Installation diskettes (to create installation diskettes from OS/2 CD insert you OS/2 CD in the
CD-ROM drive and type CDINST).
NOTE: I2O Mode is not supported by IBM OS/2 operating system, If there is a NetRAID
adapter in the system set the NetRAID mode to Mass-Storage using Set Class utility or
NetRAID's utility (Ctrl+M) before installing OS/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
SYM_HI.ADD
MRAID.ADD
Make a list of drivers that are needed and order them based on boot priority.
Task 4) Create the HP Drivers/Utility Diskette by stepping through one of the following
procedures. There are two ways to create the drivers diskette.
Procedure One: Uses the OS/NOS icon section of the Navigator CD-ROM.
Procedure Two: Uses the "Library diskette" section of the Navigator CD-ROM.
Procedure One
1. Boot the system from the HP Navigator CD-ROM.
2. From the Main Menu, select "Configuration Assistant and Installation Assistant".
3. Select Custom.
4. Select OS/2.
5. From the menu, select the version of OS/2 that you want to Install.
