Section 2. Creating The Hp Drivers/Utilities Diskette - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Software Install Manual

Manager on the drive with the lowest SCSI ID. The system will boot from the drive with the
lowest SCSI address among the drives connected to the first controller in the boot order. HP
recommends SCSI ID 0 for the boot drive. If you configure the boot drive with another SCSI ID,
your system may not boot when additional SCSI drives are installed later.

Section 2. Creating the HP Drivers/Utilities Diskette

The "Drivers/Utilities" diskette is referred to in the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM and other
HP documentation as the "Drivers Diskette." The purpose of this diskette is to accomplish the
following three tasks:
Task 1) To backup one (or more) of your OS/2 installation diskettes. For OS/2 Warp and later
products, only Diskette 1 is backed up. We will refer to this backup copy of OS/2 Diskette 1 as
the "Work Diskette 1". When you install OS/2, you will use the backup copies in place of the
original diskettes that came in the OS/2 box.
Task 2) Identify the unused drivers on "Work Diskette 1" to make room for new drivers. Delete
the unwanted drivers from the "Work Diskette 1".
Task 3) Identify the required drivers for the system. Based on the boot setup the following
drivers may be needed. Example:
AIC7870.add
SYM8xx.ADD
MRAID.ADD
AIC78U2.ADD
Make a list of drivers that are neede and order them based on boot priority.
Task 4) Create HP Drivers/Utility Diskette by stepping through one of the following procedures.
There are two ways to create the drivers diskette.
Podedure One: Uses the OS/NOS icon section of the Navigator CDROM.
Pocedure Two: Uses the "Library diskette" section of the Navigator CDROM.
NOTE: Starting March 1997 the OS/2 drivers were split into two diskettes as follows.
Diskette #1: Contains the SCSI - DAC drivers and utility. Diskette #2: Contains the NIC
drivers.
Procedure One
1. Boot with the HP Navigator CD-ROM.
2. From the Main Menu, select "Configuration Assistant".
3. Select Custom.
