The Dell SCSI drivers for IntranetWare support the optional Adaptec AHA-2940U2W
and all Adaptec 78 xx series SCSI controllers, are fully tested and approved for
IntranetWare, and are available on the Dell Server Assistant CD. You will need to
create IntranetWare 4.11 diskettes containing these drivers if you have not already
done so. Chapter 2, "Using the Dell Server Assistant CD," provides instructions for
creating these diskettes.
The IntranetWare driver diskettes you create contain a number of files used by
IntranetWare. During the IntranetWare installation process, you will be asked to
select or use the following files:
aic78u2.ham — IntranetWare driver for the AIC-7890 and AHA-2940U2W host
adapters
aha2940.ham — IntranetWare driver for the AIC-7860 host adapter
nwaspi.cdm — Adaptec's device driver for a CD-ROM drive
cdrom.nlm — File required by the IntranetWare bus interface
If you have an optional RAID controller, you will also be using the pedge4x.ham file,
the IntranetWare driver for the RAID controller. Depending upon the RAID controller
you have, the driver may be on the Dell Server Assistant CD or on a separate diskette
included with the shipment.
In addition, the IntranetWare driver diskettes contain the driver-definition information
files for both the 78 xx Ultra2 SCSI series host adapters and the AHA-2940U2W host
adapter. These files provide setup information to IntranetWare during installation so
that IntranetWare can prompt you with parameters to be configured for these device
drivers.
NOTE: Your system must have a bootable version of MS-DOS or DR-DOS installed
before you can complete the IntranetWare installation.
After creating the driver diskettes, you will need to prepare the hard-disk drive and
then install IntranetWare 4.11. Once IntranetWare is installed, you can then install
Dell-supplied Novell patches and Support Pack 5, as well as SMP support. The follow-
ing subsections describe these procedures in detail.
NOTE: If the server has a RAID controller installed, you must set up the RAID control-
ler and drives in a valid configuration before you perform the procedures in the
following subsections. Refer to the RAID controller documentation to configure the
controller and drives, and then return to this section.
