                        Loading the Driver Package

This file contains instructions for loading a third-party driver package
on your VINES 7.0 server.  See also your Server Installation Guide.

Instructions for Loading the Driver Package

1.  Place a DOS-formatted, 1.44 MB diskette in the diskette drive of a
    client workstation where you downloaded and decompressed the zip file
    that contained this instruction file, the Readme file, the driver
    package, and DSKIMAGE.EXE.

2.  Use DSKIMAGE.EXE to make a diskette image of the driver package as
    follows:

    DSKIMAGE  driver_file  A:

    driver_file is the driver package. The diskette is in drive A of the
    workstation.

3.  Take the diskette with the driver image to the server.

     Note
     If this is an initial installation of or update to VINES 7.0, go to
     step 5 when the system asks if you want to build the default kernel. 

4.  From the server Operator Menu, select 10. System Maintenance, select
    6. Configure/Diagnose  server, and then select 5. Configure Kernel.

5.  Specify C for a custom configuration. This brings you to the Kernel
    Configuration menu.

6.  Insert the diskette into the server diskette drive.

7.  Select 5. Load driver package to load your driver, and press Enter.

8.  Remove the diskette after the driver package is loaded.

9.  Enter 1. List available drivers and see if there is an asterisk (*)
    in front of your driver. If there is an asterisk (*) in front of your
    driver, press ESC and go to step 13.

10. If there is not an asterisk (*), press ESC, then select 3. Configure
    kernel.

11. Select 1. Add driver and enter the number of your driver from the
    display.

12. Press ESC and select 4. Return to previous menu.

13. Select 4. Build kernel.

14. Select 2. Build current configuration.

    Note 
    If this is an initial installation of or update to VINES 7.0,
    select 3. Return to previous menu,  then select 7. Exit, and continue
    with the installation. See your Server Installation Guide.
  
15. Do not save the current kernel to unix.orig when prompted. The
    unix.orig that is on the system is the kernel that came with VINES. It
    allows you to boot the original operating system in case of problems.

16. Select 3. Return, and 7. Exit to exit to the Operator Menu when the
    operating system completes rebuilding and then select 4. Shut Down
    Server Software, and select 2. Shut down services and do an AUTOMATIC
    REBOOT to reboot your server.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

• Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

• If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

• Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

• Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

• Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

• From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

• Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
