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.
