Materials Needed
You need these materials only if you did not use SmartStart to install your
operating system:
■ Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD (supplied in the Smart
Array 431 Controller Option Kit)
■ Seven blank diskettes
■ Any server or workstation with a bootable CD-ROM drive
Novell NetWare
Use the instructions in this section to install the driver for the new Smart Array
431 Controller or to upgrade the driver in an existing NetWare server, Smart
Array 431 Controller system. If you used SmartStart to install NetWare and
drivers, you can skip this section and you do not need to create the Novell SSD
diskettes.
Creating Novell SSD Diskettes
The NetWare driver for the Smart Array 431 Controller, CPQARRAY.HAM
v2.05 or later, is located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD
that was supplied in the Smart Array 431 Controller Option Kit. To gain
access to the driver you first need to create the Novell SSD diskettes. These
diskettes contain the latest drivers and documentation for Compaq options in a
NetWare environment. To create these diskettes from a workstation:
1. Insert the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD on a
workstation running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. If Auto Run is
enabled, the CDs will automatically start. If Auto Run is not enabled,
run D:\NWPA\DSKBLDR.EXE where D indicates the drive letter of
your CD-ROM.
2. Select Create Software Diskettes from CD only. Click Next.
3. Click the + sign next to the selection titled Compaq.
4. Place an X in the box titled Compaq Support Software for Novell
Products. Click Next.
5. Follow the instructions for creating and labeling the diskettes.
6. Click Finish.
