Within GDTSETUP, each level of hierarchy has its own special menu:

/HYHO

Ö Menu: Configure Physical Devices

/HYHO

Ö Menu: Configure Logical Drives

/HYHO

Ö Menu: Configure Array Drives

/HYHO

Ö Menu: Configure Host Drives

Generally, each installation procedure passes through these 4 menus, starting with level 1.

Therefore:

 First initialize the Physical Drives.

 Then configure the Logical Drives.

 Then configure the Array Drives (e.g. Array Drives with RAID 0, 1, 4, 5

and 10).

 Finally, configure the Host Drives.

A SCSI device that is not a SCSI hard disk or a removable hard disk, or that does not behave

like one, is called a Not Direct Access Device.

Such a device is

not configured with GDTSETUP and does not form a Logical or Host

Drive

. SCSI devices of this kind are either operated through the ASPI interface (Advanced

SCSI programming Interface) (MS-DOS, Windows, Novell NetWare or OS/2), or are directly

accessed from the operating system (UNIX, Windows NT). For more information on how to

use these devices, please refer to the corresponding chapters of this manual. Note: hard

disks and removable hard disks are called Direct Access Devices. However, there are some Not

Direct Access Devices, for instance certain MO drives, which can be operated just like remov-

able hard disks if they have been appropriately configured before (for example by changing

their jumper setting).

But enough on the dry theory. Now here are the examples which explain step by step

all the necessary basics for setting up Host Drives with your ICP Controller

This example is applicable to all ICP Controllers.

We presume that the controller and the SCSI hard disks have been installed properly.

You can load GDTSETUP in two ways:

1. Press the <CTRL><G> key combination when the GDT BIOS message comes up (shortly

after switching on the computer) and load GDTSETUP from the Flash-RAM of the ICP

Controller. In this case no operating system is required.

If GDTSETUP was loaded this way, there is an "R" (ROM) behind the version number.

2. Load GDTSETUP from disk under MS-DOS. Boot the MS-DOS-operating system (either

from a boot-floppy or from an already existing boot drive, i.e., IDE-hard disk etc.). In or-

der for GDTSETUP to work properly, you have to load the device driver GDTX000 first.

This can be done in two ways:

a.) Load GDTX000 from the DOS-command level by typing in GDTX000<ENTER>
