Loading Compaq Device Drivers
Compaq device drivers are located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD. They are also available for download from the Compaq website
http://www.compaq.com
IMPORTANT:
Always check
README
files on Compaq SmartStart or any Software
Support Diskettes or CDs. If present, these files may contain information about important
software updates.
Novell Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers to operate with the Novell
operating systems. These drivers are located on the Compaq SmartStart and
Support Software CD shipped with the server. If you use Compaq SmartStart
to install the operating system, these drivers will be installed automatically.
Otherwise, you can use Compaq SmartStart to create a Support Software for
Novell Products (NSSD) diskettes to support a manual installation of Novell’s
operating systems.
For more information on these drivers, run the README.COM file in the root
directory on any of the Support Software for Novell Products diskettes.
Compaq SmartStart Installation
If you use SmartStart to install the OS, the drivers are installed automatically.
Manual Installation
If you choose to configure the server without SmartStart, follow this
procedure:
1. Insert the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD into the
CD-ROM drive.
2. Boot your system.
3. Select Manual Installation.
4. Follow the instructions provided by the operating system that you are
installing.
