11.If your server came with a RAID adapter installed, do these steps:

a.Use the RAID adapter device-driver diskettes to specify either the IPSRAID or DAC960.ADD driver.

b.Use the Adaptec device-driver diskette to specify the AIC78XX.SYS driver.

Software Considerations

IBM and other manufacturers of operating systems, network programs, and application programs periodically make software updates available. These updates provide enhancements and corrections. To ensure that the software you install functions properly, contact the manufacturers to obtain the most current updates.

If you intend to install an IBM operating system or network programs, such as OS/2 for SMP or OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced, you can obtain the most current software updates from the IBM OS/2 Technical Support Center. These software updates are called ServicePaks or corrective-service diskettes (CSDs). In the U.S. or Canada, you can call the IBM OS/2 Technical Support Center at 1-800-992-4777.

For the latest information about hardware device drivers supported by your PC Server 704:

ŸIn the U.S., call IBM at 1-800-772-2227.

ŸIn Canada, call 1-800-565-3344.

ŸIn all other countries, contact the IBM support organization that services your area, your IBM marketing representative, or your IBM reseller.

If you connect devices to the internal integrated SCSI connectors in a server that has a RAID adapter installed, the server might attempt to start from these non-RAID devices.
