Setting Up and Using the Software 3-19
Using the driver requires that you change your
CONFIG.SYS file. Before changing your file, we
recommend that you create a start-up diskette as described
earlier in this chapter in “Creating a Start-Up Diskette.”
The SCSI Configuration driver has the following charac-
teristics and limitations:
n
Each time you reconfigure the SCSI port, you must per-
form a cold boot. Once you set a configuration, you
must perform another cold boot to change your settings.
This includes enabling or disabling the port.
n
Command line switches (or options) are processed in the
sequence in which they appear. If you use the reboot op-
tion, make sure it is the last option to appear on the
command line.
Modifying the CONFIG.SYS File
Modify the CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
For details about editing the CONFIG.SYS
file and saving the changes, see your MS-DOS
documentation.
1.
Add the following as the first line in your CONFIG.SYS
file. Because the command specifies port settings, this
command must precede other SCSI drivers in the file.
device=c:\ds4000\scsictrl.sys
2.
Add the configuration options that you want to imple-
ment at boot up to this line. (Some sample command
lines appear after the following options list.)
