3-14 Dell PowerEdge 4200 Systems User’s Guideslot number described in “Calculating the SlotNumber” found earlier in this section.The correct syntax statement to load the Adaptecseries 78xx driver follows:load [pathname] aic7870.dsk [options] slot=xCommand line options are not case-sensitive. Plac-ing commas between command line options isoptional. See “Using the load Command LineOptions” found later in this section for optionalvalues.NOTE: The aspitran.dsk module must reside in thesame path as the aic7870.dsk driver because Net-Ware attempts to load the aspitran.dsk fileautomatically.6. Load the driver for the first installed hostadapter. If you have additional host adapters, youmust load the driver again separately for eachhost adapter.NetWare determines whether loading the drivercauses any conflicts between the host adapter andother installed adapters. If there is a possibility ofconflict, the driver is not loaded.NOTE: To load the driver automatically at serverstart-up, copy the driver to the server’s start-updirectory and modify the startup.ncf file. See thefollowing subsection, “Using NetWare to Install orUpdate the Driver,” and “Using startup.ncf andautoexec.ncf” found later in this section for moreinformation.Using NetWare to Install or Update theDriverThis section describes how to update or install theaic7870.dsk driver if NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 SMP isalready installed. If you are installing NetWare 3.12 or4.11 SMP for the first time, see “Installing NetWare andthe Driver” found earlier in this section.The instructions for updating or installing the driver aresimilar for both NetWare 3.12 and 4.11 SMP. Proceduresthat are specific to a particular NetWare version arenoted.1. Make a backup copy of the old driver (if it exists)before installing the new driver.2. Copy the aic7870.dsk driver and aspitran.dsk mod-ule from the NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 SMP driverdiskette you created into the server’s start-updirectory (usually, c:\nwserver) on your hard-diskdrive. Doing so overwrites any existing version ofthe drivers in the directory.NOTE: For both NetWare 3.12 and 4.11 SMP, theaic7870.dsk and aspitran.dsk files are located inthe scsi subdirectory on the diskette.3. If necessary, modify the load command line in thestartup.ncf file so that the proper path to thedriver and the correct slot number are specified.See “Using startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf” foundlater in this section.The correct syntax to load the Adaptec 78xx driverfollows:load [pathname] aic7870.dsk [options] slot=xCommand line options are not case-sensitive.
