Loading the Ethernet Driver
To enable the Ethernet controller, you must load the applicable Ethernet driver for your
operating system. Refer to the README.TXT or README.DOC files on the AMD
PCnet-Fast™ Drivers disk for installation instructions.
Loading the SCSI Driver
To enable the SCSI controller, you must load the applicable SCSI driver for your
operating system. If you are using Windows 3.x, refer to the READ.TXT file on the
Adaptec EZ-SCSI Lite for Windows Setup disk for installation instructions. If you are
using O/S2, Windows NT, Windows 95, or Netware, refer to the README.TXT file on
the 7800 Family Manager Set disk for installation instructions.
Enabling the SCSI Boot Capabilities on the XVME-655
To enable SCSI boot capabilities, you must modify the XVME-655 system BIOS. The
correct procedure to follow is dependent on the XVME-655 board’s functional revision,
which is indicated on a label attached to the XVME-655 VMEbus connectors. Use the
functional revision on the label with a 70655-x0y part number where x is 2,3,4,5 and y is
0,1,2,3,4. Please contact Xycom’s Application Engineering Department if you need
assistance.
For boards with a 1.1 functional revision, replace the U51 system BIOS device with the
device included with the XVME-978/2. Keep the device you remove from the U51
socket. You will need to install it if you want to disable booting from SCSI.
For boards with a 1.2 or greater functional revision, follow the steps below:
1.
Be sure the Video BIOS shadowing is disabled. This is done in the system BIOS
setup (refer to Chapter 3).
2.
Insert the floppy disk labeled “Dflash” into your system’s floppy drive.
3.
Reboot the system.
4.
When the menu appears, select the number that corresponds to the action you wish to
perform.
5.
Once the program indicates the BIOS has been updated successfully, you may reboot
the system.
