DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq is for Japanese products, and cannot be run 
in United States mode.  It creates seven diskettes.
The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare 
Loadable Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the 
performance of NetWare and IntranetWare on Compaq servers.  
This software enhances the performance of Compaq options such as Compaq 
Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, and Compaq 
CD-ROM drives.

Enhancements/Fixes:  

This release of the Support Software for Novell Products (NSSD) primarily
supports the following new products:
   
   -  Compaq ProLiant CL1850
   -  Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter
     
The following Compaq drivers were updated:

   ADPT160M.HAM v.10.00 - NSSD 5.30
   -  Created the Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI
      Adapter Driver to support the new Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual 
      Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter.

   CPQFC.HAM v.2.10 - NSSD 5.30A
   -  Fixed multi-initiator issues where multiple servers going
      down or coming up at approximately the same time, which caused 
      other servers to decide that the fibre channel loop was unstable
      and perform unneccessary path failovers.
   -  Fixed a potential problem on Enterprise Backup Systems.  If the driver 
      determined that the loop being used by servers to share a library(s)
      was unstable, the driver would take host adapter lasers offline and 
      backup applications would lose access to the libraries.
   -  Fixed a recognition problem in the driver.  Previous versions of the 
      driver did not recognize that a FCTC bridge had been powered back on 
      after a power down, so the driver was not notifying the Compaq Insight
      Management Agents that the bridge was powered on.
   -  Modified the driver to avoid potential device deactivations during a
      Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Redundant RAID Array 4000 Controller hot-swap
      in a Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 Array Kit.

   CPQSCSI.HAM v.1.38 - NSSD 5.30A
   - Added support for the following:
     * Compaq ProLiant CL1850
     * Compaq StorageWorks Library Adapter
   - Fixed potential problems when transitioning from Real Mode to
     Protected Mode, preventing interrupt storms, system hangs, etc. 
     from occurring during this transition.

   CPQONLIN.NLM v. 2.42 - NSSD 5.30A
   -  Fixed a bug that would not prevent the user from attempting to 
      create a new logical drive when a failed drive was present in
      the array. 
   -  Fixed a bug that did not allow migration or expansion priorities
      to be set on a Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller. 
 
   CPQARRAY.HAM v.2.05 - NSSD 5.30A
   -  Added background task shutdowns on unload of the driver instance.
   -  Modified the driver to fix a bug where board lockups could cause
      inability to fail over twice. 
   -  Updated the deactivate routine to switch option ROM on deactivate
      as well as on shutdown; lockup on a boot pair could cause a real-mode
      interrupt to appear to hang (timeout of 5 minutes). 

The following Novell drivers were also updated:

   -  Ethernet Support			ETHERTSM.NLM     v.3.80
   -  Hot Plug Utility			NCMCON.NLM       v.116
   -  Media Support			MSM.NLM          v.3.95
   -  Media Support			MSM31X.NLM       v.3.95
   -  Novell Configuration Manager	NCM.NLM          v.1.10
   -  NWPA Support			NWPA.NLM         v.2.35
   -  SFT-III MS Engine NWPA Support	NWPAMS.NLM	 v.2.35
   -  Token-Ring Support		TOKENTSM.NLM     v.3.77

HOW TO USE

1. Obtain seven (7) formatted 1.44 MB diskettes.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes.

4.  After the diskettes have been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. For installation instructions, refer to READ1ST.RDM and WHATSNEW.RDM 
on the created diskettes.
