Server Assistant CD

" provides instructions for creating these diskettes.

The Dell SCSI drivers for NetWare are fully tested and approved for NetWare. The NetWare scsi subdirectory on the NetWare 4.2 drivers diskette
that you create contains files to be used with NetWare 4.2. The files appear in the scsi subdirectory on the NetWare driver diskette.

Installing NetWare 4.2

This section describes how to install the system SCSI drivers at the same time you install NetWare 4.2. If NetWare 4.2 is already installed and you
want to install or update the adpu160.ham and aha2940.ham drivers, refer to the NetWare User's Guide for installation instructions. Also, refer to
the NetWare User's Guide for information about partitioning, creating a server name, and checking the Internetwork Packet eXchange (IPX)
network number.

Before beginning, prepare your system with the Dell intraNetWare support diskette.  Perform the following steps only if you are upgrading to 
NetWare 4.2 or installing it for the first time:

1. Make backup copies of all NetWare diskettes and use those backup copies as your working diskettes.

2. Boot the system to a DOS prompt.

3. Change to the CD-ROM drive prompt.


The installation files are located in the root directory on the CD.

4. Type install and press <Enter>.

5. Select a language at the language selection screen and press <Enter>.

6. Select whether you want to perform a simple or custom installation and press <Enter>.


If you select a simple installation, you can press <F1> to view the defaults for the installation.

7. If you are prompted to install NetWare symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP), select No.


Even if you plan to install NetWare SMP, select No at this screen. The intraNetWare Support Pack 4 or later must be applied before
NetWare SMP can be installed.

The system now searches for existing device drivers and hardware.

8. Press <F3> to continue through the next few screens.

9. When a screen appears asking you to select a disk driver, press <Ins>.

10. Insert the backup copy of the NetWare 4.2 driver diskette that you created in step 1 into the diskette drive.


If you have not already created this diskette, see "

Using the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD

" for instructions.

11. Press <F3>, and type the path to the adpu160.ham driver for NetWare (for example, a:\scsi).

12. Select the adpu160.ham

 driver and press <Enter>.  


The system prompts you for a slot number for the device.

13. Press <Alt><Esc> to switch to the console prompt, type load a:\[path]adpu160.ham, and press <Enter>.


A list of slot numbers is displayed separated by commas. Write down all slot numbers that are listed and press <Esc> to clear the command
line. Press <Alt><Esc> to return to the installation screen.

14. Enter the slot number for the driver and press <Enter>.

15. Press <Enter> to save the parameters and continue.

16. When you are prompted to select an additional disk driver, select Yes.

17. Repeat steps 13 through 16 for each driver as necessary.

18. Select Continue the Installation to create disk partitions and system volumes and to specify volume names following the procedures listed

in the NetWare User's Guide.

19. To load the driver automatically at server start-up, make sure that the startup.ncf file includes the load command line and correct slot

NOTE: Your system must have a bootable version of DOS installed before you can complete the Novell NetWare installation. 

NOTE: Specific help text for each driver appears in the middle of the screen as you scroll down the list. The Loaded Drivers
window below the list of available drivers displays the names of drivers that are loaded and operational. For a new installation,
this list is initially empty. For a selective installation, the list shows the drivers already running.
