Installing the Driver

Install the driver file to the OS/2 directory on your boot drive:

1. Place the Compaq SSD for IBM OS/2 installation diskette labeled

System and Storage Drivers into the diskette drive.

2. From the OS/2 command prompt, type:

A: Ddinstal

3. Click Change to change the source directory to A:/ADD.

4. Select Compaq Array Driver for OS/2 from the list of drivers.

5. Click OK to continue.

The CPQARRAY.ADD driver file is copied to the x:\os2 directory
(where x is the boot drive) and the CONFIG.SYS file is updated to load
the driver first at startup. In other words, the drive on this controller is
the boot drive.

IMPORTANT: To boot from a drive attached to the integrated SCSI controller, or other
drive, change the CONFIG.SYS file before you reboot the server. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file
to reorder the BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD statement so that it appears after the BASEDEV
statement corresponding to the boot driver.

6. Save the updated CONFIG.SYS file and exit the editor.

7. Perform a normal system shutdown and restart the server to load the

new driver.

8. Proceed to the last section in this chapter, “Updating the Compaq

Insight Management Agents.”
