- SUBJECT: 0S/2 v 1.3 Installation Notes
-
- Procedure for adding a AHA-1540/1542 to a pre-existing installation of 0S/2
- version 1.3.
-
- This installation procedure assumes the following:
-
- -- The user has previously correctly installed 0S/2 v 1.3 on a system
- Original installation did not include any Adaptec Host Adapter
- (e.g. installed on an IDE disk)
- The system currently boots and runs properly
- The user now wishes to add an Adaptee AHA-1540/1542 and SCSI disk drive(s)
- to the system
-
- -- The user does not wish to re-install OS/2 v 1.3 from scratch
- (i.e. does not want to start over)
- The user has the original OS/2 v 1.3 boot diskette
-
- -- The user has the Adaptee ASW-1220/1420 v 1.3 diskette
-
- If the above statements are all true, then please proceed as follows:
-
- Boot the system and get to an OS/2 prompt.
- Boot the system to the 0S/2 v 1.3 install diskette
- - then hit <Esc> to get an OS/2 prompt
-
- Save a complete copy of all the files in the root directory of disk drive C:
- into a temporary subdirectory. This is so that you can get back to where
- you started should you choose to do so.
- - From the root directory type MD SAVE
- - then type COPY C:\*.* C:\SAVE
-
- Insert the ASW-1220/1420 v 1.3 diskette into the A: (or B:) floppy drive.
-
- -- Copy all the files from A:\DISK0, A:\DISK0\1540, and A:\DISK0\SHARE to
- the root directory of C:
- - Type COPY A:\DISKO\*.* C:\
- - then type COPY A:\DISK0\1540\*.* C:\
- - then type COPY A:\DISKO\SHARE\*.* C:\
- This step will overwrite some of the system files. The original files are
- in C:\SAVE
-
- "Down" the system, turn off the power, and install the AHA-1540/1542 board
- into your system. Although the default jumper setting on the board is
- correct for most systems, please adjust the jumpers as required to avoid
- any possible Interrupt, DMA or Port Address conflicts. Refer to the
- Installation Guide.
-
- -- Reboot the system. The system should boot and automatically load
- the necessary LADDR drivers to support the AHA-1540/1542 board.
- No changes to the CONFIG.SYS file are necessary for disk.
-
- Notes:
-
- -- This same procedure can also be used to install the AHA-1740, AHA-1640
- or AHA-1520/1522 boards.
- In the fourth step, be sure to copy the files for your board type
- to the root director)' on C:
- For example: For the AHA-1520\1522, type COPY A:\DISK0\1520\*.* C:\
-
- For the addition of peripherals other than disk (e.g. CD-ROM), changes
- to the CONFIG.SYS file may also be required. Please refer to the
- ASW-1220/1420 v 1.3 Installation Guide for more information.
