12. When the screen displays Loading driver
aic7870.dsk, Please Wait, switch to the
System Console screen.
Press <Alt><Esc> to switch screens.
13. The driver prompts you for the slot number.
Enter the slot number you calculated for your
host adapter, and press <Enter>. (See "Calculat-
ing the Slot Number" found earlier in this
section.) You are automatically switched back to
continue with the installation.
14. When you have correctly entered the slot number,
press <F10> to load the driver.
15. If you are using multiple host adapters in your
server, you must load the driver again for each
host adapter.
NOTE: If your system has multiple host adapters,
each host adapter must have its own SCSI bus, and
its hardware must be configured properly for use
with multiple adapters. See the instructions in the
host adapter's User's Guide.
Refer to the NetWare User's Guide for information
on installing other NetWare Loadable Modules
(NLMs). If an error message appears when you
attempt to load the driver, see "Troubleshooting for
NetWare" found later in this section.
16. Select Continue the Installation to create disk
partitions and system volumes, and to specify vol-
ume names following the procedures listed in the
NetWare User's Guide.
17. To load the driver automatically at server start-
up, make sure the startup.ncf file includes the load
command line and correct slot number for your
host adapter. See "Using startup.ncf and
autoexec.ncf" found later in this section.
Performing a NetWare 3.12 Installation
Follow these instructions only if you are installing Net-
Ware 3.12 for the first time:
1. Make backup copies of all Novell diskettes, and
use those backup copies as your working
diskettes.
3-32 Dell PowerEdge 2100/180 and 2100/200 Systems User's Guide
2. Boot MS-DOS on your computer.
3. Change to the directory where the installation
files are found. For a CD-ROM, the subdirectory
is similar to d:\netware.312\english\.
4. Type install and press <Enter>.
Follow the procedures in your NetWare documenta-
tion for installing a new server or upgrading to a
newer NetWare version.
5. At the NetWare prompt, use the load command to
install the driver from the NetWare 3.12 driver
diskette you created earlier. You will also need the
slot number described in "Calculating the Slot
Number" found earlier in this section.
The correct syntax statement to load the Adaptec
Family 78xx driver follows:
:load [pathname] aic7870.dsk [options] slot=x
Command line options are not case sensitive. Plac-
ing commas between command line options is
optional. See "Using the load Command Line
Options" found later in this section for optional
values.
aspitran.dsk module must reside in the
NOTE: The
same path as the aic7870.dsk driver because Net-
Ware attempts to load the aspitran.dsk file
automatically.
6. Load the driver for the first installed host
adapter. If you have additional host adapters, you
must load the driver again separately for each
host adapter.
NetWare determines whether loading the driver
causes any conflicts between the host adapter and
other installed adapters. If there is a possibility of
conflict, the driver is not loaded.
NOTE: To load the driver automatically at server
start-up, copy the driver to the server's start-up
directory and modify the startup.ncf file. See the
following section, "Using NetWare to Install or
Update the Driver," and "Using startup.ncf and
autoexec.ncf" found later in this section for more
information.
