AAA-UDMA Installation and Hardware Guide Note: To load the driver automatically at server bootup, make sure the startup.ncf file includes the load command line for the cdaudmah.ham driver. (If you also have an Adaptec host adapter that uses the Adaptec aic78xx.dsk driver, make sure the driver loads after the cdaudmah.ham driver.) Note: Older versions of the aic78xx.dsk driver (before v1.30) are compatible with cdaudmah.ham as long as the AAA-UDMA PCI slot is not specified on the command line (e.g., load aic7870.dsk slot=z). If there is an AIC-78xx based card (e.g., AHA™-2940) in the system, z must point to that card's slot number and not to the AAA-UDMA slot number. If loaded without command line parameters, NetWare lists valid slot numbers. The AAA-UDMA will be listed in the parameter list; however, do not select it. NetWare 4.2 and 5.0 Follow these instructions only if you are installing NetWare 4.2 and 5.0 for the first time: 1 Create a DOS partition and install DOS on your hard disk drive. 2 Edit the autoexec.bat file to include a command line for mscdex.exe (the mscdex.exe file is included with MS-DOS 6.x and above). The following sample command lines for the autoexec.bat file are appropriate for most systems: c:\dos\mscdex.exe /M:12 (This assigns the CD-ROM the next available drive letter, typically D if there is only one DOS drive.) 3 Reboot the system to the DOS partition. 4 Insert the NetWare 5.0 CD in your CD-ROM drive. 5 Go to the CD-ROM drive. 6 Type Install and press Enter. 6-4

AAA-UDMA Installation and Hardware Guide
Note:
To load the driver automatically at server bootup,
make sure the
startup.ncf
file includes the
load
command
line for the
cdaudmah.ham
driver. (If you also have an
Adaptec host adapter that uses the Adaptec
aic78xx.dsk
driver, make sure the driver loads after the
cdaudmah.ham
driver.)
Note:
Older versions of the
aic78xx.dsk
driver (before v1.30)
are compatible with
cdaudmah.ham
as long as the
AAA-UDMA PCI slot is not specified on the command line
(e.g.,
load aic7870.dsk slot=z
). If there is an AIC-78xx based
card (e.g., AHA
™
-2940) in the system,
z
must point to that
card’s slot number and not to the AAA-UDMA slot number.
If loaded without command line parameters, NetWare lists
valid slot numbers. The AAA-UDMA will be listed in the
parameter list; however,
do not
select it.
NetWare 4.2 and 5.0
Follow these instructions only if you are installing NetWare 4.2 and
5.0 for the first time:
1
Create a DOS partition and install DOS on your hard disk
drive.
2
Edit the
autoexec.bat
file to include a command line for
mscdex.exe
(the
mscdex
.
exe
file is included with MS-DOS 6.x
and above)
.
The following sample command lines for the
autoexec.bat
file are appropriate for most systems:
c:\dos\mscdex.exe /M:12
(This assigns the CD-ROM the next available drive letter, typi-
cally
D
if there is only one DOS drive.)
3
Reboot the system to the DOS partition.
4
Insert the NetWare 5.0 CD in your CD-ROM drive.
5
Go to the CD-ROM drive.
6
Type
Install
and press
Enter
.
