NetWare 286 v2.15 Installation
To unduplex the drives again, select "Un-mirror Existing Mirror Pair". When duplexing is
enabled
or
disabled, as desired, select "Done, Continue Installation"
to
continue. Follow
NetWare installation manual for naming the file server, installing the files, and other
instructions.

Multiple
Channels
Per
Host
Adapter
(Multitasking)
When a host adapter has more than one disk drive connected, a performance increase can
be realized by assigning each drive to its own channel. This allows for multitasking on
the SCSI bus (because NetWare 286 can only do one I/O
per
channel at a time).

The NetWare 286 drivers
of
ASW-I440 v3.0 allow you to configure multiple channels
per
host adapter, thus allowing multitasking
on
the SCSI bus. This is done
by
allowing
the user to map a channel to a drive rather than a channel to a host adapter. NetWare 286
can do only one I/O per channel at a time.
The following hardware considerations should
be taken into account when preparing the
AHA-1540/1542/1640/1740/1744 disk drives for multitasking.
- The drives must
be connected on the same SCSI cable on the same AHA-
1540/1542/1640/1740/1744.
- The SCSI ID
of
the drives must be different
if
on the same SCSI bus (Note:
If
booting
is
desired
from
one
of
the SCSI drives, its SCSI ID must be
jumpered
to
0 and the port address
of
the host adapter should be set to 330H)
