                SCO Boot Time Loadable DPT RAID Driver

Installation of the DPT RAID device driver is a simple proceedure that
can be performed either as a "Boot Time Loadable Driver (BTLD)" or as a
driver installed into an up and running system. The same installation
floppy will be used for both types of installations. The only time that
you would need to install the driver as a BTLD is if you configured the
"boot" device as a software RAID 0 LSU. In all other cases when the RAID 0
LSU is a secondary device, the installation should be done after the
system is installed and running.

Installing As A Boot Time Loadable Driver (BTLD) :

   1) Insert the standard SCO N1 boot floppy into the drive and power
      on the system.
   2) At the "Boot:" prompt, enter the string :

               defbootstr disable=dpt link="dptraid"

      and press Enter.
   3) The system will load the Unix kernel from the N1 floppy and then
      prompt you to insert the dptraid installation floppy. Insert the
      floppy and press Enter. The system will copy the necessary object
      files from the floppy and link them into the Unix kernel.
   4) Next you will be asked to insert the N2 floppy. When you press Enter,
      the Unix kernel will boot. During the SCO Unix Hardware Roster Screen
      the following line should appear:
           "%adapter type=dptr ha=0 id=7 Primary, Bus Master"
   5) From here on you should go through a normal SCO Unix installation as
      outlined in the DPT Manual. At some point in the installation you
      will be prompted to insert the dptraid install disk again. All of the
      necessary files will be copied off of the disk and stored in memory.
      Near the end of the installation when the install script is setting
      up the link kit for the currently installed hardware configuration,
      you will be prompted to install the dptraid driver into the link kit.

               NAME              DESCRIPTION
               dptraid           A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver

          Please enter the names of the packages you
          wish to install, or q to quit:

      type dptraid and press Enter. The DPT RAID driver will be installed
      and a new Unix kernel will be build and installed.

Installing into an up and running system :

   1) At the Unix prompt Enter the command installpkg and press Enter.
      You will be prompted to insert a disk. Insert the dptraid install
      disk and press Enter.
   2) you will be prompted with:
          The following packages are on this disk:

               NAME              DESCRIPTION
               dptraid           A DPT RAID SCSI Host Adapter Driver

          Please enter the names of the packages you
          wish to install, or q to quit:

      type dptraid and press Enter
   3) The installation package will turn off the original DPT driver and
      install the new DPT RAID Driver.
   4) A new Unix kernel must be build and installed before the new driver
      is can be accessed.

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.
