Installing the Driver

To install the driver file to the OS/2 directory on your boot drive:

1. Place the OS/2 SSD diskettes in the floppy drive.

2. From the OS/2 command prompt, change the drive to A: by typing:

a:

Then

type:

Ddinstal

3. Click the Change button to change the source directory to A:/ADD.

4. Select Compaq Array Driver for OS/2 from the list of drivers. Click OK

to continue.

5. The

CPQARRAY.ADD driver file will be copied to the x:\os2 directory

(where x is the boot drive). The CONFIG.SYS file will be updated to load
this driver first on boot. This means that the first drive on this controller
is the boot drive.

6. If you do not want to boot from a drive on this controller–for instance, if

you wanted to boot from a drive attached to the integrated SCSI
controller–you must manually change the CONFIG.SYS file before you
reboot the server. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to reorder the
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD statement so that it appears after the
BASEDEV statement corresponding to the boot driver.

7. Save the updated CONFIG.SYS file and exit the editor.

8. Perform a normal system shutdown and reboot the server to load the new

driver.
