The correct syntax statement to load the Adaptec
series 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 subsection, "Using NetWare to Install or
Update the Driver," and "Using startup.ncf and
autoexec.ncf" found later in this section for more
information.
Using NetWare to Install or Update the
Driver
This section describes how to update or install the
aic7870.dsk driver if NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 SMP is
already installed. If you are installing NetWare 3.12 or
3-14 Dell PowerEdge 4200 Systems User's Guide
4.11 SMP for the first time, see "Installing NetWare and
the Driver" found earlier in this section.
The instructions for updating or installing the driver are
similar for both NetWare 3.12 and 4.11 SMP. Procedures
that are specific to a particular NetWare version are
noted.
1. Make a backup copy of the old driver (if it exists)
before installing the new driver.
2. Copy the aic7870.dsk driver and aspitran.dsk mod-
ule from the NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 SMP driver
diskette you created into the server's start-up
directory (usually, c:\nwserver) on your hard-disk
drive. Doing so overwrites any existing version of
the drivers in the directory.
NOTE: For both NetWare 3.12 and 4.11 SMP, the
aic7870.dsk and aspitran.dsk files are located in
the scsi subdirectory on the diskette.
3. If necessary, modify the load command line in the
startup.ncf file so that the proper path to the
driver and the correct slot number are specified.
See "Using startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf" found
later in this section.
The correct syntax to load the Adaptec 78xx driver
follows:
load [pathname] aic7870.dsk [options] slot=x
Command line options are not case-sensitive. Placing
commas between command line options is optional.
See the next section, "Using the load Command Line
Options," for optional values. To calculate the slot
number for each host adapter, see "Calculating the
Slot Number" found earlier in this section.
4. Load the driver for the first installed host
adapter. If you have additional host adapters, you
must load the driver separately for each host
adapter.
