General installation procedure for SCO UnixWare

The general procedure for installing and configuring host cards, drivers software and associated utilities for the SCO UnixWare operating system is as follows:

1.Install any UltraPort cards you require into your system. See Installing host cards and cable accessories on page 94

Note

Once you have installed the SPEED drivers, if you add or remove any host cards the operating system will update the kernel accordingly using the spdconf program.

spdconf is run automatically during boot up and checks to see if any host cards have been added or removed since the last time the system was powered up. If anything has changed the files which identify the ports, terminals and transparent printing are updated.

2.If required, install the SPEED SCO UnixWare drivers and utilities onto your system using the procedures described in Installing drivers and utilities on page 64.

3.If required, remove any host cards you want from your system. See Removing host cards on page 100.

4.Using the Serial Manager utility, configure the serial ports you have added to the system. See Configuring serial ports on page 66.

Your system can now use the serial adaptor cards you have installed. If required, you can reconfigure serial ports following initial installation.
