HAM-driver for Netware 3.x

[Ayman Altounji]

Is there still a HAM driver for the ULTRA 3 controller for Netware 3.x? I can only find a NLM for Netware 4.x

Thanks in advance,

[Ayman Altounji]

I do believe its not available for netware 3.x . This os is no longer supported on our new server (the ml and dl) and other pIII. You can always double check this by calling tech support.

Hello,

First this version of NetWare is not a Supported Operating System for this server; please check out the Compaq Server Support matrix [ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/os-support-matrix-310.pdf]

If you browse the Smart Start CD you will see a directory called CPQHLP, under this directory are all the ?HELP? files for the Smart Start CD along with other various tid bits of Compaq specific information,

Under this directory if you open the help file labelled NWPRMENG, you will see the Manual Novell 3.x instructions. If you follow this ?STEP BY STEP? guide you should not run into any specific issues.

When you get to this Novell Driver selection the 64 BIT SCSI controller is now an ADAPTEC CHIPSET, the proper driver for this controller is ADPT160M.HAM and should be Version 17.00M. (The NetWare 4.x driver will work under Netware 3.x, but is not really supported)

You also were stating that you were using the Smart Start 4.90, you should be using a newer version of Smart Start or drivers from the Compaq Support Site [http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/12978.html (Compaq Support Paq for Novell NetWare Version 5.40 A (29 Apr 02))] for this specific driver on this server or you will run into other issues later during the life of this Novell Server install.

There are specific drivers that need to be loaded depending of the module and CPU speed of the server, you should contact Compaq Technical Support for additional information regarding these drivers and other helpful time saving steps.
