Installation Procedure
To install OS/2 from your OS/2 CD-ROM disc, you first need to verify that your
SCSI interface board is supported by OS/2. Check your OS/2 manual and the
README file on the floppy disk that comes with the OS/2 CD-ROM for
information on which SCSI interface boards OS/2 supports.
If your SCSI interface board is on OS/2's list of supported hardware, you can
follow the installation instructions provided by IBM.
However, if your SCSI interface board is not on OS/2's list of supported
hardware, you must contact the manufacturer of your board and request an
OS/2 software device driver, see listing page 66.
The OS/2 device driver files that you need from your SCSI interface board's
manufacturer end with an .ADD extension. They need to be copied into the
CONFIG.SYS file on the OS/2 installation floppy disk. Your SCSI interface
board manufacturer will provide you with specific instructions.
Adding CD-ROM Support
After OS/2 Has Already Been Installed
1) You first need to verify that your SCSI interface board is supported by
OS/2. Check your OS/2 manual, and the README file on the floppy
disk that comes with the OS/2 CD-ROM, for information on which
SCSI interface boards OS/2 supports. If your SCSI interface board is
included on the list of supported hardware, you can skip to Step 3.
2) If your SCSI interface board is not on OS/2's list of supported hardware,
you must contact the manufacturer of your board and request an OS/2
software device driver, see listing page 66.
3) Once you have confirmed that your SCSI interface board is supported
by OS/2, or you have obtained the necessary device driver files, run
OS/2's Selective Install program to set up your SCSI interface board
and CD-ROM drive. In the SCSI Host field, select your board. (If your
board was already installed and running, your SCSI interface board
should already be selected, and there is no need for you to change
this entry.) The CD-ROM drive should automatically be detected. In
the event that the CD-ROM drive is not seen, please go to the
CD-ROM Drive field, select Texel/Plextor 3024/5024, 3028/5028,
4PleX. Then, select Install and insert the OS/2 floppy disks when
requested. After rebooting, your CD-ROM drive should appear in the
Drives folder.
