If you intend to use Adaptec CI/O, it must be installed on the

remote workstation from which you plan to monitor the arrays. See

the Adaptec CI/O documentation to learn the hardware and soft-

ware requirements for the remote workstation.

Using This Document

To use this document, first read Part 1 to learn the basics of arrays

and how they are supported by AHA-398x host adapters and the

supporting software. Part 1 also includes an overview of adapter

features and of the software included with the adapter. Pay particu-

lar attention to

System Requirements

on page 1-2.

Next, follow the instructions in Part 2 to physically install the

AHA-398x in your computer, attach the SCSI devices, prepare a boot

array or boot drive, and copy DOS and NetWare drivers to the

server.

Read Chapter 7 in Part 3 to learn the basics of the Administrator

Utility, which runs under NetWare. Then follow the instructions in

the rest of Part 3, as needed, to learn how to use this utility to moni-

tor array performance, manage your arrays, change array configura-

tions, add new arrays, and format arrays. Chapter 12 explains how

to use Adaptec CI/O to monitor your arrays from a remote

workstation.

Read Part 4 as needed to learn how to use the SCSI

Select

utility to

change AHA-398x configuration parameters and how to set up a

CD-ROM drive to install NetWare and other software.
