Installing the OS/2 Driver
Perform the following steps to add the OS/2 driver to a previously installed OS/2
Warp version 4 system:
1. Boot OS/2 Warp.
2. Insert the diskette that contains the QLogic driver into an appropriate drive.
3. Select the System Setup icon from the OS/2 System program group.
4. Select the Device Driver Install icon from the OS/2 System Setup program
group.
5. Click the Change... box under the source directory path. If necessary,
change the source directory on the diskette that contains the QLogic driver
to OS2. For example:
A:\OS2
6. Select Install.

Troubleshooting
When first installing OS/2 Warp version 4 with the QLA2xxx, OS/2 mistakenly
places the command for loading the QLogic OS/2 ADD at the beginning of the
CONFIG.SYS file. Misplacing the load command creates a problem if your system
configuration includes both an integrated drive electronics (IDE) disk (boot device)
and a fixed disk device. When booting on the IDE disk, the ADD for the IDE disk
(IBM1S506.ADD) must be loaded before the QLogic OS/2 ADD. To avoid this
problem, remove the fixed disk from the system while completing the OS/2 Warp
installation onto the IDE disk. Then edit the CONFIG.SYS file and move the
command for loading the QLogic OS/2 ADD from the beginning of the file to the
end of the file. Lastly, re-install the fixed disk.
