Booting the Computer
The AHA-1510A does not provide booting capabil-
ity. If you want to boot from a SCSI drive installed
on the host adapter, you can install an AHA-1520A
or AHA-1522A. Both of these host adapter models
provide booting capability.
Software Installation
DOS/Windows Platforms
If you have purchased Adaptec EZ-SCSI, insert the
EZ-SCSI diskette in a floppy diskette drive, change
to the drive letter of that drive (either A or B) and
enter the command
install.
If you do not have
EZ-SCSI, follow the instructions below for DOS
installation.
Use the DOS copy command to copy the files from
the ASW-1210 diskette to the root directory of
drive C. Using any text editor, add these two lines
to your
config.sys
file:
device = aspi2dos.sys /z /y- /u- /d
device = aspidisk.sys /d
Enter the lines in this order, or else the programs
will not be installed when you boot your computer.
You may also need to add the following command
line options to the device driver lines in the
config.sys
file. (See the ASW-1210 Installation
Guide for more information about these options.)
device = aspi2dos.sys [/p<port address>] [/L]
[/c or /c-] [/y or /y-] [/u or /u-]
[/h<HA SCS/ ID>] [/q<interrupt channels]
If you change the port address or the interrupt
channel, you must also change the corresponding
jumper block settings.
If a hard disk drive is attached to the AHA-1510A,
you must use the
aspidisk
driver to access the disk.
You must use the
afdisk
utility to format and parti-
tion SCSI disk devices.
To start
afdisk,
change to the directory where it is
installed and enter
afdisk
at the DOS prompt.
Follow the directions on the screen to partition and
format the selected SCSI devices, including remov-
able media. Press F1 while
afdisk
is running to
access on-line help. You can exit
afdisk
at any time
without partitioning or formatting by pressing Esc.
When the SCSI device(s) are successfully parti-
tioned and formatted, reboot the system. This saves
any changes made and gives you access to the newly
installed disk(s) or partitions(s). The new partitions
will be installed with the
aspidisk
driver.
Other Operating Systems
Adaptec also provides software support for
NetWare®, Unix® and OS/2®. For installation
instructions, refer to the documentation provided
with the specific software.
