HP OMNIBOOK 5700CT NOTEBOOK PC - WINDOWS 3.1 OR WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS
3.11, INSTALLING SCSI DRIVERS


INTRODUCTION
     
     The HP OmniBook 5700 Notebook PC includes Microsoft (R) Windows
     for Workgroups 3.11 as one choice for the preloaded and
     preconfigured operating system.  If you install retail Windows for
     Workgroups 3.11 or Windows 3.1, follow these instructions to
     install the HP OmniBook Notebook PC SCSI drivers.
     
          
          NOTE:     The SCSI drivers are needed only if you
                    are using an HP OmniBook Notebook PC
                    docking system.
     

REQUIREMENTS
     
     *    HP OmniBook 5700 Notebook PC with Microsoft Windows 3.1 or
          Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installed.
     
     *    HP OmniBook 5700 Notebook PC SCSI drivers. Use the drivers
          from the hard disk in the C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\SCSI 
          directory or from the HP OmniBook 5700 Notebook PC Recovery
          CD in the \OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\SCSI directory. 
     

PROCEDURE
     
     1. In File Manager or at the MS-DOS (R) prompt, create a
        directory named C:\PCSCSI.
     
     2. Copy the SCSI driver files from the drivers disk (or from
        C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\SCSI or from the Recovery CD) to the
        C:\PCSCSI directory.
     
     3. Open the C:\CONFIG.SYS file for editing.
     
     4. Add the following lines into CONFIG.SYS in the order shown.
        (You do not need the REM'ed lines. They are simply for
        explanation.)
          
	REM If SCSI BIOS is enabled (SCU setting), CB00-CFFF must be excluded.
        REM For example, if 8K is used for PCMCIA the EMM386 line would be
	REM device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c000-d1ff i=d200-e7ff x=e800-efff
	REM and if 32K is used for PCMCIA the EMM386 line would be
	REM device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c000-d7ff i=d800-e7ff x=e800-efff

	REM Environment variable to pass SCSI status to AUTOEXEC.BAT
	set aspi_scsi=1

	REM AMSIDA.SYS is SCSI ASPI layer.  It is required for SCSI devices 
	REM except if only a disk is being used and the SCSI BIOS is enabled 
        REM in the SCU.  Add "REM" not to load AMSIDA.SYS if no SCSI devices
        REM are used.  
	devicehigh=c:\pcscsi\amsida.sys /v

	REM AMSIRM.SYS supports SCSI hard disk drives.
	REM AMSIRM.SYS does not load if AMSIDA.SYS is not loaded or no SCSI
	REM hard disk drives are present.
	device=c:\pcscsi\amsirm.sys

	REM AMSICD.SYS supports SCSI CD-ROM drives.
	REM AMSICD.SYS does not load if AMSIDA.SYS is not loaded or no SCSI
	REM CD-ROM drives are present.
	devicehigh=c:\pcscsi\amsicd.sys /d:amdcd001

     5. Save the changes, then open the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file for
        editing.
     
     6. Add the following lines into AUTOEXEC.BAT in the order
        shown. (You do not need the REM'ed lines. They are simply
        for explanation.)
          
        REM For active SCSI status...
        if not %aspi_scsi%.==1. goto noscsi
        REM Add "REM" to beginning of next line if SCSI CD-ROM drive
        REM not installed
        c:\dos\mscdex /d:amdcd001 /d:mscd001 /m:12
     
     7. Save the changes, exit Windows, and press CTRL+ALT+DEL to
        reboot the HP OmniBook Notebook PC for the changes to take
        effect.
