If your removable-media device supports the lock/unlock feature, you can lock the
media (using menu option 6). The media must be in the Not Locked state before you
can eject it. If the media is locked, it cannot be ejected when you press the eject
button.

To be fully certified as NetWare “Yes, Tested and Approved,” a drive and host adapter
must both pass a qualification process that takes place before you see the product.
The goals of NetWare testing are to simplify installation and provide the highest qual-
ity disk subsystem.
Adaptec 78
xx
series host adapters and their drivers are fully tested and approved for
NetWare. This means that you can purchase a NetWare drive (certified as “Yes,
Tested and Approved”) from a vendor, connect it to your system or host adapter, par-
tition it, and create a volume without any compatibility concerns.
NOTE: Dell recommends using only Dell-tested drives.
Adaptec’s aic78u2.ham driver module is flexible enough to allow you to connect SCSI
drives that are tested and approved for NetWare as well as standard SCSI drives to a
single host adapter. The driver registers each hard-disk drive accordingly.
Drive registration is a user-transparent process; no user interaction is required. You
can tell that the drive has been detected as NetWare-tested and NetWare-approved if
the message NetWare Yes Tested and Approved is included in the drive
description string that appears when you run monitor.nlm (disk options).
