1. Basic P91 Server Setup

This chapter identifies the basic parts of the P91 (Dell PowerEdge 2800 server with Intel Xeon processor) and explains how to determine which interface cards and internal/external drives are

used with each P91 server.

This chapter contains all the information necessary to set up the P91 server.

The P91 servers are shipped preconfigured from Invensys with all cards, internal hard drives, and Windows Server 2003 operating system installed. Before performing any procedures described inthis document, you must determine the following information about your P91 server:

♦ Type of software installed (process engineering station or process operator station)

♦ Number of monitors used with the P91 server

♦ Amount of RAM installed

♦ Size of internal system hard drive

♦ Size of internal Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) or Redundant Array ofIndependent Disks (RAID) hard drive

♦ Size of tape drive (if present)

♦ Type of Ethernet card(s) (if present)

♦ Available I/O interface cards (if present).

Determining Your P91 Server’s Configuration You can determine basic information about your P91 server (described at the beginning of this

chapter) from the P91 server’s P-Code.There are two P-Code labels on the P91 server; one on the top (tower) or one on the right-sidepanel (rack mount).

A P-Code is a production code used to identify a machine and its hardware configuration. The P-Code can be found on a label on the top (tower) or on the right-side panel (rack mount) of theP91 server. The label is illustrated in Figure 1-1. The information found on this label lets youidentify:

♦ P-Code for your P91 server

♦ Style type (A)

♦ Revision level.

NOTE

If you are unable to locate your P-Code, or you have made modifications to yourmachine without updating the P-Code, contact 1-866-746-6477, or outside theU.S., 508-549-2424 for assistance.

P91 Server Interface CardsBased on the P91 server’s P-Code, you should know which cards are installed in your P91server. You should be familiar with your P91 server’s ports and external features, as described in“Rear Panel Connectors” on page 5, and your P91 server’s internal configuration, as described in“Determining Your P91 Server’s Configuration” on page 1.

Before installing any software on your P91 server, ensure all the P91 server’s interface cards areinstalled properly and all peripherals are connected to the P91 server. To install a card in your P91server, refer to Chapter 4 “Installing Hardware Upgrades”. This chapter provides information on which interface cards are available for installation in your P91 server and how to install new cards

and card drivers (if required).

Setting CMOS BIOS ParametersThe CMOS BIOS parameters for the P91 server are preset at the factory before shipment of theserver; the parameters in this section are provided for reference. If these parameters are not config-ured as described in this section, you may encounter problems when using your P91. The Inter-rupt Request numbers (IRQ) are set by the BIOS and need not be changed by the user.

Touchscreen Cabling ConnectionsSome GCIO setups use touchscreens and some do not. USB touchscreens do not require aGCIO. The GCIO address for touchscreen is 2 for the primary GCIO. However, for non-touch-screen, the GCIO addresses are P for the primary and S for the secondary GCIO. The primaryGCIO connection can be configured as either touchscreen or non-touchscreen, and the secondaryGCIO connection is configured independently as non-touchscreen.

The optional touchscreen feature is available with 20-inch flat panel LCD monitor.Proceed as follows:

1. Make the cable connections as shown in Figure 1-6 or Figure 1-7.

2. If you are using a GCIO module, locate the address selector switches at the rear of theGCIO interface module (Figure 1-6).

3. Determine, from the human interface software configuration information for yoursystem, the address associated with the touchscreen:

♦ Primary touchscreen GCIO address = 2

♦ Primary non-touchscreen GCIO address = P

♦ Secondary address = S for non-touchscreen.4. Using the chart printed on the underside of the GCIO interface module as a guide, set

the address switches for the required address.

If you are configuring a local USB touchscreen or a serial touchscreen, make the connectionsshown in Figure 1-6. Refer to Table 1-7 for descriptions and lengths of the cables in each cablegroup referenced in the diagram.

If you are using a remote USB touchscreen as an input device, install the P0972NZ USB extenderkit, as shown in Figure 1-7. Refer to Table 1-9 for descriptions and lengths of the cables in eachcable group referenced in the diagram.

WARNING!

Do not attempt a touchscreen calibration from a remote client. To prevent remoteclient sessions from requesting a touchscreen calibration after login, calibrate thetouchscreen on the server at all screen resolutions remote clients may use.

On the server head with a touchscreen, change the server’s screen resolution to1024x768 and perform a touchscreen calibration from the Touchware software.Change the server screen resolution to 800x600 and perform a touchscreen calibra-tion from the Touchware software. Perform this step for every screen resolution thatremote clients may use. Doing so prevents the Touchware software from requesting

a calibration on the remote desktop clients.

You can also check the box next to Do not remind me when display settingschange and click OK the first time the Touch Screen Calibration Needed popupappears.

Multi-Port Serial Card to Modbus Connection

NOTE

Some versions of I/A Series software may not support Modbus connections.

The Multi-Port Serial card provides 4-serial COM lines for external hardware. A Multi-Port serialcable (part number P0922MZ) must be connected to the Multi-Port Serial card to provide thephysical connections for the additional COM lines. The multi-port serial card requires a driver;refer to “Installing the PE2800 Multi-Port Serial Card Driver (Equinox SST4PU)” on page 57.

If the Multi-Port Serial card must connect to a Modbus® unit, the Modbus’ 9-pin to 9-pinconnector (P0912VN) cable must attach to the P2 connector on the serial cable, as shown inFigure 1-18.

For sites requiring greater distances between the Modbus unit and the P91 server, use modemsbetween the P2 connector on the Multi-Port serial cable and the Modbus’ 9-pin-to-9-pin connec-tor cable.

Figure 1-19 shows the pinout from the Multiple Port Serial card to the Modbus device.

NOTE

Plug your Modbus device into the Multi-Port Serial card defined by your systemconfiguration.

NOTE

The P91 server does not work with the Command Center side-arm mounted moni-tors, P0930DH and P0930WG.

The dual- and quad-head video cards require a driver; refer to “Configuring the Video Driver” onpage 59.

When you add a multi-head video card to a P91 server, you can now use the integrated video out-put as well as the multi-head video cards. This allows you the flexibility of using one to five videodisplays at a time.

Instructions for connecting the monitors to the multi-head video cards vary depending on whether you are installing a dual- or quad-head video card.

First, you must choose how you want to position the monitors in your final configuration.Figure 1-20 provides an illustration of the typical monitor configurations. (For additional exam-ples of dual and quad head monitor configurations, refer to “Configuring the Video Driver” onpage 59.) Assign each monitor a number as shown in Figure 1-20.

2. Installing I/A Series Software

This chapter provides a step-by-step installation procedure for the initial installation (Day 0)of your I/A Series software and is specific to the hardware platform defined in Chapter 1 of this

document.

When you receive your P91 server from Invensys, it comes preconfigured and ready for I/A Seriessoftware to be installed. You must install the I/A Series software yourself, as described in “Install-ing I/A Series Software on a New P91 Server” below, after connecting your P91 server to itsnetwork(s). The network interface card and other cards must be correctly installed with the cor-rect drivers prior to I/A Series software installation.

The following sections describe the complete I/A Series software configuration specificallydesigned for the P91 servers with P-Codes P91*********, Style A. To determine your P91 server’sP-Code, refer to “Determining Your P91 Server’s Configuration” on page 1. These instructions donot apply to any other P91 Series processors.

Installing I/A Series Software on a New P91 ServerThe P91 server is shipped with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition operating systempreinstalled.

NOTE

For I/A Series Version 8.0 and newer (V8.x) servers, the KSI time card and the Allen-Bradley PKTX card are not supported on the P91 server.

Changing the Station NameThe P91 server’s name must match the workstation letterbug name on your Commit diskettebefore you install the I/A Series software. For systems with multiple workstations, you mustchange the default workstation names.

The I/A Series server’s letterbug is an uppercase six-character alphanumeric workstation name rec-ognized by the I/A Series software. Letterbug is defined during System Definition and is writtento the Commit diskette.

To make your workstation letterbug name match your host name, perform the followingprocedure:
