3Com (R) Corporation
EtherDisk (R) Diskette for
The EtherLink 10 ISA NIC Family
Installing a NIC in a NetWare 16-Bit DOS ODI Client
This section describes how to install the driver for a 16-bit NetWare client
running DOS.
NOTE: If only one NIC has been installed, you may use the 3Com
Intelligent Auto Install software program to automatically install the
NetWare DOS ODI client software, including the driver, and to modify
the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
To use the Intelligent Auto Install program, the computer must meet these
requirements:
1. Use Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.1 or 4.11 network operating system
2. Have only one 3Com EtherLink 10 ISA (3C5X9) Parallel Tasking NIC
installed
3. Be intended for use as a NetWare DOS ODI client
Installing the Driver for One NIC
-------------------------------------
If only one NIC is installed, use the Intelligent Auto Install program to
install the driver automatically, as follows:
1. Make sure the NIC is installed and connected to the network.
2. Boot the computer under DOS.
3. Insert the EtherDisk #2 diskette in drive A and type the following at
the DOS prompt:
A:\COMSLINK [Enter]
4. The first time you use the EtherDisk diskette, the 3Com software
license appears. To accept its terms, type Y. (To view all the license
text, press [F1].)
Several messages appear while the Intelligent Auto Install program is
running. A final message indicates successful installation.
NOTE: If a problem occurs when the Intelligent Auto Install program runs,
view or print the COMSLINK.LOG file located on your C:\ directory
to determine which event may have caused the problem.
5. When installation is complete, you will be asked if you want to reboot
the computer. For the installation to be effective, remove the
EtherDisk diskette and reboot the computer. You will be prompted for
your user name and password.
6. If you are using Windows or Windows for Workgroup on this computer, you
may also need to install the Novell Windows support software, which can
be obtained from Novell.
Installing the Driver for Multiple NICs
-------------------------------------------
NOTE: Use multiple NICs in a client computer only if you plan to run
multiple protocols or connect to more than one network. For
information on multiple protocols, see the documentation provided
with your operating system.
To install the driver and NICs for a client computer running DOS in a
Novell NetWare environment, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the computer off. Install the first NIC and connect it to the
network.
2. Turn the computer on and install the driver for the first NIC with
the Intelligent Auto Install program (see the above section for
instructions). Be sure to remove the EtherDisk diskette after
installation is finished.
3. Turn the computer off again, install the second NIC, and connect
it to the network.
4. Proceed as follows:
- If the computer is running a version of DOS below 6.x, boot it from
a DOS diskette that does not contain drivers.
- If the computer is running DOS version 6.x, turn it on and press [F5]
when DOS loads, after the "Starting MS-DOS..." message. This
prevents any drivers or memory managers from loading.
5. Insert the EtherDisk #2 diskette in drive A, and type the following
at the DOS prompt:
A:\INSTALL [Enter]
6. On the main menu, select Configuration and Diagnostic Program and
press [Enter].
7. In the list of NICs, find the port or slot number of the two NICs
you just installed. Write down the numbers in a place where you can
refer to them later, and press [Esc] to quit the program.
8. Access the C:\NWCLIENT directory and open the NET.CFG file. Type:
EDIT NET.CFG [Enter]
9. Scroll through the file to the LINK DRIVER 3C5X9 section and locate
the following line:
LINK DRIVER 3C5X9
10. Following this line, add a line PORT = XXX or SLOT = Y. The port
address is a hexadecimal I/O address. SLOT is a decimal bus slot
number. Use PORT for the 3C509 NICs in ISA mode and SLOT for 3C509
NICs in EISA or PnP mode.
11. Following the second LINK DRIVER 3C5X9 repeat step 10 and add the PORT
or SLOT number for the second NIC.
12. When you are done, reboot the computer.
