12.2.1 Preparing an SDMS NWPA Driver Diskette

The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the
NetWare NWPA drivers in this directory:

{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\NETWARE\NWPA

Copy the NWPA HAM drivers and installation files to the root directory of
a clean 3.5-inch diskette. Label this diskette “SDMS NWPA Drivers
Diskette.” You will use this diskette during the installation process.

You can also download current NetWare NWPA drivers from the
LSI Logic Web site at:

http://www.lsilogic.com

. After you are

connected to this Web site, place your cursor on the Get Drivers option
in the menu bar. Click on the Drivers selection. Choose the Novell
NetWare operating system for SCSI and click on the Go button. Follow
the instructions on subsequent screens to download these drivers.

12.2.2 Preparing your System for NWPA Drivers

The

LSI8XXNW.HAM

,

LSIHINW.HAM

, and

LSI_U3NW.HAM

drivers support the

following DOS drivers:

ASPI8XX.SYS

(Version 4.10 or greater)

SYMCD.SYS

SYMDISK.SYS

The HAM drivers do not support the older SDMS 3.XX DOS drivers
(

DOSCAM.SYS

,

MINICAM.SYS

,

CDROM.SYS

, and

SCSIDISK.SYS

). The SDMS

BIOS version 4.18 is the minimum BIOS required for NetWare when not
used with

ASPI8XX.SYS

. For any earlier BIOS versions, use the

ASPI8XX.SYS

driver (version 4.10 or greater). Refer to

Chapter 6, “DOS

Device Driver Installation,”

for more information.

Important:

Please see

Section 12.5.4, “Using the SDMS 4.XX BIOS,”

regarding 8XX_32.ROM with SCAM enabled before
upgrading the BIOS.

To upgrade the BIOS (Boot ROM) to 4.18 or later, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Load the

FLASH8X5.EXE

program.

Step 2.

Follow the screen instructions to upgrade the BIOS.

Step 3.

Select the appropriate BIOS file (that is,
