Installing SCO OpenServer 5.0.x
Large IDE Disk Drives and IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs (on E30, E 40, E 45, E 50, E 60,
LC II, LC 3, LH 3, LH 4 and LPr)
For OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 there is a problem using IDE disk drives larger than 2
GB. There is also a problem accessing some IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drives. SCO has
released a new "wd" driver BTLD diskette that fixes these problems. You will need to
get the SCO SLS OSS451B (or later) from SCO's ftp site. Please read the instructions
for this SLS before using it. These problems have been fixed in OpenServer 5.0.4.
Installation Instructions
The following instructions help you to install SCO OpenServer 5.0.x on your HP
NetServer computer.
NOTE: SCO OpenServer 5.0.x does not support Plug And Play mode for interface
cards. Plug And Play must be disabled on the card and the card must be manually
configured.
The mdac driver can not share IRQs, neither with another HP DAC card nor with
other cards.
Two HP D5013A or J3171A NIC cards (and the E 60 embedded NIC) can not
share the same IRQ.
On the HP NetServer LC II you need to make sure you have the latest NIC drivers
from either SCO or the NIC manufacturer. The NIC driver needs to have a fix for
the "I-Distributed" problem. If your driver does not work you can contact SCO
Support.
For OpenServer 5.0.x, the SCSI controller drivers are built into the SCO product. HP
recommends that you use the latest arad and alad drivers that SCO ships. These drivers
are available from SCO on their AHS 5.2.0 (or later) BTLD disk. HP only ships the
drivers for the HP Disk Array Controller (mdac), the HP NetRAID Controller (amird),
the Adaptec alad driver (use alad325 on the link line), the Adaptec blad driver for SCSI
Ultra 2 (use blad325 on the link line), and the Symbios slha driver (use symha on the link
line), but not the Adaptec arad driver, on the drivers diskettes that are created by the HP
NetServer Navigator CD.
1. Use the HP CD-ROM installation utility to configure your system hardware. This
utility creates an SCO driver diskettes (the "Drivers Diskettes").
2. Insert the SCO Boot diskette (or 5.0.5 bootable CD-ROM) and turn on your
NetServer.
3. What you type at the "Boot:" prompt depends upon your configuration. You must
now specify which drivers to install to.
