Adaptec AHA-1520 Installation Manual

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Copy the files from the ASW-1210 Program diskette to the
root directory of drive C using the MS-DOS COPY command.
In order for the ASPI MS-DOS Manager files to be loaded
whenever the system is booted, the CON FIG.SYS file must
contain the following DEVICE= commands:
DEVICE = ASPl2DOS.SYS
DEVICE = ASPIDISK.SYS
Using any ASCII file editor, add the individual device driver
commands to an existing CONFIG.SYS file, or follow the
instructions in the MS-DOS Operations Reference Manual to
create a new CONFIG.SYS file. FAILURE TO LOAD ALL THE
DEVICE DRIVERS IN THE CORRECT ORDER, CAUSES THE
PROGRAM TO NOT BE INSTALLED. The following command.
line options may be added to the device drivers in the
CONFIG.SYS file. (Refer to the User's Manual for details.)
DEVICE = ASPl2DOS.SYS (/DJ (/P<port address) (/L) (/VJ (/WJ
(/X<speed>) (/N<bus on time>
l
(/F<bus off time>
l
(/I).
MS-DOS provides access to physical hard disk drives C and
D. You must use the MS-DOS FDISK and
Format
programs for
drives C and D. DO NOT use AFDISK with drive C and D. To
use a hard disk partitioned by AFDISK as drive C or D, you
must use AFDISK to delete the partitions, and then use MS-
DOS FDISK to create new partitions.
When starting AFDISK program, it must be run from the root
directory of drive C or the AFDISK directory if an AFDISK
directory was created. When ready, type:
AFDISK (at the DOS prompt)
and press ENTER. The AFDISK utility is menu driven. Follow
the directions on the screen to partition and format the
selected SCSI devices. The AFDISK utility also includes an
on-line HELP file which is accessed by pressing the Fl key.
The AFDISK may be exited at any time without executing by
pressing the ESC key.
When the SCSI device(s) are successfully partitioned and
formatted, reboot the system. This saves any changes
made and allows use of the newly installed disk(s) or
partitions(s).
