Installing and using drivers and
other software
Some tips on installing and using drivers or other software in critical
situations or under particular circumstances are provided below.
Installing video drivers
Included with your system is a Cirrus Logic Windows NT 4.0 v1.40
diskette. When loading your video drivers, use the drivers provided on this
diskette instead of the ones on the Windows NT CD-ROM. The drivers on
the Windows NT CD-ROM may not work correctly with your system.
Installing the NetWare 4.11 driver
When installing the second instance driver for the second SCSI controller,
the server will generate interrupts that hang the server. To resolve this issue,
replace the MPS14.PSM file that is installed during the NetWare 4.11
installation with an updated version of the file. The updated file can be
obtained from the Netware Service Pack 5 utility patch provided by Novell.
Use one of the following two methods to update the MPS14.PSM file:
• After NetWare is installed and before loading the second on-board
SCSI driver, the updated MPS14.PSM file can be copied to the
C:\NWSERVER subdirectory to overwrite the older version placed
during installation. Restart the server and the second on-board
SCSI driver will load successfully.
• During the NetWare installation, select SMP support, a message to
install an unlisted PSM file will display. Path to the location of the
updated PSM file and load it. Once loaded, the updated PSM file
will automatically be copied to the NetWare installation directory.
Once the file has been copied you can successfully load the second
on-board SCSI driver.
