NetWare 3.12 Server Driver Installation Notes
This file explains how to install the ODI server driver on this diskette
into a NetWare 3.12 server. The NetWare installation program does not
have driver import capability. Therefore, the following procedure
assumes that the NetWare server software is already installed but not yet
running.
Installing the Server Driver into a NetWare 3.12 Server
-------------------------------------------------------
To install this server driver into a NetWare 3.12 server, either
use the program on this diskette or manually copy the files to the server's
hard disk. To manually install the driver, proceed as follows:
1. Copy all of the files (except for MSM.NLM) from the \NWSERVER
subdirectory on this EtherDisk diskette to the server hard disk.
2. Boot the server and launch the Installer program.
3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to add the following line (assuming the
server start directory is C:\SERVER, where the LAN drivers and NLM
files were copied):
LOAD C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=<portnumber>
The <portnumber> variable is the hexadecimal port number of the PCI
NIC. This address can be obtained from the Configuration and
Diagnostic Program.
Multiple NICs
-----------------
To support more than one NIC in a server, change the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file to the format shown below:
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=<port1> NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype>
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=<port2> NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype>
where <port1> and <port2> are the NICs' PCI port addresses, and
<name1> and <name2> are user-specified names that you assign to
distinguish the multiple NICs.
The FRAME parameter is optional. The default frame type is
Ethernet_802.2. If you want the ODI server driver to support more
than one frame type, then both the unique NAME= and FRAME= parameters
must be paired on each load driver line. The valid frame types are
Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, and Ethernet_SNAP.
The protocol(s) must be bound to the specific driver configuration
using the user-assigned unique names. The following example shows how
this can be done:
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=1000 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ADPONE
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=2000 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ADPTWO
bind IPX to ADPONE
bind IPX to ADPTWO
The examples used may require other parameters to work properly.
Consult the appropriate Novell NetWare manuals for details.
