4. For each driver removed from the IBM OS/2 diskette #1, remove its corresponding

line in the config.sys file (also on IBM OS/2 diskette #1).

For example, if you deleted all Adaptec drivers, as explained in step 2a, above,
remove the following lines from config.sys:

basedev=aha152x.add
basedev=aha154x.add
basedev=aha164x.add
basedev=aha174x.add
basedev=aic7770.add
basedev=fd16-700.add

NOTE: If you are installing the Ultra2SCSI host adapter, then remove the
basedev=aic7870.add statement as well.)

5. In the config.sys file on IBM OS/2 diskette #1, add the line "set

copyfromfloppy=1".

This line should be added so that the install process copies the aic78U2.add or

aic7870.add driver from the IBM OS/2 diskette #1, rather than the driver in-
cluded on your IBM OS/2 CD-ROM.

NOTE: a. For Ultra2SCSI host adapters, Add "BASEDEV=aic78U2.add" to
the top line of config.sys on IBM OS/2 diskette #1. This may result in two
"BASEDEV=aic78U2.add" statements in the config.sys file.

b. For UltraSCSI or earlier host adapters, add "BASEDEV=aic7870.add" to the

top line of config.sys on IBM OS/2 diskette #1. This will result in two
"BASEDEV=aic7870.add" statements in the config.sys file.)

6. Run the IBM OS/2 installation program; follow the instructions in your IBM

OS/2 documentation, until you reach the System Configuration window.

7. In the System Configuration window, click the SCSI Adapter Support icon.

8. Deselect any highlighted adapters (including the Adaptec 294x, 394x, AIC7870

PCI SCSI), and click OK. The text box for SCSI Adapter Support should say
"None".

NOTE: If these adapters are not deselected, the driver included on the CD-
ROM will be copied over the driver being installed.)

9. Follow the instructions in your IBM OS/2 documentation to complete the instal-

lation.

NOTE: Verify after installation is complete, that only one
"BASEDEV=aic78U2.add" or "BASEDEV=aic7870.add" statement exists in your

config.sys file on your hard drive. Remove other instances if more than one is found.
