GDTRP400.DSK for NetWare 4.x
ASPITRAN.DSK ASPI manager
CTRLTRAN.DSK Module for
ICPCON
(Note: More information about the ICPCON diagnosis tool may be found in a separate
chapter in this manual.)
if you wish to install NetWare 4.x from a CDROM, you first have to set up the CDROM drive
under MS-DOS, following the instructions given in chapter D, section D.6. Then install
NetWare following the instructions in the NetWare documentation. During the installation,
the NetWare installation program asks you which hard disk driver you want to load, show-
ing a list of available drivers. As the ICP driver is not part of this list yet, you have to boot it
from the floppy disk: insert the ICP
Novell NetWare disk into the floppy drive. Now, select the
drivers GDTRP400, ASPITRAN and CTRLTRAN. Complete the installation according to the
instructions given by the NetWare installation program.
Naturally you can also load the ICP driver directly from the system console, just as with
NetWare 3.x:
:LOAD GDTRP400 ENTER
(ASPITRAN.DSK and CTRLTRAN.DSK will be loaded automatically ). If more ICP Controllers
are installed in the fileserver (i.e., for controller duplexing), the above mentioned driver has
to be loaded several times. But as it is re-entrant, it is only loaded once. A single ICP Con-
troller can be chosen by selecting its PCI slot number.
E.4 Novell NetWare 4.x/5.x – Using "HAM" Driver
ICP Controllers also support the HAM (Host Adapter Module) specification.
Before installing the ICP HAM driver make sure that your NetWare operating system is up-
graded to the last level (Service Pack or Patches). To download the latest patches check the
Novell website www.novell.com.
The ICP HAM driver for all ICP Controllers using Intel's i960Rx CPUs is (xy stand for the ver-
sion number):
GDTRP1xy.HAM - the HAM driver
GDTRP1xy.DDI - installation file for GDTRP1xy.HAM
This ICP HAM driver supports all NetWare versions where the latest NWPA (NetWare Pe-
ripheral Architecture) support modules are available and installed. (Note: there is a
NWPA.EXE file on the ICP System CDROM which includes amongst others various CDMs -
Custom Device Modules. Before you install these modules make sure that you do not over-
write already existing newer modules.)
Update a NetWare 4.x system from ICP DSK to ICP HAM driver support
To upgrade a pre-installed server from DSK- to HAM-drivers, the following steps should be
carried out:
ƒ
Copy the file NWPA_411.EXE to the server start-directory and start it there. The file is
self-extracting and can be deleted after use (see above note).
ƒ
Copy GDTRP1xy.HAM and CTRLTRAN.HAM into the server start-directory.
