Chapter 2 Installing drivers and host cards
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 95
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 65.
3. If required, remove any host cards you want from your system. See Removing host
cards on page 101.
4. Using the Serial Manager utility, configure the serial ports you have added to the system.
See Configuring serial ports on page 67.
Your system can now use the serial adaptor cards you have installed. If required, you can
reconfigure serial ports following initial installation.
Note
Once you have installed the SPEED drivers, if you a dd or rem o ve any ho s t cards t h e
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.
