To add hardware, follow these steps.<br />

Adding hardware to an active <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

Note: You do not need to perform this procedure if you are adding network devices.<br />

1. Attach a keyboard and monitor directly to your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and<br />

reboot.<br />

Note: If your system has multiple keyboard/monitor connection ports, you must<br />

attach the keyboard and monitor into the same keyboard/monitor connection port<br />

pair (that is, attach both items to the front connection ports or both in the back<br />

connection ports).<br />

2. Perform a level 0 backup <strong>of</strong> your system.<br />

Important: You must back up your s<strong>of</strong>tware system because you will be<br />

repartitioning the disk drives in step 7, and you will need a full backup to restore the<br />

system. Given the significance <strong>of</strong> this backup, it is a good idea to perform two level 0<br />

backups, in case there is a problem with the first backup. See “Backing up system<br />

files” on page F-4 for instructions on performing a level 0 backup.<br />

3. Type the following command to halt the system.<br />

shutdown -h now<br />

4. Power <strong>of</strong>f the system.<br />

5. Add the new hardware to your system.<br />

Be sure to take the necessary precautions to prevent accidental<br />

electrostatic shock.<br />

6. Power up the system and quickly insert the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Installation–<br />

Disk Imaging CD-ROM.<br />

Tip: See the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> installation and configuration documentation for<br />

additional details.<br />

7. Press Enter when the Installation Wizard appears.<br />

8. In the Installation Type window, use the down-arrow to move to the<br />

Restore Full System Backup option, and then press the space bar to<br />

select it.<br />

9. Tab to Continue and then press Enter.<br />

The Restore Full System Backup command will prompt you to insert a<br />

backup DAT; this is the DAT that you created when you did the level 0<br />

backup.<br />

10. Change partitioning information, if needed.<br />

During the boot process the Default Disk Allocation screen displays the<br />

default values. If you need to modify the values, tab to Configure and<br />

then press Enter.<br />
