Chapter 7 Installing Netware NCR S16 Minitower Server Installing Network Operating System 7-1
Overview Overview After you have setup the system and configured it, you are ready to install the operating system. This chapter discusses installing NetWare on your server.
Installation Overview Installation Overview To install NetWare on your server, follow these steps: • Confirm CMOS configuration - See Chapter 2 • Configure adapter settings using the Adaptec BIOS SCSISelect Utility See Chapter 3 • Reboot the system and create a primary DOS partition • Load the controller’s drivers • Install the NetWare software NCR S16 Minitower Server Installing Network Operating System 7-3
Rebooting the Server and Creating a Primary DOS Partition Rebooting the Server and Creating a Primary DOS Partition To reboot the server, and create a primary DOS partition, follow these steps: 1. Insert the DOS boot disk into Drive A. 2. Reboot the server. 3. To create a primary DOS partition, do the following: • Using the FDISK program from the DOS disk, install a 15 MB PRIMARY DOS partition on the existing hard drive and make it “active.” Your machine will then reboot.
Rebooting the Server and Creating a Primary DOS Partition Editing this file later requires some type of utility program, such as the DOS EDIT program. Note: If duplexing, repeat the boot steps 3-7 for the second hard disk.
Loading the Controller’s Drivers Loading the Controller’s Drivers In NetWare, you must install from CD-ROM. Load your controller’s CDROM drivers into a CONFIG.SYS file according to the controller’s instructions. You must also copy your DOS version’s MSCDEX.EXE into a C:\DOS (for example) subdirectory. Using an Adaptec Controller If using an ADAPTEC controller, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Adaptec EZ-SCSI for DOS/Windows disk into Drive A and follow the instructions on the label for syntax.
Loading the Controller’s Drivers Note: You may also install NetWare from CD-ROM by using the .DSK drivers and mounting the CD as a NetWare volume. If using the CD-ROM drive only to install NetWare, we recommend using the DOS-level drivers. If you plan to use the CD-ROM as a volume later in your network, you may load those different NetWare drivers at that time. Loading the CD-ROM as a NetWare Volume To load the CD-ROM as a NetWare Volume, follow these steps: 1. If loading multiple AIC-7870.
Installing NetWare Installing NetWare During the installation processes, you are asked many hardware-specific questions. Most of these can be answered by choosing the default (highlighted) option, but in some cases specific information is required. Note: Know your hardware before attempting this installation. You should install all drivers for your network interface boards on the hard drive where they can be accessed easily.
Installing NetWare Choosing Drivers This process looks for SCSI controller drivers to enable use of the hard disk(s) and other storage devices attached to that SCSI channel. 1. When prompted to “Choose the Server Drivers - Disk Driver,” select AIC7870.DSK and press Enter. The listings are always in alphabetical order so you may have to scroll up or down using the arrow keys. 2. When prompted, “Do you want to select an additional Disk driver?” select No and press Enter. The “Scanning for available drivers..
Installing NetWare 3. When prompted to “Insert disk MAIN SERVER LICENSE,” insert your red-labeled user authorization disk into Drive A, and press Enter. 4. NetWare attempts to mount the CD-ROM as a volume. This process may take longer than the allotted 20 seconds and fail. Follow the on-screen procedures and go to the system console screen (or press Alt + Esc). Within several seconds, the CD-ROM mounts correctly and file copying begins.
Installing NetWare 4. If your topology requires a different type or additional type support (such as Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP, etc.), change the line which loads your SMCPWR .LAN driver to read: LOAD SMCPWR SLOT=? FRAME=???? NAME=SMCPWR_1_E83 Or, add additional LOAD statements to load more frame types. If attaching this server to existing wiring, you must also edit the NET= entry on the BIND statement to mirror the existing network segment number. Sample AUTOEXEC.
Installing NetWare default installation, the SERVER.EXE file is found in the C:\NWSERVER subdirectory. The installtion of NetWare is now complete.
