Mylex Disk Array Controller Driver for
NetWare 5.0
Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller as the Primary
NetWare 5.0 Controller
If the Mylex Disk Array Controller will be the primary (bootable) controller,
you must install the controller driver at the time of NetWare 5.0 installation.
Installing NetWare 5.0 Drivers
NetWare version 5.0 is available on CD-ROM. Drivers provided in the DOS-
formatted Software Utilities and Drivers diskette are required to install
NetWare 5.0 from a CD-ROM drive connected to a Mylex Disk Array
Controller.
The procedure below assumes that the CD-ROM drivers are available.
1. Boot the system from a newly created DOS boot drive, and then create
(or edit) the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to include the
drivers required for accessing the CD-ROM as a logical drive under
DOS. The following example assigns the CD-ROM as drive D: under
MS-DOS 6.00 or above. CONFIG.SYS contains the statements:
device = [pathname]\aspidac.sys
device = [pathname]\btcdrom.sys /D:[devicename]
AUTOEXEC.BAT contains the statement:
[pathname]\mscdex /v /m:10 /D:[devicename]
The device name is that of the specific CD-ROM drive
(e.g., MSCD001).
2. Boot the system with the new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT,
and make sure the NetWare CD-ROM files are accessible under DOS.
3. Follow the standard NetWare 5.0 upgrade or installation procedure, as
described in the NetWare 5.0 documentation.
• While the files are being copied, a message will appear stating
“matching drivers to hardware devices.”
