NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation
We recommend that you make backup copies
of
all Novell and Adaptec supplied diskettes
using "DISKCOPY" and use those backup copies as your working diskettes.
Use the NetWare 386 v3.1 file SERVER.EXE to start the installation process. You will
be
prompted for a file server name and an IPX internal network number. Consult the
NetWare 386 user's manual for this information.
Installing a disk driver into NetWare 386 requires use
of
the LOAD console command.
The driver will need
to
be
loaded for each host adapter into the system.
For
example,
if
you have three host adapters, you will need to load the driver three times. Note that
if
the
driver is reentrant, only one image
of
the driver will remain in memory (AHA1540.DSK,
AHAl640.DSK, and AHA1740.DSK are reentrant). The driver for the AHA-1540/1542
would be loaded:
:load
[path)
aha1540
[parameters)
<Enter>
When you load the driver, you need to tell it which host adapter you are loading the driver
for. For the AHA-1540/1542, you do this with the "port
= xxx" command line (i.e., load
AHA1540 port
=330). The driver will read the interrupt level and DMA channel from the
host adapter and pass this information to the NetWare operating system.
For the AHA-1640
or
AHA-1740/1744, you specify the host adapter with the "slot = x"
command line option (i.e., load
AHAl640
slot = 3). The rlriver will read necessary host
adapter information and pass this information to NetWare.
If
you do not specify the port
or
slot setting, you will
be
prompted for one.
Command line options can
be
separated by spaces
or
commas, and they're not white-space
sensitive.
NetWare will determine
if
loading the driver will cause any conflicts (i.e., two host
adapters at DMA 5).
If
there is a possibility for a conflict, the driver will not
be
loaded.
The next section describes the valid command line options.
