7-22 Installing the Operating System Drivers

Installation Procedures

To copy the driver file to the OS/2 directory on your boot drive:
1. Place the OS/2 SSD in the floppy drive.
2. From the OS/2 command prompt, type:
The CPQARRAY.ADD driver file is copied to the x:\os2 directory
(where x is the boot drive) and any existing driver is renamed
CPQARRAY.OLD. The CONFIG.SYS file is updated to load this driver
first on boot. This means that the first drive on this controller is the boot
drive.
3. If you do not want to boot from a drive on this controller, for instance if
you wanted to boot from a drive attached to the integrated SCSI
controller, you must manually change the CONFIG.SYS file before you
reboot the server. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to reorder the
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD statement so that it appears after the
BASEDEV statement.
4. Also, if present, remove the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD statement
from the CONFIG.SYS file. This driver conflicts with the
CPQARRAY.ADD driver if both are loaded.
5. Save the updated CONFIG.SYS file and exit the editor.
6. Perform a normal system shutdown and reboot the server to load the new
driver.
