Intel Integrated RAID Software Installation
1. If you are installing Novell NetWare on a Pass-through Disk go to step 2. If you are installing
Novell NetWare on another storage device, then go to step 3.
2. Create a pass-through disk. Once step a is completed, return to this procedure to install the
operating system.
a. Create a pass-through disk and select it as the boot device. Using the RAID Configuration
Utility (see “How to Invoke Advanced RCU” on page 2-19 for more information) create a
pass-through disk and select it as the boot device (see “Custom Configuration” on
page 2-12 for more information on creating a pass-through disk). The operating system
will be installed on this disk. You may choose to create more than one pass-through disk at
this time.
3. Insert MS-DOS floppy and reboot. Once you reboot, you will have to run FDISK to create a
DOS partition of at least 50MB on the newly created volume (make sure it is flagged as the
“Active” partition). Reboot and format the new partition. Make the new partition bootable.
4. Copy the desired MS-DOS files to the hard drive, copy the necessary CD-ROM drivers (e.g.
ATAPI_CD.SYS and MSCDEX.EXE) and create a CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT that
loads those drivers. Insert the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file:
files=30
buffer=20
5. Reboot the server, insert the NetWare Installation CD-ROM, go to the appropriate drive letter
and run INSTALL.BAT.
6. After booting you will first be asked to Accept the License Agreement. Do so and then select
“NetWare 4.2”, then select “Custom installation of NetWare 4.2”. Enter the server name and
internal network number. Hit <Enter> to begin the initial file copy.
7. Confirm the locale configuration and select “Continue”. Modify the NCF files. Make any
desired modifications. Next, the device driver installation screen appears.
8. Choose “Select additional or modify selected Disk/LAN drivers”.
9. Choose “Select an additional driver”. Hit <Insert> to install an unlisted driver. Make sure that
the SRCU31 NetWare Installation diskette is in the floppy drive and hit <Enter>. Select
“BKSTROSM.HAM” from the list.
10. Continue with the NetWare installation as normal by following the screen prompts.
11. Once the server installation is finished, complete the installation of the SRCU31 software suite
by following the steps below.
