Installing Netware And The Driver; Performing A Netware 4.X Installation; Table 3-2. Expansion Slot Bus Numbers And Device Numbers - Dell 4100 User Manual

The device variable refers to the physical slot num-
ber on the PCI bus. The device number is in hex; you
must convert it to a decimal number. The device
number for the built-in AIC-7880 host adapter is 10;
the device number for the built-in AIC-7860 control-
ler is 11.
Table 3-1 shows the PCI bus number and device
numbers for the five PCI expansion slots in the
PowerEdge 4100 system:

NOTE: The device slot number identified through
SCSISelect is not the same as the slot number needed
to load the driver through the load command line.
Use the following formula to calculate the slot
number:
slot number = (bus * 100) + device + 16
For example, if the bus:device number is 0:06h (that
is, bus 0, device 6), then the slot number is 22 (22 =
[0 * 100] + 6 + 16). The slot number for the built-in
AIC-7880 host adapter is 126 (126 = [1 * 100] + 10
+ 16).

Installing NetWare and the Driver

This subsection describes how to install the aic7870.dsk
driver at the same time you install NetWare 3.12 or 4.x. If
NetWare 3.12 or 4.x is already installed and you wish to
install or update the aic7870.dsk driver, see "Using Net-
Ware to Install or Update the Driver" found later in this
section.
