Installing the New Driver 13
SCO OpenServer
If you have obtained 6543.z, either by downloading it from the Comtrol
ftp site or on DOS-formatted media, follow these steps to extract the
file and create a UNIX installation diskette.
1. If needed, copy the file to your UNIX server. For example, if
copying from a DOS diskette in your A: drive, enter this command:
doscp a:6543.z
2. Enter this command to rename the file: mv 6543.z 6543.Z
3. Enter this command to extract the driver: uncompress 6543.Z
4. Enter this command to copy the resulting file to a blank diskette:
dd if=6543 of=/dev/rfd?135ds18
Where ? is 0 if this is the primary or 1 if it is the secondary drive.
Software Installation
If you have changed the hardware configuration, added or removed
controller boards, or are upgrading to a new version of the driver,
remove the existing RocketPort/RocketModem device driver before
proceeding. For more information, see Removing the Existing Driver.
To install a new device driver, follow these steps:
1. Boot the system and log in as the system administrator (root).
2. Invoke the custom utility.
For more information about the custom utility, see the System
Administrator’s Guide or the online manual page for custom.
3. Select Software.
4. Select Install New.
5. Select From scosysv (where scosysv is your system name).
6. Insert the installation diskette in the primary drive. Select the
appropriate device (e.g., floppy disk drive 0) and press Enter.
7. Select Install.
8. Enter the number of ISA RocketPort/RocketModem boards
installed in the system.
9. Choose a valid I/O address for each ISA controller board. These
must match the I/O addresses set using the DIP switches on the
boards during hardware installation. (For more information see
the Hardware Reference Card that came with your board.)
10. Enter the number of PCI RocketPort/RocketModem boards
installed in the system.
11. If you do not have any RocketModem boards installed in your
system, press N.
