Loading the Driver at Server Bootup

To automatically load the adpt160m.ham at server bootup, the startup.ncf file (usually located in your server’s startup directory) must contain a load command line that specifies the location of the driver and any appropriate command line options (see “Using the Load Command Line Options” on this page). For additional information on the startup.ncf file, refer to your NetWare documentation.

The correct syntax to load the driver is:

load [pathname]adpt160m.ham [options]

For example, the command line to load directory, with the verbose= option on

the driver from the c:\nwserver is:

load c:\nwserver\adpt160m verbose=y

Command line options are not case sensitive. Placing commas between command line options is optional. See “Using the Load Command Line Options” on page 55 for possible values.

To modify the startup.ncf file, follow these steps:

NOTE You can also use your DOS text editor to modify the startup.ncf file.

1.Type load install at the NetWare prompt and press Enter.

2.Select the appropriate menu choice that allows you to edit the startup.ncf file.

3.Make the necessary changes. When you are done, press Esc.

Using the Load Command Line Options

You can specify several command line options when the driver is loaded. The available options are described in the table below. This table describes command line options for the adpt160m.ham driver for Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter.
