Installing Ez-Scsi - Dell PowerEdge 4200 Series User Manual

following files appear in the scsi subdirectories on both
NetWare driver diskettes:
•
readme.txt — An American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) text file describing
Adaptec's drivers for NetWare
•
aic7870.dsk — Adaptec's 78xx series driver for
NetWare
•
aspitran.dsk — Adaptec's ASPI
driver for NetWare
•
aspicd.dsk — Adaptec's device driver for a
CD-ROM drive
In addition, the scsi subdirectory on your NetWare 4.11
SMP drivers diskette contains the following files:
•
aic7870.ddi — A driver definition information file to
provide setup information to NetWare during installa-
tion; NetWare can then prompt you with parameters to
be configured for the device driver during the installa-
tion process.
•
aspicd.ddi — A device driver definition file.
•
aspitran.ddi — A device driver definition file.
To begin driver installation, first load the EZ-SCSI utility
as described in the following subsection "Installing
EZ-SCSI," and then calculate the slot number as
described in "Calculating the Slot Number" found later in
this section. Then if you are performing a first-time Net-
Ware installation, see "Installing NetWare and the
Driver" found later in this section. If NetWare is already
installed in your system, see "Using NetWare to Install or
Update the Driver" found later in this section.
NOTE: Your system must have a bootable version of
MS-DOS (version 6.2x) installed before you can com-
plete the Novell NetWare installation.

Installing EZ-SCSI

The Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility automatically configures the
computer to use an Adaptec SCSI host adapter and the
devices connected to it. The Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility also
copies applications and device drivers to the computer's
hard-disk drive. The configuration and installation process
is explained with a series of screens. In most cases, the
computer and SCSI devices are configured to take full
advantage of all the performance benefits of SCSI when
you accept the default values suggested by these screens.

Follow these steps to install the Adaptec EZ-SCSI utility:
1. If you have not already done so, create an
Adaptec EZ-SCSI diskette for the version of Net-
Ware you are using.
Chapter 2, "Using the Dell Server Assistant CD,"
provides instructions for creating this diskette.
2. Insert your Adaptec EZ-SCSI diskette into dis-
kette drive A.
3. Type dosinst and press <Enter>.
A message appears while the EZ-SCSI utility loads
into memory.
4. When the first EZ-SCSI screen appears, read the
text carefully.
You can press <F1> on any screen for additional
help. (Press <Esc> to exit a Help screen.)
5. Press <Enter> to continue with the installation.
6. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Press <Enter> at every screen to accept the
EZ-SCSI default values.
If you accept all the default values, the EZ-SCSI util-
ity copies the files from the diskette to the c:\scsi
directory. (The EZ-SCSI utility creates this directory
if the directory does not already exist.) The EZ-SCSI
utility also adds command lines to your computer's
configuration files (autoexec.bat and/or config.sys)
that will load the required device drivers into mem-
ory when you boot your computer.
7. Press <Esc> to continue after the EZ-SCSI utility
enters changes to your system configuration files.
If you want to copy the files to a different directory
or control the changes to your configuration files,
follow the instructions on the screen. Press <F1> on
any screen to see more information.
NOTE: If the EZ-SCSI utility is unable to locate the
mscdex.exe file in the c:\dos directory, it will prompt
for a pathname to access this file. (Without this file, the
utility cannot access the computer's CD-ROM drive.)
8. When the message (Adaptec EZ-SCSI has
been successfully installed...)appears
on the screen, press <Enter> or <Esc> to exit the
EZ-SCSI utility, and remove the Adaptec EZ-
SCSI diskette from the drive. Then reboot your
computer by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
