If you have not already done so, use the Dell Server Assistant CD to create the
IntranetWare SCSI and RAID drivers diskette. Chapter 2, "Using the Dell Server
Assistant CD," provides instructions for creating the diskette.
If you have a RAID controller installed, you may have a RAID driver diskette included
with your shipment. If so, use that diskette as the source of your RAID driver rather
than the SCSI and RAID drivers diskette created from the Dell Server Assistant CD.
NOTE: Label all driver diskettes. (For example, label it IntranetWare 4.11 Driver
Updates ).
Once the diskettes are created, continue to the next subsection, "Preparing the Hard-
Disk Drive for IntranetWare Installation."
To prepare the hard-disk drive for IntranetWare installation, you must create a utility
partition on the drive, create the primary MS-DOS partition, format the MS-DOS parti-
tion, create the c:\dos and c:\scsi subdirectories, and install certain system files.
You do not need to create a utility partition if you are installing IntranetWare on your
system for the first time. Dell shipped your system with the utility partition already
created on the hard-disk drive; you can proceed to create the primary MS-DOS parti-
tion on the drive. If you are reinstalling IntranetWare, you will need to delete the utility
partition and re-create it.
Follow these steps to prepare the hard-disk drive using the Dell Server Assistant and
Dell IntranetWare Support CDs:
1.
Perform the following steps to create a utility partition:
a.
Insert the Dell Server Assistant CD into the server's CD-ROM drive and turn
on (or reboot) the system.
b.
From the Dell Server Assistant CD Main Menu, select Create utility parti-
tion and press <Enter>.
c.
At the Welcome screen, select OK and press <Enter>.
d.
At the message Installation completed successfully, select OK
and press <Enter>.
e.
Select Exit and press <Enter>.
