NetWare 4.2 – Secondary Controller
This section describes how to integrate a DPT SmartRAID VI controller
into a new or existing Novell NetWare 4.2 system as a secondary
controller. Ensure that your NetWare version is at the minimum patch
level specified by Novell.
NOTE
NetWare 4 Support Pack 8 contains the latest Novell I
drivers. These drivers are newer than the ones from DPT but
have not been tested for compatibility with DPT controllers.

do the following:
1.
Download the NETWARE.ZIP file from the DPT Technical Support
web site. Extract NW42.ZIP to a floppy disk.

Shutdown the server and switch off the power. Install the DPT
controller and any attached storage devices as a secondary disk
subsystem. Note the slot used by the controller, you will need this
information later in the install process.
3.
Power on the server and use SMOR to configure the storage
subsystem. Press Ctrl+D during boot to start SMOR.
4.
Start NetWare. When the console prompt appears type, LOAD
INSTALL and press Enter.
5.
Select INSTALL A PRODUCT and press Enter.
6.
Select INSTALL A PRODUCT NOT LISTED and press Enter.
7.
Insert the diskette you created from the download file in drive A:
and install I2O and BLOCK STORAGE support only.
