Click, Diskette Libraries 5. Select "NOS Drivers - OS/2 Warp Family" and then click execute (see the following note). NOTE: Only "OS/2 Warp Family" is supported on the E40. There is no OS/2 2.11 support for the E40. 6. Select "COPY ALL" to create the two driver diskettes. If you wish to make only one diskette just select the one you need from the list provided on the screen. You can create the video driver by selecting video from the list provided on the screen. 7.

Continue to Task 5. Task 5) Copy the required drivers (which are identified in Task3) from "HP Diskette #1: SCSI DAC drivers and utility" to the "Work Diskette 1". Task 6) Edit Config.sys file in "Work Diskette 1" to include the drivers entry which are added in Task 5 and delete drivers entry which are removed in Task 2. Task 7) Include "set copyfromfloppy=1" as the first line in config.sys in "Work Diskette 1" to allow the installation process to copy drivers from floppy than from OS/2 Installation CDROM. Section 3. OS/2 CD-ROM Installation Procedures Be sure to check the considerations and tips listed above before starting the installation process. Also, complete the planning table listed in "Consideration 1". Note that this document was written using the Adaptec driver AIC7870.ADD. However if your system uses a different SCSI driver, just use your driver name in place of the one listed in this document. For example, since the HP NetServer LC uses the AIC7770.ADD driver, you must replace the AIC7870.ADD driver entry with AIC7770.ADD everywhere in this document.
