  Installing OS/2 Warp Version 3 from diskettes:

    1. Start the installation by inserting the IBM OS/2 Installation
       Diskette into drive A and restarting the system, insert other
       diskettes as requested
    2. During the installation from diskette, select "Advanced Installation"
    3. When the System Configuration window is displayed, select the CD-ROM
       Device Support icon and then select the type of CD-ROM device to be
       supported
    4. After completing the OS/2 installation from diskettes, follow the
       procedure below to install the Eiger ADD driver using the Device
       Driver Install utility


* To install the Eiger Fast!SCSI/QLA400 ADD driver on previously installed
  OS/2 system:

    1. Boot up OS/2 system
    2. Insert SCSI driver diskette into drive A (or B)
    3. Select "System Setup" from OS/2 System program group
    4. Select "Device Driver Install" from the System Setup group
    5. Change source directory to A:\OS2 (or B:\OS2)
    6. Select "Install"
    7. Select the "Qlogic Fast!SCSI/QLA400 ADD Driver" followed by "OK". The
       driver will be copied to your boot disk and your CONFIG.SYS file will
       be updated 
    8. You must reboot your system after installing the driver




* The QL40OS2.ADD driver is dependent on PCMCIA card and socket 
  services drivers.  Before installing the Qlogic driver, users should 
  check to ensure that the proper socket and card services are installed
  for their type of machine.  The following procedure can be used to 
  install the proper card and socket services drivers.

    1. Select "System Setup" from the "OS/2 System" program group
    2. Select "Selective Install" from the "System Setup" group
    3. The Icon "PCMCIA Support" should list what brand and model of machine 
       the system is currently configured for. If there is no machine listed, 
       or "NONE" click on the "PCMCIA Support" icon. 
    4. Select the proper machine from the list of supported systems,   
       then select the "OK" button.
    5  Next, the "System Configuration" screen is displayed, select "OK".
    6. Select "Install", when prompted for the diskette, insert the proper
       diskette.
    7. Once the system has the proper files installed, it must be rebooted
       in order for the Qlogic card to function along with card and socket
       services.
    


* OS/2 currently does not have support for PCMCIA devices as part of the
  install script. OS/2 V3.0 cannot be installed to or from a PCMCIA device
  during the initial installation of the operating system.



* OS/2 currently does not support removable SCSI disk devices.  The QLogic
  ADD driver provides limited support for these devices by treating them
  like a fixed disk device.  The disk media must be inserted when booting
  OS/2, and the system must be rebooted when changing the disk media.  To
  enable removable disk support, add the /!R parameter to the BASEDEV=
  command in your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:

		BASEDEV=QL40OS2.ADD /!R


* The following command line parameters are supported by the Eiger
  Fast!SCSI/QLA400 ADD driver:  (add to end of BASEDEV=QL40OS2.ADD line
  in config.sys file)

  /A:d          Specifies which adapter (0 or 1) that following command line
		parameters apply to.

  /I            Ignore the specified adapter (must follow "/A:d" parameter).

  /DM  /!DM     Enable/disable DASD manager support for specified adapter
		and/or devices (add ":d,d,d" to specify list of SCSI IDs or
		":(d,d),(d,d),(d,d)" to specify ID,LUN pairs).  Default is
		enabled.

  /SM  /!SM     Enable/disable SCSI manager support for specified adapter
		and/or devices (add ":d,d,d" to specify list of SCSI IDs or
		":(d,d),(d,d),(d,d)" to specify ID,LUN pairs).  Default is
		enabled.

  /!R           Report removable disk devices to OS/2 as fixed disks.
		By default removable disks will be reported as removable.

  /ET  /!ET     Enable/disable embedded target support for specified adapter.
		Default is enabled (all 8 LUNs supported).  Specify /!ET for
		supporting LUN 0 only.

  /PAR /!PAR    Enable/disable SCSI bus parity checking on specified
		adapter.  Default is parity enabled.

  /SD  /!SD     Enable/disable SCSI disconnects for specified adapter
		and/or devices (add ":d,d,d" to specify list of SCSI IDs or
		":(d,d),(d,d),(d,d)" to specify ID,LUN pairs).  Default is
		enabled.

  /SI:d         Specify SCSI ID to use on specified adapter.  Default is
		SCSI ID 7.

  /SN  /!SN     Enable/disable synchronous negotiations for specified adapter
		and/or devices (add ":d,d,d" to specify list of SCSI IDs or
		":(d,d),(d,d),(d,d)" to specify ID,LUN pairs).  Default is
		enabled.

  /SR  /!SR     Enable/disable SCSI bus reset during boot on specified
		adapter.  Default is enabled.  Do not disable the SCSI bus
		reset if synchronous negotiation is enabled on any device.

  /V            Enable verbose mode (display configuration data during boot).
		Default is disabled.

  The following parameters are for the PCMCIA-10 SCSI adapter only:

  /IRQ:dd       Specify interrupt level to use (PCMCIA mode only).  Default
		is IRQ 11.

  /P   /!P      Enable/disable PCMCIA support.  Default is disabled.

  /P:hhhh       Enable PCMCIA support and specify the base I/O address to use.
		Default base I/O address configured will be 330 or 230.
