If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with 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. Ensure the Adaptec controller is set up properly and low-level format the drive. (Extended BIOS translation is to be disabled for NetWare 3.12 before low leveling.)
2. FDISK the drive. Ensure an active primary partition the size of your RAM + 50MB.
3. Install PC DOS 7 (optional components not required). When complete, run UINSTALL from the root of the IDECDROM.EXE diskette for IDE CD-ROM support, or run DOSINST from the EZ SCSI diskette depending on the 704 model.
4. Locate the NetWare files on the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set Diskette and copy to a new directory (e.g. C:\ADAPTEC)
on the DOS partition. Start the NetWare install from CD #1 by running Install from the appropriate language directory under \SERVER.312 directory on the CD-ROM. Load AIC7870.DSK from the directory you created for the 7800 FM Set files and add the appropriate lines to STARTUP.NCF. Install and configure networking components as normal.
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 BIOS
Note: Follow the on screen directions on the following disk operations:
Boot to the BIOS upgrade diskette (listed in section 2.0) and flash the system to revision 14.
4.2 Setting up the Hardware
Running the System Configuration Utility (SCU) Diskette on the 704 Server:
1. Boot from the SCU Disk.
2. Select #1, Execute AMI SCU, then press Enter at the logo screen.
3. Select Step #3, Change Configuration Settings.
4. Select System Board. Under MP Spec Version set to MP Spec v1.4.
5. Press Esc to return to the Main Menu. Select Step #4, Save Configuration.
6. When the save is complete, Select Step #6, Exit. Press Enter at the next screen.
4.3 Setting up the Adaptec SCSI subsystem
Note: For open bay models or any SCSI chain setup issues, download Faxback document # 33050 from 800-426-3395.
1. Boot the server and press Ctrl A when prompted on the screen to enter SCSI Select.
2. Select Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.
3. Press F6 to restore defaults. Select Yes to reset all options to default. Open SCSI device configuration. On the lines which say Send Start Unit Command set all IDs for active hard disks to Yes.
4. Press Esc to return to previous menu
5. Select Advanced Configuration options.
6. Set extended BIOS translation for DOS drivers > 1GB to disabled. (Note that DOS will only see space within the first 1024 cylinders of the hard disk, however Novell will recognize the full volume.)
7. Press Esc twice. Choose Yes to save any changes which are made.
8. Select SCSI Disk Utilities (A SCSI bus scan should occur).
9. For each hard drive that appears in the list perform the following:
a. Highlight the drive.
b. Select Format Disk. (Note: A status bar does not appear. Allow to run until complete.)
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 disks 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 7800 Family Manager disk in the drive. Type the following:
COPY A:\NETWARE\V3_1X\*.* C:\SCSI\*.*
8. If you have a SCSI CD-ROM system, perform step a, otherwise go to step b
a. SCSI CD-ROM:
Enter the date and time. Place the EZ SCSI Diskette in the diskette drive (see section 2.0).
Type the following:
A:\DOSINST <enter>
For the RAID Driver Installation Program, accept defaults for every question it asks (usually by pressing Enter). You are now at the command prompt. Remove the diskette. Go to step 9.
b. IDE CD-ROM:
Enter the diskette IDECDROM.EXE. Type:
A:\UINSTALL.
For the IDE CD-ROM Driver Installation Program, select Install IDE CD-ROM DOS/Windows Software. Accept other defaults. Press F3 at the final screen. You are now at the command prompt. Remove the diskette.
9. After rebooting, type the following at the C prompt:
E CONFIG.SYS
Enter the following lines at the end of the CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=40
BUFFERS=30
STACKS=9,256
LASTDRIVE=Z
Remove the diskette. Press Ctrl Alt Del to reboot.
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. Type
