions first If you can’t start up from a hard disk or you don’t see the hard disk icon on the desktop, try the following: m If the hard disk is internal, shut down your Macintosh, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn it on again. m If the hard disk is external, make sure that it is turned on and that its cable is connected firmly; then restart the Macintosh. m If the hard disk is your startup disk, start up with a different startup disk.
4 Click Drive until the name of the disk you want to test appears at the bottom of the dialog box. SCSI ID number of the currently selected hard disk Name of the currently selected hard disk 5 Click Test. 6 When a message tells you that testing is complete, click Quit. If the test reveals a problem, you may be able to correct it by using Disk First Aid or another disk repair program (see the instructions in the next section).
1 If you are repairing your startup disk, start up your server from the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc; otherwise, just insert the CD-ROM disc. If you need instructions for starting up from the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc, see “Starting Up From the CD-ROM Drive” in the section “Reinstalling System Software” earlier in this chapter. 2 Open the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc icon and then open the Utilities folder. 3 Open the Disk First Aid icon. The Disk First Aid window opens.
If Disk First Aid cannot correct the problem m Try repairing the disk again. Sometimes repeating the process corrects the problem. m Use another disk repair or recovery program. Some disk repair programs let you recover information from a damaged disk. m Consult a computer repair specialist for help. m Once you have recovered all the information you can, erase (reinitialize) the disk.
Appendix A Safety, Maintenance, and Health Information Important server safety instructions For your own safety and that of your equipment, always take the following precautions. Turn off the server and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) if any of the following conditions exists: m The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged. m You spill something into the case. m Your server is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture.
Be sure that you always do the following: m Keep your server away from sources of liquids, such as wash basins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. m Protect your server from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on. m Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your server into a wall socket. m Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others. m Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your system.
m Turn off your server and all its components before connecting or disconnecting any cables to add or remove any component. Failure to do so could seriously damage your equipment. m Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Handling the keyboard Take care not to spill any liquid on the keyboard. If you do, turn off your server immediately. m If you spill liquid that is thin and clear, unplug the keyboard, turn it upside down to let the liquid drain out, and let it dry for 24 hours at room temperature. If, after you take these steps, the keyboard doesn’t work, take it to an Apple-authorized service provider for repair.
Ejecting a disk For instructions on ejecting a floppy disk, a CD-ROM disc, or a removable media disk, see the “Disks” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu. If you can’t eject a floppy disk If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following in order: m Hold down the x (Command) and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on your keyboard to eject a disk in the internal disk drive. m Shut down the server.
Cleaning your equipment Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your server and its components: m Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the server’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. m Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives. Cleaning the server case To clean the case, do the following: 1 Turn off the server and disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.) 2 Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.
If you have an older mouse, you may need to press the plastic ring (rather than turn it) to disengage it. 3 Turn the mouse right side up with one hand and catch the ring and the ball with your other hand. 4 Clean the three small rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab moistened with water. Rotate the rollers to clean all around them. 5 Wipe the mouse ball with a clean, soft, dry, and lint-free cloth.
Health-related information about computer use Muscle soreness, eye fatigue, and other discomforts and injuries sometimes associated with using computers can occur from performing any number of activities. In fact, misuse of the same muscles during multiple activities can create a problem that might not otherwise exist.
RSIs did not suddenly arise when computers were invented; tennis elbow and writer’s cramp, for example, are two RSIs that have been with us for a long time. Although less common than other RSIs, one serious RSI discussed more often today is a wrist problem called carpal tunnel syndrome, which may be aggravated by improper use of computer keyboards. This nerve disorder results from excessive pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist to the hand.
Arranging your office Here are some guidelines for adjusting the furniture in your office to accommodate your physical size and shape. m An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height of the chair so that your thighs are horizontal and your feet flat on the floor. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.
m Arrange the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm). m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead lights and windows. You may want to use a tiltable monitor stand.
What about electromagnetic emissions? There has been recent public discussion of the possible health effects of prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic fields. Such fields are associated with electromagnetic sources such as television sets, electrical wiring, and some household appliances—as well as computer monitors. Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of government regulatory agencies and respected health organizations.

Appendix C Special Keys on Your Keyboard Your server keyboard contains certain special keys that typewriter keyboards don’t have. Many of these keys allow you to give commands to the server without using the mouse. For example, in many application programs, pressing the x (Command) key at the same time as the Q key is often an alternative method of quitting a program. The following table describes what you can do with the special keys on your keyboard.

You can assign commands or action sequences to function keys with special utility programs.
Appendix D Using Stereo Audio Your server produces stereo sound and provides several options for highquality audio. When an audio device is connected to the sound input port, you can hear or record the incoming sound on the server. When an audio device is connected to the sound output port, you can record the sound produced by the server or play that sound through external speakers. This appendix explains how to connect stereo equipment to your Workgroup Server 9150.
About your server’s sound ports Your server can play and record stereo sound from a variety of sources. To provide or reproduce stereo sound, you can connect audio devices to the line input or sound input ports, and to the sound output port on the server. You can also use the server’s internal CD-ROM drive to play audio compact discs (CDs). The following figure shows where the line input, sound input, and sound output ports are located on your Workgroup Server 9150.
Connecting an audio device To play or record sound with your server, you can attach a microphone, amplifier, tape recorder, or a pair of speakers. Follow these steps to connect an audio device to the server. 1 Make sure that the audio device has a cable with a stereo miniplug connector (or, if you’re using the line input ports, phono connectors). 2 Place the audio device near the server. 3 Shut down the server and turn off the audio device.
2 Open the Sound control panel and choose Sound In from the pop-up menu. The Sound control panel is in the Control Panels folder in the Apple (K) menu. The Built-in icon (the preset choice) stands for the computer. Click the Options button to see other choices. 3 To change the selected sound input device, click the Options button. The Input Source options appear.
Follow these steps to direct the server’s sound to an output device: 1 If you want to use an external device for sound output, connect it to the sound output port, following the instructions given earlier in “Connecting an Audio Device.” 2 Open the Sound control panel and choose Sound Out in the pop-up menu. The Sound control panel is in the Control Panels folder in the Apple (K) menu. The Built-in icon (the preset choice) stands for the computer.
Recording an alert sound Although your server can produce stereo sound, the server records alert sounds in the same way as other Macintosh models: in 8-bit mono sound, at a sample rate of 22.254 kHz. This makes the alert sounds you record compatible with all Macintosh computers. For instructions on recording a sound, see the “Sound” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
2 Turn off the server. 3 Plug a stereo miniplug into the sound output port on the server. 4 Plug a stereo miniplug into the Audio In socket on one of the speakers. If the speakers take a dual-plug cable, connect both plugs. 5 Connect the speakers together with speaker wires, if necessary. 6 Turn on the server. Now you hear the computer’s sound through the external speakers. Note: To control the volume of your external speakers, open the Sound control panel and choose Volumes in the pop-up menu.
