one of a mirrored or duplexed pair of drives. The UNMIRROR command has no effect on the disk driver that is in use. NetWare must be reinstalled to change from one driver to another. While the disks are UNMIRRORED, only the primary fixed disk drive of the mirrored pair will be read from and written to. The REMIRROR command reenables fixed disk drive mirroring and copies all changed data on the primary fixed disk drive of the mirrored pair to the secondary fixed disk drive. Refer to your NetWare reference manual for more information. To prepare the 1:1 Interleave Buffered ESDI External Fixed Disk Drive Controller Board, complete the following steps: 1. Select the primary or alternate disk controller address and the IRQ level using the appropriate switches. Select IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for the external fixed disk drive controller board operating as a secondary channel. If you are using the external fixed disk drive controller board and have the internal fixed disk drive controller disabled, select IRQ14. If you are using two external fixed disk drive controller boards, one must be defined as IRQ14 and the other can be IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15. (Most other COMPAQ fixed disk drive controllers use the primary address and IRQ14.) Verify that the interrupt level chosen does not conflict with interrupts for other installed devices. 2. Install the external fixed disk drive controller board. 3. Run the SETUP program to initialize the CMOS memory to reflect the number and type of fixed disk drives currently installed. 4. Insert the EXTDISK diskette into drive A and restart the computer. 5. Copy the files with .DSK extensions from the root directory of the EXTDISK diskette to your working copy of the NetWare AUXGEN diskette. 6. If you are running the Novell NETGEN program from a fixed disk drive or network drive, you may want to create a subdirectory for the files with .OBJ extensions found in the root directory of the EXTDISK diskette. If so, create a directory named "DSK_DRV_.203" and copy the files with .OBJ extensions into this directory. If you are running the Novell NETGEN program from diskettes, the program prompts you to "Insert the disk DSK_DRV_203 in any drive." At this point, insert the EXTDISK diskette into your diskette drive. 7. If you are installing NetWare V2.1, you must apply the COMP21 patch to several files. Copy the following files to a separate workspace: COMPSURF.OBJ DISKED.OBJ INSTOVL.OBJ VREPAIR.OBJ (From the UTILOBJ-1 diskette) (From the UTILOBJ-1 diskette) (From the UTILOBJ-2 diskette) (From the UTILOBJ-2 diskette) The following files should appear in the root directory of the EXTDISK diskette:

To prepare the 1:1 Interleave Buffered ESDI External Fixed Disk Drive
Controller Board, complete the following steps:
1. Select the primary or alternate disk controller address and the IRQ level
using the appropriate switches.
Select IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for the external fixed disk drive controller
board operating as a secondary channel. If you are using the external
fixed disk drive controller board and have the internal fixed disk drive
controller disabled, select IRQ14. If you are using two external fixed

can be IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15.
(Most other COMPAQ fixed disk drive controllers use the primary address
and IRQ14.) Verify that the interrupt level chosen does not conflict
with interrupts for other installed devices.
2. Install the external fixed disk drive controller board.
3. Run the SETUP program to initialize the CMOS memory to reflect the number
and type of fixed disk drives currently installed.
4. Insert the EXTDISK diskette into drive A and restart the computer.
5. Copy the files with .DSK extensions from the root directory of the EXTDISK
diskette to your working copy of the NetWare AUXGEN diskette.
6. If you are running the Novell NETGEN program from a fixed disk drive or
network drive, you may want to create a subdirectory for the files with
.OBJ extensions found in the root directory of the EXTDISK diskette. If
so, create a directory named "DSK_DRV_.203" and copy the files with .OBJ
extensions into this directory.
If you are running the Novell NETGEN program from diskettes, the program
prompts you to "Insert the disk DSK_DRV_203 in any drive." At this point,
insert the EXTDISK diskette into your diskette drive.
7. If you are installing NetWare V2.1, you must apply the COMP21 patch to
several files. Copy the following files to a separate workspace:
COMPSURF.OBJ
(From the UTILOBJ-1 diskette)
DISKED.OBJ
(From the UTILOBJ-1 diskette)
INSTOVL.OBJ
(From the UTILOBJ-2 diskette)
VREPAIR.OBJ
(From the UTILOBJ-2 diskette)
The following files should appear in the root directory of the EXTDISK
diskette:
