### Installation of OS/2, DASD, SCSI, and CD-ROM Device Drivers

The key design points of this OEM DASD, SCSI, and CD-ROM device support package include:

The ability to install and, subsequently, start up from a DASD device that requires an OEM-specific adapter device driver interface
An installation process that is transparent to the end-user (that is, it requires no interaction on the part of the end-user)

This chapter describes the strategy developed to address these design points and the responsibilities of a device driver supplier in order to participate in this strategy.
