Overview NetWare 5.0
This section provides information about the following:
• Installation procedures and the functionality of the Mylex Disk Array
Controller drivers for Novell NetWare 5.0. The software is provided on

Mylex Disk Array Controller Driver Files for NetWare
All hardware installation, system configuration, and disk array controller
configuration must be properly completed before proceeding with the
NetWare driver installation. These basic installation procedures follow the
Novell Installation manual, with only the few minor differences that are
described in this section, Netware 5.0.
The subdirectory \NW on the NT/NW drivers diskette contains the following:
MDAC.HAM: The driver to support Mylex Disk Array Controllers
with NetWare 5.0.
MDAC.DDI: NetWare installation file for MDAC.HAM.
Tape and CD-ROM Support
Tape drive support is available to the Mylex Disk Array Controller under
NetWare by means of the NWASPI driver module that provides ASPI
compatibility. Most NetWare applications that communicate through ASPI
on the server will work with the controller.
Similar to tape drive support, CD-ROM is also supported by the controller
for use under NetWare. The NWASPI driver module must first be loaded to
provide ASPI support to the CD-ROM application running on the server. An
NWASPI driver and a CD-ROM driver will also have to be loaded. These are
included with the Novell NetWare releases.
