2) Run the SharePoint Product configuration wizard ->click on next and Select the opion as connect to an exitsting server farm.
3)Specify database server as ABCDSQL1\SQL_INSTANCE1, and database name as ABCDSQL1\SQL_INSTANCE1
4)In Server Farm Product and Patch Status, check for any missing Patches, if found need to install and run PSConfig.
5)If everything went fine till above step, then proceed Next and it will ask for PassPhrase
