Performing a NetWare 4.11 Installation
Follow these steps only if you are installing or upgrading
NetWare 4.11 for the first time:
1.
Make backup copies of all Novell diskettes, and
use those backup copies as your working
diskettes.
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:\netware4.0\english\.
4.
Type install and press <Enter>.
5.
Select Install New Netware V4.x if you are install-
ing NetWare 4.11 for the first time, or Upgrade
Netware V4.x if you are upgrading to
NetWare 4.11.
6.
Follow the instructions in the NetWare user’s
guide for partitioning, creating a server name,
and checking the internetwork packet exchange
(IPX) network number.
7.
When a screen appears asking you to select a disk
driver, press <Insert>.
8.
Insert the NetWare 4.11 driver diskette that you
created earlier into the diskette drive.
If you have not already created this diskette, refer to
Chapter 2, “Using the Dell Server Assistant CD,” for
instructions.
9.
Press <F3>, and specify the path to the
aic7870.dsk driver for NetWare (for example,
a:\scsi).
10. Select the aic7870.dsk driver and press <Enter>.
NOTE: Specific help text for each driver appears in
the middle of the screen as you scroll down the list.
The Loaded Drivers window below the list of avail-
able drivers displays the names of drivers that are
loaded and operational. For a new installation, this
list is initially empty. For a selective installation, the
list shows the diskette drivers already running.
11. Specify the server directory (usually, c:\nwserver)
and press <Enter>. The installation program cop-
ies the necessary files to this directory.
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.
Using NetWare to Install or Update the
Driver
This section describes how to update or install the
aic7870.dsk driver if NetWare 4.11 is already installed. If
you are installing NetWare 4.11 for the first time, see
“Installing NetWare and the Driver” found earlier in this
section.
1.
Make a backup copy of the old driver (if it exists)
before installing the new driver.
