Description

The Symbios Logic SDMS C8xx driver for Novell UnixWare and SCO UnixWare
operating systems is available on a 3.5 inch floppy diskette labeled SDMS PCI
UnixWare (2.x). Use this diskette to load the driver during the installation of the
operating system, or to access the devices on the SCSI bus after a UnixWare instal-
lation. The following sections describe these procedures.

In addition, for SCO UnixWare 2.1 and later, the Host Adapter diskette contains the
C8xx driver for use during initial installation of SCO UnixWare. If you have both
the c8xx driver directly from Symbios Logic and also the driver bundled with the
UnixWare Operating System, use the latest release of the c8xx driver.

Installing the Driver During UnixWare Installation

When performing UnixWare installation, if the computer is set up to boot from the
SCSI bus through a Symbios Logic 53C8xx chipset, the driver is automatically linked
statically with the kernel to suit the setup. You must follow the instructions in the
UnixWare Installation Handbook before installing the driver.

1. Boot the computer using the Install diskette delivered with the UnixWare Op-

erating System distribution package.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
