STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION Novell Netware 2.15 or 2.2 Server with Appletalk Phase II For Ethernet LAN Adapters INSTALLATION GUIDE This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only. Copyright (c) 1993 Standard Microsystems Corporation. All right reserved. This installation guide describes: o How to use EZStart or a manual procedure to copy the Novell NetWare 2.15 and 2.2 server driver files from the SuperDisk to your PC. o How to build the Novell NetWare 2.2 server. o How to install the NetWare 2.2 server. o Error messages. Note: This driver supports all 8216 (Ultra) and 80xx (PLUS) Series ISA and Micro Channel Ethernet adapters. COPYING THE DRIVER FILES EZStart Method: From the Driver Installation screen, select 'Copy Files' to copy all the files used by this driver from the SuperDisk to the Destination Directory recommended by EZStart, or to a different directory that you specify. Manual Method: To generate NetWare 2.2 software from a floppy drive, the generation software prompts you to insert the driver diskette at the appropriate time. NetWare installation procedures require the driver files to reside in the root directory of a floppy disk whose volume label is LAN_DRV_200. If you copy these files to another floppy disk, be sure to set the volume label of the new disk to LAN_DRV_200. To generate the driver from a hard disk: 1. Copy the Netware 2.2 floppy disks to your PC's hard disk, as described in the Netware 2.2 manual. 2. Create a directory named LAN_DRV_.200. This directory must be at the same level as the LAN_DRV_.001 directory. Copy all .OBJ files to the LAN_DRV_.200 directory. 3. If you have a server, copy the SMCNW286.LAN file to the SYSTEM-1 file. If you have a router, copy this file to the ROUTEGEN directory. 4. If you have a server, run INSTALL. If you have a router, run ROUTEGEN. For more information, refer to the NetWare 2.2 Installation manual. BUILDING THE NetWare 2.2 SERVER To build the NetWare 2.2 server: 1. Determine the LAN adapter configuration. For information on RAM, Base I/O and IRQ, see the supplied SYSMAP.DOC file. 2. If you are running Appletalk on your server and want to use these server drivers with Appletalk Phase II, download the NetWare for Macintosh VAPs to the server's hard disk during the installation process. This is accomplished by the INSTALL program, which asks if you want to load the Macintosh VAPs. Answer "Yes" to load them. Follow the instructions in the NetWare for Macintosh Installation and Maintenance manual in order to initialize these VAPs and to bring up your server using Appletalk Phase II. 3. Run the Novell server generation program, INSTALL. Follow the instructions in the Netware Installation manual. 4. Select the SMC Ethernet Adapter Novell 286 Server driver. 5. Select the Software Configuration. For all SMC ISA adapters: Select 'First Software Configured Adapter' for the first software-configured LAN adapter. Select 'Second Software Configured Adapter' for the second software- configured LAN adapter, and so on. When one software-configured LAN adapter card is installed in the server, select the default configuration 'First Software Configured Adapter'. The server driver will read the specific configuration information directly from the adapter. If the server contains more than one software-configured LAN adapter, select 'Second Software Configured Adapter' for the second software configured LAN adapter, etc. You can select up to four adapters per server driver. First, Second, etc., are determined by the Base I/O address of the adapter; for example, if there are two adapters, one with Base I/O address 240 and another with an address of 280, 240 will be the 'First Software Configured Adapter'. For Western Digital adapters, which are not software configurable: Configuration entries must specify a base I/O, IRQ, and RAM size that match those selected on the adapter. Ifnone of the choices in the table matches the hardware configuration desired, select the "Ethernet LAN Adapter Configurable by Jumpers Utility" entry and run Novell's JUMPERS.EXE version 2.00 configuration program. This utility lets you configure the LAN software to use any supported hardware configuration parameters. For more information on JUMPERS.EXE, refer to the documentation supplied with the software. The JUMPERS utility is available from Novell or CompuServ. When selecting RAM size, note that the RAM location for jumper-configured adapters is set by the driver to the location specified in the configuration selected. There are configuration selections designating RAM sizes of 8, 16, and 32 Kbytes of RAM. Adapters with 8 Kbytes of RAM can be used with configuration selections that specify 8, 16 or 32 Kbytes of RAM. Adapters with 32 Kbytes of RAM must be used with 32 Kbyte RAM configuration selections. For Micro Channel adapters: Select 'First Micro Channel Adapter' for the first LAN adapter, 'Second Micro Channel Adapter' for the second LAN adapter, and so on. First, Second, etc., are determined by the slot number of the adapter; for example, if two adapters are in slots 2 and 4 of the computer, the adapter in slot 2 is the 'First'. When there is more than one adapter in a computer, each adapter must be configured so that interrupts are not shared. Do NOT use the automatic configuration option when initializing the adapter from the Reference Diskette. Automatic configuration assumes that interrupts are shared. Instead, initialize the adapter by selecting the Set Configuration option from the main menu. Set the interrupt vector to an interrupt that is not being used by another adapter. INSTALLING THE NetWare 2.2 SERVER 1. Follow the instructions in the Netware Installation manual if building and installing a 2.2 server on a hard disk for the first time. 2. To update a current 2.2 Server, answer "No" to the question "Will this machine be the server" during the INSTALL process. This will create a NET$OS.EXE file that may be loaded to the \SYS\SYSTEM subdirectory of the server's hard disk via a workstation. 3. Down the server, then reboot the server to run the new driver. 4. If installing an AppleTalk driver in a NetWare 2.2 server, refer to the NetWare for Macintosh Installation Supplement. Note: When installing a NetWare External Bridge to be used with AppleTalk Phase 2, the minimum requirements for system memory are 5 Mbytes. ERROR MESSAGES "Could not find an adapter at I/O base address XXX" The driver was unable to find an SMC Ethernet LAN adapter at the specified base I/O address. Check for adapter conflicts and retry the installation. Check that the adapter is seated properly in adapter slot.
