17. This step is not required if you are using Warp 4.0 (Merlin) or Warp Server SMP 4.0. The IBM bundled driver passed all Hewlett Packard tests. You can use the HP SCSI driver aic7870.add if you suspect any issues with the IBM driver. Next, apply the HP version of the AIC7870.ADD driver. Insert the Drivers/Utility diskette in drive A. Enter the following commands: C: Where C: is your boot driver. CD \OS2\BOOT COPY AIC7870.ADD AIC7870.IBM COPY A:\7800\AIC7800.ADD C: 18. Shutdown and reboot the system to activate the new drivers. Procedure #2: Apply Hewlett-Packard specific drivers to IBM "Diskette 1" and then Install IBM OS/2 product using standard IBM installation process. Please read the information provided in Section 1 of this document before starting the installation. The fundamental difference between Procedure #1 and #2 is at what point the Hewlett-Packard drivers are applied. Procedure #1 adds those drivers after the installation is completed. Procedure #2 adds the Hewlett-Packard disk array driver to the copy of IBM "Diskette 1" called "Work Diskette 1" before the installation starts. Please note that this procedure is still using the IBM version of AIC7870.ADD driver to complete the installation. You can replace the AIC7870.ADD to the one that applies to your system. Phase 1: Create copy of IBM "Diskette 1" label it "Work Diskette 1" 1. Create the Drivers/Utilities diskette using the HP Navigator CD-ROM (see "Section 2" of this document). 2. Create a copy of IBM "Diskette 1" and label it "Work Diskette 1". Use a spare PC running DOS, OS/2 or NT to make a copy of the original IBM Diskette 1. It is recommended that you label this copy "Work Diskette 1". Insert IBM "Diskette 1" in drive A and enter the following command: DISKCOPY A: A: Phase 2: On "Work Diskette 1" update CONFIG.SYS and copy new drivers 3. Edit CONFIG.SYS on "Work Diskette 1" to add the HP SCSI and driver for disk array adapter if one is present. 29

The IBM bundled driver passed all Hewlett Packard tests. You can use the HP SCSI driver
aic7870.add if you suspect any issues with the IBM driver. Next, apply the HP version of the
AIC7870.ADD driver. Insert the Drivers/Utility diskette in drive A. Enter the following
commands:
C:
Where C: is your boot driver.
CD \OS2\BOOT
COPY AIC7870.ADD AIC7870.IBM
COPY A:\7800\AIC7800.ADD C:
18.
Shutdown and reboot the system to activate the new drivers.
Procedure #2: Apply Hewlett-Packard specific drivers to IBM "Diskette 1" and then
Install IBM OS/2 product using standard IBM installation process.
Please read the information provided in Section 1 of this document before starting the
installation.
The fundamental difference between Procedure #1 and #2 is at what point the Hewlett-Packard
drivers are applied. Procedure #1 adds those drivers after the installation is completed. Procedure
#2 adds the Hewlett-Packard disk array driver to the copy of IBM "Diskette 1" called "Work
Diskette 1" before the installation starts. Please note that this procedure is still using the IBM
version of AIC7870.ADD driver to complete the installation. You can replace the
AIC7870.ADD to the one that applies to your system.
Phase 1: Create copy of IBM "Diskette 1" label it "Work Diskette 1"
1.
Create the Drivers/Utilities diskette using the HP Navigator CD-ROM (see "Section 2" of
this document).
2.
Create a copy of IBM "Diskette 1" and label it "Work Diskette 1".
Use a spare PC running DOS, OS/2 or NT to make a copy of the original IBM Diskette 1. It
is recommended that you label this copy "Work Diskette 1".
Insert IBM "Diskette 1" in drive A and enter the following command:
DISKCOPY A: A:
Phase 2: On "Work Diskette 1" update CONFIG.SYS and copy new drivers
3.
Edit CONFIG.SYS on "Work Diskette 1" to add the HP SCSI and driver for disk array
adapter if one is present.
