Product Notes for Novell Netware
™
and MS-DOS
™
This appendix provides information for the system administrator. It should be read before installing and using
the CD-ROM drive in a host system operating under the Novell, MS-DOS, or MS-DOS/WINDOWS operating
systems.
C.1
Host SCSI Interface
CAUTION
Novell's CDROM.NLM module does not support the
"
hot
swapping" of the CD-ROM SBB. Therefore, when using the
CDROM.NLM module, do not remove the SBB from a
StorageWorks enclosure while running the NetWare™ server.
Always unload the module before removing the SBB from the
storage subsystem.
The CD-ROM drive utilizes the standard SCSI-2 command set to interface to the PC-based host
system. Therefore, the host system must be equipped with a SCSI adapter to properly interface the
CD-ROM with the host. For example, the host SCSI adapter might interface the computer's EISA bus
to the SCSI-2 port of the SBB.
A host PC SCSI adapter is normally supplied with a compatible software driver for use with its
operating system. When operating under Novell and MS-DOS, the software driver must be pre-
loaded in accordance with the SCSI adapter manufacturer’s installation procedure to ensure a proper
interface between the SBB and the host. In addition, third party software may be required to access
the drive.
Before purchasing a user-level software product, ensure that the drive is supported by that product
(see note below). Third party product vendors usually publish a supported hardware list, or have
telephone technical support personnel who will answer questions regarding compatibility of a
particular drive. When choosing a software product suitable for your application, follow the software
vendor's installation procedure to implement support for your CD-ROM drive. Finally, if your host is
operating under Netware, Novell Inc. provides a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) called
"CDROM.NLM" with some of its operating systems. This module is compatible with the SWXOR
series of CD-ROM drives.
NOTE
The SWXOR drive SBB is functionally equivalent to the RRD43
(DEC part no.) CD-ROM drive. Commercial software products that
support the RRD43 will also support the SWXOR-series units.
