If you have not already done so, use the
Dell Server Assistant
CD to create the
IntranetWare SCSI and RAID drivers diskette. Chapter 2, “Using the Dell Server
Assistant CD,” provides instructions for creating the diskette.
If you have a RAID controller installed, you may have a RAID driver diskette included
with your shipment. If so, use that diskette as the source of your RAID driver rather
than the SCSI and RAID drivers diskette created from the
Dell Server Assistant
CD.
NOTE: Label all driver diskettes. (For example, label it
IntranetWare 4.11 Driver
Updates
).
Once the diskettes are created, continue to the next subsection, “Preparing the Hard-
Disk Drive for IntranetWare Installation.”

To prepare the hard-disk drive for IntranetWare installation, you must create a utility
partition on the drive, create the primary MS-DOS partition, format the MS-DOS parti-
tion, create the c:\dos and c:\scsi subdirectories, and install certain system files.
You do not need to create a utility partition if you are installing IntranetWare on your
system for the first time. Dell shipped your system with the utility partition already
created on the hard-disk drive; you can proceed to create the primary MS-DOS parti-
tion on the drive. If you are reinstalling IntranetWare, you will need to delete the utility
partition and re-create it.
