11. If your server came with a RAID adapter installed, do these

steps:

a. Use the RAID adapter device-driver diskettes to specify

either the IPSRAID or DAC960.ADD driver.

b. Use the Adaptec device-driver diskette to specify the

AIC78XX.SYS driver.

12. If your server did not come with a RAID adapter installed, use

the Adaptec device-driver diskette to specify the AIC78XX.SYS
driver.

Software Considerations

IBM and other manufacturers of operating systems, network
programs, and application programs periodically make software
updates available. These updates provide enhancements and
corrections. To ensure that the software you install functions
properly, contact the manufacturers to obtain the most current
updates.

If you intend to install an IBM operating system or network
programs, such as OS/2 for SMP or OS/2 LAN Server 4.0
Advanced, you can obtain the most current software updates from
the IBM OS/2 Technical Support Center. These software updates
are called ServicePaks or corrective-service diskettes (CSDs). In the
U.S. or Canada, you can call the IBM OS/2 Technical Support
Center at 1-800-992-4777.

For the latest information about hardware device drivers supported
by your PC Server 704:

In the U.S., call IBM at 1-800-772-2227.
In Canada, call 1-800-565-3344.
In all other countries, contact the IBM support organization that
services your area, your IBM marketing representative, or your
IBM reseller.

If you connect devices to the internal integrated SCSI connectors in
a server that has a RAID adapter installed, the server might attempt
to start from these non-RAID devices.
