Section One Introduction This document provides installation information if you are installing Adaptec's AHA 1540A, AHA-1542A, AHA-1540B, AHA-1542B, AHA-1640, AHA-1740, or AHA-1744 SCSI host adapters into a Novell NetWare file server. The versions of NetWare supported are NetWare 286 2.15 (SF[ or Advanced), NetWare 386 v3.0, and NetWare 386 v3.1.
Section One Introduction Files ih: \NET286.215\VER3_2 File Purpose README.TXT This is an ASCII text file describing the NetWare drivers for NetWare 286 v2.1S. ASWNOVL.OBJ ASWNOVL.DSK These are v3.2 of Adaprec's NetWare 286 v2.1S driver for the AHA-1S40/1S42, AHA-1640, and the standard mode of the AHA-1740/1744. These drivers allow the AHA-1640 to be configured to Arbitration Level 4. One of the configuration options has changed as well. Files in: \NET286.30 File Purpose README.
Section One 1.1 Introduction WHAT IS ASPI? ASPI stands for Advanced SCSI Programming Interface. It is a programming interface which allows for multiple drivers to share the same SCSI host adapter. This allows for mUltiple types of SCSI devices (Le., tape, disk, CD-ROM, etc.) to be placed on one SCSI host adapter. This keeps cost down while freeing up your internal slots. An ASPI manager is included in both the NetWare 386 v3.0 and NetWare 386 v3.1 drivers.
Section One 1.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation We recommend that you make backup copies of all Novell and Adaptec supplied diskettes using "DISKCOPY" and use those backup copies as your working diskettes. Use the NetWare 386 v3.1 file SERVER.EXE to start the installation process. You will be prompted for a file server name and an IPX internal network number. Consult the NetWare 386 user's manual for this information. Installing a disk driver into NetWare 386 requires use of the LOAD console command.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Note: If installing more than one host adapter. each host adapter should have its own SCSI bus. For example. no two AHA-1540s should be connected to the same SCSI cable. The NetWare 386 prompt (":") will now be displayed. Use the LOAD command to install the driver. The correct syntax to load the AHA-I 540/1542 driver is: I :load [path] aha1540 [options] Note that this driver is used for the AHA-1740/1744 running in standard mode.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation For an AHA-I640, the screen will look similar to: :load a:\net386.31\aha1640 Auto-loading Module ASPITRAN.DSK AHA-154x/1640 ASPI Manager & SCSI Disk Module For NetWare 386 v3.1 Version 2.0 Copyright 1990 Adaptec, Inc. Supported Slot values are 1, 2 Slot: 1 To automate this procedure, the user can type: "load a:\net386.31'ahaI540 slot=x" where 'x' is the host adapter's slot location.
Section Two 2.1 NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation COMMAND LINE OPTIONS There are several command line options that can be specified when the driver is loaded. These are described below. Option port= speed= Possible Values Host Adapter 330 334 234 230 134 130 AHA 1540/1542 This option selects the host adapter's port address. This should correspond to the jumpered port address of the AHA 1540/1542. If none is given, the user will be prompted for one. Port 330H is the default value.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Possible Values Host Adapter 1-8 AHA-I640 This option selects the host adapter's slot location. If none is given, the user will be prompted for one. verbose:::: y AHA 1540/1542 AHA-I640 AHA 1740/1744 With this option, the driver will display host adapter configuration information during load time. removable:: off AHA 1540/1542 AHA-I640 AHA 1740/1744 This option disables support for removable media. By default, removable media is supported.

Section Two 2.2 NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation MULTIPLE DISK DRIVES WITH NETWARE 386 V3.1 The NetWare 386 v3.1 drivers support the installation of multiple SCSI hard disk drives in the file server. This might be desired for several reasons: - to support disk mirroring (fault tolerance) to support disk duplexing (fault tolerance) to increase total storage capacity of the system to install multiple drives per NetWare volume. Disk mirroring and disk duple xing are described below. 2.2.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation - The SCSI devices on the ends of the SCSI cable must have the terminators installed. All other SCSI devices on that SCSI cable should have the terminators removed. The AHA-1540/1542/1640/1740/l744 is considered a SCSI device and has on-board terminators that should be removed only if both the internal and external SCSI connectors are used at the same time. The NetWare procedure for installing a mirrored pair of disk drives is similar to the standard installation.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Select "Disk Options". The screen should look similar to: Select "Partition Tables".
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation The screen should display the installed disk drives. Consult the NetWare 386 Installation manual on how to create partitions on each drive. After each drive has a NetWare partition on it, return to the "Available Disk Options" menu and select "Mirroring". The screen should look similar to: Select "Not Mirrored: Logical Partition #1", which is in this case the Quantum Pro lOSS.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Press , and the screen will look similar to: Press , then . The screen will look similar to: The drives are now mirrored. Press several times to exit the INSTALL program.
Section Two 2.2.2 NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Duplexing Disk duplexing is when two host adapters are installed in a single file server, each with its own disk mirrored together. These disk drives contain the same data. This ensures that if either one disk or one host adapter fails, the server will continue to operate.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation - If both of the host adapters are AHA-l542s (e.g., both have floppy controllers), one of the floppy controllers should be disabled by removing the floppy enable jumper. - The Interrupt Channels (referred to as Interrupt Level with the AHA-I640) must be different on the two host adapters. The Interrupt channel can be changed by changing jumpers on the AHA-l 540/1542.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation The procedure for duplexing requires that the NetWare 386 driver be loaded twice. The screen will look similar to: :load AHAl540 port=330 Loading module AHA1540.DSK Auto-loading Module ASPITRAN.DSK AHA-154x/1640 ASPI Manager & SCSI Disk Driver For NetWare 386 v3.1 Version 2.0 Copyright 1990 Adaptec, Inc. :load AHA1540 port=334 Loading module AHA1540.DSK AHA-154x/1640 ASPI Manager & .sCSI Disk Driver For NetWare 386 v3.1 Version 2.
Section Two 2.3.1 NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation Booting From SCSI If you have an AHA-1540/1542 and you wish to boot from SCSI, you should have your BIOS enabled on the host adapter at port 330h: If you have an AHA-I640, you should have your BIOS enabled on a single host adapter at port 330h, 230h, or 130h. If you have other host adapters installed, you should disable their BIOS. If you have an AHA 1740/1744 in enhanced mode, use the configuration diskette to configure the boards.
Section Two NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation The STARTUP.NCF should look similar to: iload aspitran load ahal540 port~330 IMPORT ANT: In order for STARTUP.NCF to properly execute, the module ASPITRAN.DSK must be loaded before AHA1540.DSK, AHAl640.DSK, or AHA1740.DSK. 2.3.3 Formatting Media NetWare 386's "INSTALL.NLM" program lets you optionally format a disk drive. When using SCSI, it allows you to low-level format several SCSI drives simultaneously.
Section Two 2.3.4 NetWare 386 v3.1· Installation Removable Media AHAI540.DSK v2.0, AHAl640.DSK v2.0, and AHA1740.DSK v1.0, have full support for removable media disk drives including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is treated as a standard SCSI hard disk, with some exceptions. The driver will only recognize and register media with 512 bytes/sector. NetWare 386 v3.1 allows you to mount/dismount the media, and to lock/unlock the media These options are supported in the NetWare MONITOR.NLM program.
Section Two 2.3.5 NetWare 386 v3.1 Installation 16-Megabyte Limitation Due to a hardware limitation of the AT bus, the AHA-1540/1542/1640 can only access up to 16 MBytes of memory in your server. If you have more than 16 MBytes, you should set this flag at the NetWare console in your STARTUP.NCF: :set Auto Register Memory Above 16 Megabytes = OFF If you have an EISA machine with more than 16 MBytes, you should use the Adaptec AHA-1740/1744, running in enhanced mode, to access up to 4 GigaBytes.

Section Four 4.2.2 NetWare 286 v2.15 Installation Duplexing Disk duplexing is when two host adapters are installed in a single file server, each with its own disk. These disk drives contain the same data. This ensures that if either one disk or one host adapt~r fails, the system will continue. 386/.:186 • Disks contain same data • Host adapters at different port address/IRQ/DMA • Driver must be loaded twice Mirroring and duplexing are both referred to as "mirroring" in the NetWare operating system.
Section Four NetWare 286 v2.1S Installation - If both of the host adapters are AHA-1542s (e.g., both have floppy controllers), one of the floppy controllers should be disabled by removing the floppy enable jumper. - The Interrupt Channels (referred to as Interrupt Level with the AHA-I640) must be different on the two host adapters. The Interrupt channel can be changed by changing jumpers on the AHA-1540/1542.
Section Four NetWare 286 v2.1S Installation The SCSI devices on the ends of the SCSI cable must have the terminators installed. All other SCSI devices on that SCSI cable should have the terminators removed. The AHA-1540/1542/1640/1740/1744 is considered a SCSI device and has on-board terminators that can be removed if both the internal and external SCSI connectors are used at the same time. The procedure for duplexing requires that the NetWare 286 driver be loaded twice.

In this case, option 19, "For SCSI disk(s) attached to CH 0 AHA-1540/1542/1640/1740/1744 Only" would be chosen, since channel 0 was used to configure the DMA channel and Interrupt channel for the AHA 1540/1542/1640/1740/1744.
Section Four NetWare 286 v2.15 Installation 4.3 COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON NETWARE 286 Q. Do I need ASW-I440 v2.0 if I'm using my AHA-1540/1542/1640 in a Novell NetWare workstation? A. No, the driver is only required if the AHA-l 540/1542/1640 is to used in afile server. It is not required when using the AHA-l 540/1 542/1640 in a workstation. Q. Does ASW-1440 also work with Adaptec's single user AHA-I 520/1522 host adapter? A. No.
Section Four NetWare 286 v2.1S Installation Q. What is the "Write Verify" configuration option? A. Each configuration option 0./0 base address /REQ / DMA) can be configured to "Write" or "Write Verify".
