Section 1 INSTALLING THE FDDI DEVICE DRIVER ON SCO OPEN SERVER
---------------------------------------------------------------
Driver Revision: v3.2.0a
Specification Revision: MDI Version 1.0
Software Requirements:
SCO OpenServer v5.0.2
SCO Advanced Hardware Supplement v5.2.0
Hardware Requirements:
One or more (up to 8) of the following adapters -
DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA (All models and revisions)
DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI (All models and revisions)
To install the driver off floppy:
1. Make sure this floppy is in drive.
2. Run custom(ADM) utility and select "Software",
followed by "Install New...".
3. When prompted, select the local host machine to

Section 2 INSTALLING THE FDDI DEVICE DRIVER ON SCO UNIX/OPEN DESKTOP
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver Revision: v2.0.0a
Specification Revision: LLI Version 3.1 Revision 2
Software Requirements:
SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2v4.2, or later
SCO Open Desktop 3.0
Hardware Requirements:
One or more (up to 8) of the following adapters -
DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA (All models and revisions)
DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI (All models and revisions)
To install the driver off floppy:
1. Make sure this floppy is in drive.
2. Copy the A:\SCO\FXSCOLLI.TAZ file to the UNIX partition using
the doscp(C) command or DOS Merge. Rename, uncompress, and
extract the file to a UNIX formatted 3 1/2" floppy using the
following commands:
# mv FXSCOLLI.TAZ fxscolli.tar.Z
# uncompress fxscolli.tar.Z
# dd if=fxscolli.tar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 bs=18k
3. Run the custom(ADM) utility to install the driver off the newly
created UNIX driver floppy.
4. Run the netconfig(ADM) utility for each adapter to be configured
into the system.
To extract driver release notes:
Enter the following commands to extract the driver release notes from
the UNIX formatted floppy and display them:
# cd /
# tar xvf /dev/rfd0 ./usr/lib/dfx/rel_inst.notes
# cd /usr/lib/dfx
# more rel_inst.notes
The driver release notes file contains additional installation and
configuration information for this driver.
