PCI Disk Array Controller Drivers Manual

The tape drive may be placed on any channel. However, if another device 
with the same SCSI ID is present on a lower channel, the tape may not 
function properly.

The driver that provides support for CD-ROM devices also gets installed as 
a part of the standard controller SCO UNIX driver installation. It is 
recommended that a CD-ROM drive installed on any controller channel be 
set to SCSI ID 5. 

Use the View/Update Configuration option of the Mylex Disk Array 
Controller Configuration Utility to configure the CD-ROM. Save the new 
configuration before trying to use the CD-ROM under SCO UNIX.

To install UNIX from a CD-ROM drive, follow the standard SCO UNIX 
OpenServer installation instructions for CD-ROM. A screen will prompt you 
for the type of installation being performed. You can choose either TAPE 
(default), or CD-ROM, etc. From here you can select the SCSI option as 
described in the SCO UNIX documentation.

If UNIX was not installed from CD-ROM, then a CD-ROM drive may be 
configured using the mkdev cdrom command. The LUN of this device should 
always be set to 0. 

A CD-ROM drive may be placed on any channel. However, if another non-
disk device with the same ID is present on a lower channel, only the non-
disk device on the lower channel will be accessible.
