2. 3. NT4 W2K WXP NNW SCO UNX LNX The dd image is located in the zipped file you downloaded from the LSI Logic web site. RAWRITE3.COM is included within the zipped file you downloaded from the LSI Logic web site. After the image has been copied to a 3.5 diskette, use this HBA diskette for UnixWare installations as instructed. B. New System Installation 1. 2. 3. Boot the computer using the installation diskettes or the installation CDROMs delivered in the UnixWare Operating System media kit.

The system will again prompt you to load a driver even if loading was successful. 6. 7. Type q (quit) and press Enter. Verify that the driver is now loaded successfully by typing: pkginfo mpt 8. The package information should read: system mpt LSI Logic IHV HBA After the mpt package is loaded, a message may appear that indicates a system reboot is necessary. 9.

Make sure no other users are logged on and all user applications are closed. 2. Start the Network Configuration Manager: netcfg 3. Remove any adapters that are configured with the old drivers by selecting the Hardware menu -> Remove Network Device. Exit the Network Configuration Manager. 4.
NT4 W2K WXP NNW SCO UNX LNX 6. If you are downloading the latest driver from the Intel website,save the package to a directory on your system; for example, the /tmp directory. You can install the driver from this directory or spool the driver from the directory so the driver resides on the system. Example of installing the driver from the directory: pkgadd –d //e1008g.pkg Example of spooling the driver from the directory to the system: pkgadd -s spool –d //e1008g.
5.8 Linux RedHat 7.3/8.0 NT4 W2K WXP NNW SCO UNX LNX 5.8.1 LSI® SCSI Driver Installation The The Fusion-MPT driver is a bundled boot controller for RedHat 7.3/ 8.0. You may install to a disk attached to the controller with no additional media. For more information on the LSI 53C1030 SCSI controller, refer to the following path in the support CD: \Drivers\SCSI\FUSION-MPT\Linux\2.03.00\mptlinux.
NT4 W2K WXP NNW SCO UNX LNX 5.8.2 Broadcom Gigabit LAN Driver Installation Packaging The Linux driver is released in two packaging formats: source RPM and compressed tar formats. The file names for the two packages are bcm5700-.src.rpm and bcm5700-.tar.gz, respectively. Identical source files to build the driver are included in both packages. The tar file contains additional utilities such as patches and driver diskette images for network installation.
NT4 W2K WXP NNW SCO UNX LNX The driver will be installed in the following paths: 2.2.x kernels: /lib/modules//net/bcm5700.o 2.4.x kernels: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o 2.4.x kernels with bcm5700 driver patched in (e.g. Red Hat 7.1, 7.2): /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/bcm/bcm5700.o or /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700/ bcm5700.o 4. Load the driver: insmod bcm5700 5.
