Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller as the Primary NetWare 5.0 Controller

☛Note

In order to enable the CD-ROM boot, the controller’s BIOS must be enabled.

4.If the controller’s BIOS is disabled, press <Enter> to enable the BIOS.

5.Use the arrow key to select “CD-ROM boot disabled” and press <Enter> to enable the CD-ROM boot.

6.Press <ESC>, then press any key. This will restart the system with the new settings.

The system will now boot from the NetWare 5.0 CD-ROM.

7.Return to the section “Installing NetWare 5.0 Drivers” and follow steps 4 through 7 to complete your driver installation.

Installing Peripherals Under NetWare 5.0

Non-disk peripheral devices, such as tape or CD-ROM drives, can be installed on any channel of the controller. Each disk or non-disk device will require a unique SCSI ID, different from any other device connected to the channel.

Each device requires a driver module connecting it to the DAC adapter. These modules are best loaded in the STARTUP.NCF file before the MDAC.HAM driver.

The common devices and required modules are:

SCSI disk drives

SCSIHD.CDM

(including Mylex

 

RAID system drives)

 

SCSI CD-ROM

SCSICD.CDM

SCSI tape drive

NWTAPE.CDM

Magneto optical drive

SCSIMO.CDM

DLT tape drive

DLTTAPE.CDM

IDE CD-ROM

IDECD.CDM

IDE disk drive

IDEHD.CDM

ASPI compliant

NWASPI.CDM
