Novell NetWare 386 / ASPI Driver (NLM) Installation This sub directory contains three software drivers (NLMs). These drivers are for use with the IN-2000 High Performance 16 bit SCSI Host Adapter and Novell NetWare 386 versions 3.1X. This sub directory contains the (NLMs) IN2000.DSK - an ASPI host adapter driver, ASPITRAN.DSK - a dummy file required by third party ASPI device drivers, and AHDASPI.DSK - an ASPI hard disk device driver. INTRODUCTION These drivers are for use with Novell NetWare versions 3.1 and 3.11. The drivers and adapter will support up to seven (7) SCSI devices on each IN-2000 SCSI Host Adapter. A maximum of four adapters may be installed in a system. The driver supports all System Fault Tolerant (SFT) environments including duplexing and mirroring. . If any non NetWare Ready drives are detected, they will be installed without the special NetWare Ready processing. However, once the installation has been completed, both NetWare Ready and non NetWare Ready drives may be active on the same server, at the same time. NEW INSTALLATIONS- Preliminary Steps One or more IN-2000 SCSI Host Adapters must be installed in the 386 or 486 server prior to installation of NetWare and the Always drivers. Please refer to the IN-2000 Installation Guide Section 2, "SCSI Host Adapter Installation" and Section 3,"SCSI Hard Disk Installation". In particular, pay close attention to the switch settings. Only one floppy disk controller may be enabled in the system, including one, if present, on the motherboard. When using multiple adapters each adapter must have a different setting for I/O Port Address and Interrupt Channel. Section 2.3 details the default and optional switch settings. Multiple SCSI devices may be daisy chained from one IN-2000 SCSI Host Adapter. Each device must have a different SCSI ID address setting. These addresses must be consecutive beginning at SCSI ID0. Check Section 3 of the IN-2000 Installation Guide for instructions on changing SCSI ID's. The ID addresses are automatically scanned from low to high. NetWare 3.1x does not need to be re configured if a SCSI device is moved or it's address changed. Note that address restrictions may apply to a drive with DOS partitions. NEW INSTALLATION Final Steps The 386 NLM Sub-Directory contains IN2000.DSK, ASPITRAN.DSK, and AHDASPI.DSK, which should be copied to the directory from which the NetWare server is loaded. This may be a DOS directory or a floppy. The drivers are in 'NLM' format and are activated by a LOAD command from the server console. Normally after the initial installation of NetWare, disk driver LOAD commands are stored in the STARTUP.NCF file to be automatically executed when the server is loaded. The first driver to be loaded is the IN2000 ASPI card driver, IN2000.DSK. The IN2000.DSK driver should only be invoked once. Do not specify a port base address or interrupt line value when loading the driver. The driver will automatically detect and install any properly configured IN2000 host adapter in the system. Sample load Command is LOAD \NOVEL386\IN2000 Again, the IN2000.DSK driver must be loaded only once. It is not necessary to load the ASPITRAN.DSK because it is "autoloaded" by the IN2000.DSK driver. The ASPITRAN.DSK is a non-functional "dummy" driver that must be loaded to support third party ASPI device drivers. Finally, if SCSI hard disk support is required, the AHDASPI.DSK hard disk device driver must be loaded. Sample load Command is LOAD \NOVEL386\AHDASPI The AHDASPI.DSK driver must be loaded only once. UPDATE EXISTING SERVERS STEPS: 1) "Down" the server. 2) Boot under DOS. 3) Go to the NOVELL sub-directory for the hard drive, where the *.DSK files are located. 4) Copy all the .DSK files from the ALWAYS floppy to the hard drive. 5) Add the following two lines to the STARTUP.NCF file in the NOVELL sub-directory. LOAD IN2000 LOAD AHDASPI 6) Reboot the server. *** Complete ***
