This information applies to Novel NetWare versions 4.11, 4.2 and 5.
The following sections describe procedures for installing DPT-supplied

produced by Novell and tested by DPT for compatibility with DPT
SmartRAID V and VI controllers.

Two installation scenarios are described for each version of NetWare:

  Initial Installation
  Adding to an existing system

The final section describes the procedure for installing remote communication
support for DPT Storage Manager.
