18. At the system console type:
load c:\nwserver\issainst
and press Enter. This will add two lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF that load the
additional SSA nlms. You must now restart the system to implement the changes

Installing NW onto an SSA Resource in a new server
This section describes how to install and configure the adapter on a new server that will
have its operating system installed on the SSA devices that it will boot from.
It is assumed that the adapter is already installed in the system unit and that all the
required disks are connected with the appropriate cabling. In order for the system unit
to boot from the SSA adapter you must ensure that the CBIOS on the adapter is
enabled.
You must have either downloaded an updated NetWare device driver from the SSA
World Wide Web Support page (http://www.hursley.ibm.com/ssa/), or have the
diskette labeled Novell NetWare 5 Device Drivers that is provided with your adapter.
1. Insert the SSA disk that contains the PC DOS Configurator and boot the machine.
At the DOS prompt enter:
a:\issacfg
and press Enter
2. This will load the DOS based configuration software. Configure the adapter and
disks according to your requirements. See the IBM Advanced SerialRAID/X
Adapter: User’s Guide and Maintenance Information, SA33–3288, for further
information.
3. When you have configured the adapter and disks, restart the system and install
DOS. Refer to the manufacturers instructions for further information about installing
DOS. Ensure that the DOS installation supports a CD-ROM drive.
4. Remove the diskette and reboot your system to DOS. Insert the Novell NetWare 5
CD and enter:
d: and then press Enter
install and then press Enter
Where d: is the address of your CD-ROM drive.
5. Follow the manufacturers installation guidelines. When the screen appears that
shows the detected devices, select Modify from the Options menu.
6. Select Storage Adapters and press Enter.
