LSI8XXNW.HAM,

LSIHINW.HAM,

and

LSI_U3NW.HAM

and the NetWare installation files

LSI8XXNW.DDI

,

LSIHINW.DDI

, and

LSI_U3NW.DDI

.

LSI8XXNW.HAM

,

LSIHINW.HAM

, and

LSI_U3NW.HAM

are NWPA Host

Adapter Modules (HAMs). In order to support SCSI devices, you must
load the HAM module in conjunction with a SCSI Custom Device Module
(CDM). Novell has developed generic CDMs to support SCSI-2 Hard
Drives, SCSI CD-ROM devices, SCSI MO devices, SCSI tape devices,
and SCSI changer devices. In addition, third party vendors are
developing CDMs for device specific support.

12.1.4 Supporting NWPA ASPI

The NWASPI driver for NetWare provides NWPA ASPI support. NetWare
or third party applications may use this interface to communicate with a
SCSI device attached to an LSI Logic controller, including SCSI-2 tape
devices using

NWTAPE.CDM

.

12.2 Using NWPA NetWare Drivers

You will install NetWare as described in the Novell NetWare Installation
Manual. The information in subsequent sections provides assistance
during the installation process.

The SDMS NWPA NetWare drivers must be loaded once for each
LSI Logic controller SCSI channel present in the system. You must
prepare an SDMS Driver Diskette before proceeding with the installation
instructions.
