DOS Device Driver Installation

Copyright © 1993–2001 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.

To run this utility, three files are required:

ASPIFMT.EXE

,

ASPIINF.DAT

, and

ASPI8XX.SYS

(you may use another ASPI manager).

LSI Logic recommends that you place these files on a DOS bootable
diskette, and run the executable file from this diskette rather than from a
hard disk drive. This minimizes the possibility of interfering with the
system.

6.6.1.3 Running the SDMS SCSI Low-Level Format Utility

To run the SDMS Format Utility, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Create a DOS bootable diskette.

Step 2.

Add these DOS files to the diskette:

Step 3.

FDISK.EXE

FORMAT.COM

Since the hard drive remains unusable after a low-level format
until you execute the

DOS FDISK

and

FORMAT

command

procedures, the

CONFIG.SYS

file on this bootable diskette must

also contain these DOS files.

Step 4.

Add the ASPI files from the SDMS Software Device Driver and
Utilities CD-ROM and found in this directory:

{CD-ROM DRIVE LETTER}: \UTILITY\DOS

ASPIFMT.EXE

ASPIINF.DAT

Step 5.

Run

INSTALL.EXE

to perform a default or custom installation

of the SCSI DOS device drivers.

Locate this program on the SDMS Software Device Driver and
Utilities CD-ROM in this directory:

{CD-ROM DRIVE LETTER}: \UTILITY\DOS

Please note that

SYMDISK.SYS

is required only if you are

formatting removable media drivers.

ASPI8XX.SYS

SYMDISK.SYS
