Chapter 7
Installing the Operating System Drivers
This chapter outlines the driver installation steps to set up the Smart Array 431
Controller in an existing server with the following operating systems:
■ Novell NetWare 3.20, 4.2, 5.0
■ Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
■ SCO OpenServer 5
■ UnixWare 2.X, 7.X
■ IBM OS/2 Warp Server Family
If you are setting up a new system, use the SmartStart and Support Software
CD supplied with the server to install both the operating system and the
drivers necessary to support the Smart Array 431 Controller.
If you install the operating system software from the SmartStart and Support
Software CD, all of the software, including device drivers, are automatically
installed and configured for the Smart Array 431 Controller. The Smart Array
431 Controller is supported by SmartStart 4.50 or later. See the documentation
that came with SmartStart for installation instructions.
Before installing the drivers, you should have:
■ updated your system firmware by running System ROMPaq;
■ installed the Smart Array 431 Controller option board;
■ configured the hardware by running the System Configuration Utility;
■ used the Drive Array Configuration Utility to configure your drive
array(s) .
