CHAPTER 5: Driver Installation
5.5 Installing Drivers for Novell NetWare
With additional software drivers, your
Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter
will support
Novell NetWare 386, v3.1x, v4.1x, or v5.0. (Note, however, that users of versions of
NetWare earlier than v5.0 must upgrade their systems with the NWPA [NetWare
Peripheral Architecture] in order to be able to use the Adapter, because there are
no .DSK drivers for it—see the README.TXT file on Driver Disk 1 for more
information.) The installation procedure described here requires some experience
in Novell system setup and administration. The device drivers are transferred from
Driver Disk 1 to the hard drive from which they are automatically loaded during
the system boot routine. The diskette contains these driver files:
\NETWARE\HAM\INIA100.HAM HAM device driver
\NETWARE\HAM\INIA100.DDI HAM device-driver installation file
The NetWare driver will be installed on the disk drive used for NetWare system
initialization. The driver is loaded during the system boot routine and will remain
resident on the drive. This is accomplished by following one of the two installation
procedures listed in this section: new NetWare installation, or adding the Adapter
drivers to an existing NetWare system.
These procedures differ significantly from one another. We strongly suggest that
you carefully read the instructions for the procedure you plan to use and make
sure you understand them before proceeding with the corresponding system-
configuration changes. In addition, Driver Disk 1 contains a README.TXT file
that might contain important updated information about the procedures
described in this chapter; we recommend that you read it and use it when you
perform the driver installation.
