Installation Overview
This section provides the information needed to install
and use the Dell SCSI drivers for NetWare 4.11. The Dell
SCSI drivers for NetWare support the optional Adaptec
AHA-2940UW and all Adaptec 78xx series SCSI
controllers.
Before you begin installation of the SCSI drivers for Net-
Ware, you must create a diskette of drivers for the version
of NetWare you are using (4.11) and a diskette that con-
tains the Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility. Chapter 2, “Using the
Dell Server Assistant CD,” provides instructions for cre-
ating these diskettes.
NOTE: Be sure to use the SCSI driver diskettes created
from the Dell Server Assistant CD rather than the SCSI
drivers provided with the operating system.
The Dell SCSI drivers for NetWare are fully NetWare-
tested and approved. The \scsi subdirectory on the
NetWare 4.11 drivers diskette you create contains files to
be used with NetWare 4.11. The following files appear in
the \scsi subdirectories on both NetWare driver diskettes:
•
readme.txt — An American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) text file describing
Adaptec’s drivers for NetWare
•
aic7870.dsk — Adaptec’s 78xx Family driver for
NetWare
•
aspitran.dsk — Adaptec’s ASPI
®
transport layer
driver for NetWare
•
aspicd.dsk — Adaptec’s device driver for a
CD-ROM drive
In addition, the \scsi subdirectory on your NetWare 4.11
drivers diskette contains the following files:
•
aic7870.ddi — A driver definition information file
to provide setup information to NetWare during
installation; NetWare can then prompt you with
parameters to be configured for the device driver
during the installation process.
•
aspicd.ddi — A device driver definition file.
•
aspitran.ddi — A device driver definition file.
To begin driver installation, first load the EZ-SCSI utility
as described in the following subsection, “Installing
EZ-SCSI,” and then calculate the slot number as
described in “Calculating the Slot Number” found later in
this section. Then, if you are installing NetWare for the
first time, see “Installing NetWare and the Driver” found
later in this section. If NetWare is already installed on
your system, see “Using NetWare to Install or Update the
Driver” found later in this section.
NOTE: Your system must have a complete version of
MS-DOS (version 6.2x) installed before you can com-
plete the NetWare installation.
Installing EZ-SCSI
The Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility automatically configures the
computer to use an Adaptec SCSI host adapter and the
devices connected to it. The Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility also
copies applications and device drivers to the computer’s
hard-disk drive. The configuration and installation process
is explained with a series of screens. In most cases, the
computer and SCSI devices are configured to take full
advantage of all the performance benefits of SCSI when
you accept the default values suggested by these screens.
Follow these steps to install the Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility:
1. If you have not already done so, create an
Adaptec EZ-SCSI diskette for the version of Net-
Ware you are using.
Chapter 2, “Using the Dell Server Assistant CD,”
provides instructions for creating this diskette.
2. Insert your Adaptec EZ-SCSI diskette into
drive A.
3. Type dosinst and press <Enter>.
A message appears while the EZ-SCSI utility loads
into memory.
