ARO-1130U2 Installation and Hardware Guide

Netware Installation and Configuration Notes

Larger Than 4 GByte Arrays

When installing NetWare on an array 4 GBytes or larger, the Install
program erroneously reports that the DOS partition is too small. It,
however, does allow you to continue installation. Ignore this error
message.

Unloading

cda1000h.ham

When running Adaptec CI/O Management Software, do not unload

cda1000h.ham

while
