Seagate 240 DDS-4 manual Novell

A-42 Scorpion 240 Autoloader Installation Manual

Configuration 1: If you are using the existing Novell TAPEDAI driver or a version of the NWTAPE driver created before 11/3/99, you must change the Operating-System Configuration Dip switches so that switches 5 and 8 are OFF, as shown in the table above. This is different from their default settings (all switches ON).

Configuration 2: If you use the latest Novell NWTAPE driver (available on the Novell web site), the Operating-System Configuration Dip switches should be left in their default positions (all switches ON). From the administrator workstation, place the new NWTAPE driver in the same directory as the TAPEDAI driver (usually the system directory). Edit any .ncf files, such as autoexec.ncf, which call the TAPEDAI driver and replace calls to TAPEDAI with NWTAPE. Do not delete the TAPEDAI driver, because it may come in handy in resolving future problems.

Novell 5.x

There are two possible ways to configure the Scorpion 240 to work with Novell 5.x, depending on which tape driver you use.

Configuration 1: If you are still using the original Novell NWTAPE driver or any version created before 11/3/99, you must change the Operating-System Configuration Dip switches so that switches 5 and 8 are OFF, as shown in the table on the front of this sheet. This is different from their default settings (all switches ON).

Configuration 2: If you use the latest Novell NWTAPE driver (available on the Novell web site), the Operating-System Configuration Dip switches can be left in their default positions (all switches ON). Before installing the new NWTAPE driver, first rename the old NWTAPE driver (usually found in the system directory). Then copy the new version of NWTAPE into the same directory. Do not delete the old driver, because it might come in handy in resolving future problems.
