How to Make the Installation Diskette from the Disk Image File
--------------------------------------------------------------

	You may find some of the files in this directory have the same 
filename but with different filename extension. They are the same disk 
image but one of them is compressed for easy file transferring:

	1) With no filename extension:
		This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command. To restore
		this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use "dd" command:

		# dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

		(where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk 
		image, "/dev/fd0" refers to the device name of the floppy
		drive.)

	2) With filename extension ".Z":
		This is the disk image made of unix "dd" command, then 
		compressed by unix "compress" command.

		To uncompress the compressed file, use the unix "uncompress"
		command:

		# uncompress filename.Z

		(where "filename.Z" is the filename of the compressed disk
		image. After the file has been uncompressed, the filename
		extension will be removed. The "filename.Z" will become 
		"filename".)

		The compressed file - "filename.Z" will become uncompressed - 
		"filename". To restore this disk image onto a floppy diskette, 
		use "dd" command:

		# dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

		(where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk 
		image, "/dev/fd0" refers to the device name of the floppy
		drive.)

	The disk image files require a floppy drive equipped unix system 
to restore to a floppy diskette. Some unix systems might not have the 
CD-ROM drive, we provide both compressed and uncompressed disk image files 
for easy file transfer between two systems.



Lable the Installation Diskette(s)
----------------------------------

1. Plese refer to "How to Make the Installation Diskette from the Disk Image 
   File" section above to create the floppy diskettes for installation.

2. Please lable the diskette made of "IAAL111H" as:

Before Using In-band SCSI for Linux
-----------------------------------

1. Make sure the "generic SCSI" exists when building Linux.

2. Set proper "Peripheral Device Type" to the controller if there is no logical
   drive mapping to the host channel. Please refer to README.TXT in "\3102\DISK" 
   for how to set the Peripheral Device Type to the RAID controller.

3. No extra driver software requires to be loaded.


To run Text RAID Manager for Linux:
-----------------------------------
1. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, mount it.

    # mount -r /dev/fd0 /mnt

2. Execute the Raidman in /tools directory.

   # cd /mnt/tools
   # ./raidman
