IBM OS/2

First-Time Installation of IBM OS/2 2.1X/Warp/SMP From Floppy Diskette

NOTE: To install the driver, it is necessary to copy the driver from the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set v3.00 diskette for IBM OS/2 on to the IBM OS/2 Diskette #1. However, before you can copy the driver, you must first remove various files from the IBM OS/2 Diskette #1, as explained in step 2 below.)

1.Make backup copies of the Installation Diskette and Disk #1.

2.Delete some of the existing files on the backup copy of the IBM OS/2 diskette #1 so that approximately 140 KB of disk space is available on the diskette. Use the following information to help you decide which files to delete.

a)If the Adaptec 7800 Family host adapter is the only Adaptec host adapter installed in your system, delete all other Adaptec drivers (aha152x.add, aha154x.add, aha164x.add, aha174x.add, aic7770.add, aic7870.add, and fd16- 700.add).

b)If you have an Adaptec host adapter that is not part of the 7800 Family , delete all of the Adaptec drivers not used by that particular host adapter. For example, if you have an Adaptec AHA-1540CP host adapter installed in your computer, delete all Adaptec drivers except for the aha154x.add driver.

c)If you have deleted the suggested Adaptec drivers above, and if you do not have a Microchannel architecture system, and you still do not have approxi- mately 140 KB of disk space available on the diskette, delete these files: ibm2flpy.add, ibm2adsk.add, and ibm2scsi.add.

NOTE: If you have a combination PCI/Microchannel architecture system, you need to delete third-party driver files not required.)

3.If you are installing IBM OS/2 2.1X, use the backup copies of the Installation Diskette and Disk #1 to do the following:

a)Copy OS2LDR from the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set v3.00 diskette onto the Installation Diskette.

b)Copy IBMINT13.I13 from the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set v3.00 diskette onto Disk #1.

NOTE: You do not need these files when installing IBM OS/2 Warp or SMP.
