The Dell SCSI drivers for IntranetWare support the optional Adaptec AHA-2940U2W

and all Adaptec 78

xx

series SCSI controllers, are fully tested and approved for

IntranetWare, and are available on the

Dell OpenManage Server Assistant

CD. You

will need to create IntranetWare 4.11 diskettes containing these drivers if you have

not already done so. Refer to the

Dell OpenManage Server Assistant

CD to create

these diskettes.

The IntranetWare driver diskettes you create contain a number of files used by

IntranetWare. During the IntranetWare installation process, you will be asked to

select or use the following files:



aic78u2.ham  IntranetWare driver for the AIC-7890 and AHA-2940U2W host

adapters



aha2940.ham  IntranetWare driver for the AIC-7860 host adapter



nwaspi.cdm  Adaptecs device driver for a CD-ROM drive



cdrom.nlm  File required by the IntranetWare bus interface

If you have an optional RAID controller, you will also be using the pedge4x.ham file,

the IntranetWare driver for the RAID controller. Depending on the RAID controller you

have, the driver may be on the

Dell OpenManage Server Assistant

CD or on a sepa-

rate diskette included with the shipment.

In addition, the IntranetWare driver diskettes contain the driver-definition information

files for both the 78

xx

Ultra2 SCSI series host adapters and the AHA-2940U2W host

adapter. These files provide setup information to IntranetWare during installation so

that IntranetWare can prompt you with parameters to be configured for these device

drivers.

NOTE: Your system must have a bootable version of MS-DOS or Digital Researchs

DR-DOS installed before you can complete the IntranetWare installation.

After creating the driver diskettes, you will need to prepare the hard-disk drive and

then install IntranetWare 4.11. Once IntranetWare is installed, you can then install

Dell-supplied Novell patches and Support Pack 5, as well as SMP support. The follow-

ing subsections describe these procedures in detail.

NOTE: If the server has a RAID controller installed, you must set up the RAID control-

ler and drives in a valid configuration

before

you perform the procedures in the

following subsections. Refer to the RAID controller documentation to configure the

controller and drives, and then return to this section.
