Refer to the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User's Guide for instructions on installing and using the software. Note: To load the driver automatically at server bootup, make sure the startup.ncf file includes the load command line for the cda1000h.ham driver. (If you also have an Adaptec host adapter that uses the Adaptec aic78xx.dsk driver, make sure the driver loads after the cda1000h.ham driver.) 5-4
