Booting the Computer
The AHA-1510A does not provide booting capabil-
ity. If you want to boot from a SCSI drive installed
on the host adapter, you can install an AHA-1520A
or AHA-1522A. Both of these host adapter models
provide booting capability.
Software Installation
DOS/Windows Platforms
If you have purchased Adaptec EZ-SCSI, insert the
EZ-SCSI diskette in a floppy diskette drive, change
to the drive letter of that drive (either A or B) and
enter the command install. If you do not have
EZ-SCSI, follow the instructions below for DOS
installation.
Use the DOS copy command to copy the files from
the ASW-1210 diskette to the root directory of
C
drive
. Using any text editor, add these two lines
to your config.sys file:
device = aspi2dos.sys /z /y- /u- /d
device = aspidisk.sys /d
Enter the lines in this order, or else the programs
will not be installed when you boot your computer.
You may also need to add the following command
line options to the device driver lines in the
config.sys file. (See the ASW-1210 Installation
Guide for more information about these options.)
device = aspi2dos.sys [/p< port address >] [/L]
[/c or /c-] [/y or /y-] [/u or /u-]
[/h< HA SCSI ID >] [/q< interrupt channel >]
If you change the port address or the interrupt
channel, you must also change the corresponding
jumper block settings.
If a hard disk drive is attached to the AHA-1510A,
you must use the aspidisk driver to access the disk.
You must use the afdisk utility to format and parti-
tion SCSI disk devices.
