If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with section 3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users. If not, continue with 4.0 Detailed installation instructions.
3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. FDISK the drive. Ensure an active primary partition the size of your RAM + 50MB.
2. Install PC DOS 7 (optional components not required).
3. Follow the directions in the README.TXT from 300SCSI.EXE to create CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for CD-ROM support and copy the necessary files from the diskette to the hard drive. Boot from the resulting DOS configuration and perform a standard Novell 3.12 install.
4. The loading order of fixes and disk drivers is noted in the README on the 300SCSI diskette, which contains the required files.
5. It is mandatory to apply all fixes and patches from http://support.novell.com for correct operation.
4.0 Detailed installation instructions
Follow the instructions below in sequence:
4.1 Setting up the BIOS
Note: Follow the on screen directions on the following disk operation:
Boot to the BIOS upgrade diskette for your particular 300 submodel (listed in section 2.0) and flash the system to the appropriate BIOS revision.
4.2 Running the EISA configuration
300 Server EISA Configuration Instructions:
1. Boot to the 300 EISA Configuration Diskette (listed in section 2.0).
2. At the first screen press Enter.
3. Select step #2, Add or Remove Boards.
4. Press Insert to add a board. Press Enter at the following screen.
5. Choose Basic VGA ISA Adapter and Press Enter.
6. Select Slot #1 and press Enter. Push F10 when done.
7. Select step #3, View and Edit Details.
8. Select Total System Board Memory option. Enter the correct installed memory size.
9. Press F10 when done.
10. Select step #5, Save and Exit.
11. Remove the diskette and select to Save Configuration and Restart Computer. Press Enter to reboot.
4.3 Setting up the IBM Fast SCSI subsystem
Note: For open bay models or any SCSI chain setup issues, download Faxback document # 33050 from 800-426-3395.
The IBM Fast Controller has no setup utilities or configurations. Ensure that the hard drive boot target is at SCSI ID 6 and boot the machine. Verify that the SCSI devices are scanned and the BIOS for the controller loads.
4.4 Installing the NOS
1. Boot your PC DOS 7 installation diskette. Select Y when asked if you wish to install.
2. When PC DOS asks you to partition the drive, select Allocate some free hard disk space for PC DOS.
3. FDISK now starts. Select #1, Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive. Select #1, Create Primary DOS Partition. When asked 'Do you want to use the maximum available size...?' enter N. For the partition size, enter the amount of your system RAM, plus 50MB and press Enter. Press Esc to return to the main FDISK screen.
4. Select #2, Set Active Partition. Enter the partition number of the partition you just created and press Enter. Press Esc twice to continue (system reboots, leave the DOS diskette in the diskette drive).
5. Repeat step 1. When the screen prompts, select Format Partition. After completion, press Enter at the Welcome screen. Press Enter again after verifying the date, time, etc.
6. A list is presented of optional components. Ensure all options say NO and the path to the DOS install target is C:\DOS. Select Continue Setup. Follow on screen directions until DOS asks you to remove all diskettes and press any key to restart.
7. After booting to the C prompt, type the following:
DEL C:\CONFIG.SYS <enter>
DEL C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT <enter>
Place the 300SCSI.EXE disk in the drive. Create a DOS directory on the C drive called SCSI. Copy the following files from the diskette to this directory:
IBMPCICD.SYS
IBMASPCI.SYS
MSCDEX.EXE
IBMPSCSI.DSK
IBMASPI.NLM
IBMENTRY.NLM
ASPI50.NLM
SCSISCAN.NLM
\NW312\DAICCFIX.NLM
\NW312\REALMFIX.NLM
\NW312\PM312.NLM
8. Type the following at the C prompt:
E CONFIG.SYS
Create the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\SCSI\IBMASPCI.SYS /Q
DEVICE=C:\SCSI\IBMPCICD.SYS
FILES=40
BUFFERS=30
STACKS=9,256
LASTDRIVE=Z
Press F4 to save and exit.
9. Type the following at the C prompt:
E AUTOEXEC.BAT
Create the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
@ECHO OFF
C:\SCSI\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
Press F4 to save and exit. Remove the diskette and reboot the machine.
10. After rebooting, place the Netware 3.12 CD in the CD-ROM drive and switch to the drive letter of the CD-ROM (it was echoed on boot when MSCDEX loaded). Change to the \NETWARE.312\English directory. Type INSTALL and press Enter.
11. Read the Ethernet Frame Type message and press Enter. Select to Install Netware 3.12 from the menu. Select to Retain Current Disk Partitions.
12. Enter the desired ServerName. Accept the given internal network number. Accept default source and target paths. File copy now begins (insert the SYSTEM_1 diskette as prompted). Accept all defaults until the copy operation completes and you are at a Netware command prompt.
13. The patches for 3.12 must be loaded first. Type the following:
load c:\scsi\daiccfix.nlm
load c:\scsi\realmfix.nlm
Next, load the SCSI driver:
load c:\scsi\ibmpscsi.dsk
Write down the slot number presented, then Press Enter to accept it. Type load install. Choose the appropriate SCSI hard drive as presented from the list, then select Disk Options, Partition Tables, Create Netware Partition. Accept the default size and other parameters to take the balance of freespace (press Esc). Select Yes to create. Press Esc three times. Select Volume Options. Press Ins to create a new volume. Accept the default name of SYS along with the other parameters and press Esc. Press Esc again to save the volume. Select System Options, Copy System and Public Files. Read the message about mounting the SYS volume and press Esc. Select Yes to mount it. Press F6 when prompted to install from the CD.
14. Enter the path you ran Install from in Step 10. File copy now begins. When complete, press Esc to continue. Select to Create AUTOEXEC.NCF File. Accept the text and press Esc. Select Yes to save. Select to Create STARTUP.NCF File. Accept the default path. You must now manually create the load lines exactly as manually entered in step 13 for daiccfix and realmfix (before the existing ibmpscsi line). Change the IBMPSCSI line to read:
load c:\scsi\ibmpscsi.dsk slot=<insert the slot number recorded in step 13>
Note: On our test installation the slot was reflected as 11 in step 13, but a hexadecimal B was autoinserted in the STARTUP.NCF. Netware did not accept this on reboot, and required an entry of 11 as was recorded in step 13.
Press Esc. Select Yes to save. Select Return to Main Menu. Select to Exit. Verify by choosing Yes. Down the server from the command prompt. Type exit to return to DOS and remove any floppy diskettes. Reboot with the new config files to verify their operation. You are now up at the Netware command prompt and the Install NLM is available for further configuration.
15. At this point the installation varies according to your choices for setting up the server. Follow the on screen directions to complete the install and for adding additional components and features.
Note: The current patch level for Netware 3.12 is required for correct operation. Download all advertised patches and fixes from http://support.novell.com to complete the installation.
