The number at the end of the command is the device number and should be changed if the
CD drive number is different on the machine being used. After the files are extracted from
the CD-ROM, a directory named “driver” is created.
The user must be logged in as “root” or superuser to proceed from this point. The
following steps should be followed for proper installation of the driver program:
Note:
“hostname#” represents the system prompt; that is, it is not to be entered as part
of the command.
The HP device driver for the ADS supports multiple host interface cards (up to three,
limited by the addresses that can be selected on the host interface card) installed into a
single HP-700 workstation.
1. When the files were installed, a directory called driver was created in the hierarchy.
Make this the current directory now by executing the following command, where
ADS-PATH is the path to where the ADS files were installed:
hostname# cd /ADS-PATH/driver
2. Copy and change the ownership, group and mode of the device driver library file,
libmdsp.a, using the following commands:
hostname# cp libmdsp.a /etc/conf
hostname# chown bin /etc/conf/libmdsp.a
hostname# chgrp bin /etc/conf/libmdsp.a
hostname# chmod 444 /etc/conf/libmdsp.a
3. To install the device configuration file, type the following command. (Note that it
may be necessary to escape the ! by using a backslash \, depending on the shell you
are using.)
hostname# cp !MOT0010.CFG /etc/eisa
This copies the configuration file into the system EISA configuration directory.
Modify the copy of the file in /etc/eisa to reflect the I/O port that the card is
configured for (change the PORT entry).
If you are using multiple host interface cards in your HP, make multiple copies of
this file in /etc/eisa, changing the last digit of the file name on each copy. Modify
each copy to have the correct ID and PORT entries (the ID entry should be the
name of the file without the .CFG extension). Each PORT entry should be modified
to contain the proper addresses for the additional cards that are supported.
4. Run the EISA configuration program by typing this command:
hostname# /etc/eisa_config
