INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
----------------------

The purpose of this document is to briefly explain the 
installation of the NetWare 386 LAN drivers that are used 
with the Standard Microsystems EtherCard PLUS Family LAN adapters.

The files in the release diskette are:

  INSTALL.DOC     This file.
  RELEASE.DOC     Version number and specific release                          
		  information.
  SMC8000.LAN     NetWare 386 3.12 Server driver.

1.  Refer to the NetWare 386 Installation manual and follow 
    the instructions to partition the hard disk and to copy 
    the necessary system files to drive C:.

3.  Copy SMC8000.LAN from the SuperDisk diskette to the 
    NETW_386\312 subdirectory.

4.  Follow the "Run SERVER" and the "Load loadable modules" 
    sections of Novell's Installation Manual to Step (3) - 
    Load LAN driver module.  

	load c:\netw_386\312\smc8000 <Enter>  

5.  Answer the prompts for the hardware attributes of each 
    adapter. Depending on the type of adapter you have, there 
    are up to four adapter specific configuration parameters 
    the driver may ask you to supply:

    1) I/O Base Address.
    2) Interrupt Request (IRQ) Level.
    3) RAM Buffer Base Address.
    4) Size of RAM Buffer - Enter 400
    5) MCA Bus Slot number (Micro Channel Only).

    For the EtherCard Elite adapter, only the I/O base address
    is required.

    For the EtherCard Elite/A adapter, only the bus slot number 
    is required.

    If you do not want the prompts to appear, you can include
    the required configuration parameters in the command line. 
    Refer to the SMC EtherCard User Manual under "NetWare 386 
    Server Driver Installation."

    
ERROR MESSAGES
--------------

1.      "Could not find an adapter at I/O base address xx."

	The driver was unable to find a EtherCard Elite adapter 
	at the specified base I/O address. Run EZSETUP to configure
	the board.


2.      "Could not find an adapter at slot xx."

	The driver was unable to find a EtherCard Elite/A adapter 
	at the specified slot ID in a Micro Channel system. Run
	IBM setup program to configure the adapter.

3.      Adapter hardware failure detected (self-test)."

	During self-test the driver detected a problem
	with the adapter hardware. Run the DIAGNOSE program to
	test the adapter.
	

4.      "Adapter hardware failure detected (initialization)."

	During initialization the driver detected a problem
	with the adapter hardware. Run the DIAGNOSE program to
	test the adapter.

5.      "Cannot access adapter RAM properly."

	This is an internal OS error that occurs when the driver
	is unable to allocate memory needed for its local data.
	
6.      "Other system RAM already occupies adapter RAM."

	The driver cannot load because another device is occupying
	its assigned RAM space. Use the EZSETUP to configure the
	SMC EtherCard.

7.      "Other system ROM already occupies adapter RAM."

	The driver cannot load because a ROM device (perhaps BIOS)
	is occupying its assigned RAM space.

8.      "Adapter IRQ higher than 7 not valid in 8-bit slot."

	The adapter IRQ is set above 7. Reset to lower IRQ level.

9.     "Adapter unable to process a multicast address."

	A node address was given on the command line or the board
	is configured for a node address that is reserved for
	multicast address. This can be fixed by zeroing the Least
	Significant Bit of the Most Significant Byte of the node
	address.

10.     "Possible cable disconnect detected on LAN adapter."

	Adapter cannot detect cable connection to the network. Check
	the integrity of the cable connection to the adapter.


WARNING MESSAGES
----------------

1.      Unneeded Memory Address ignored

	The user specified a memory address parameter when 
	loading the driver that was un-needed. A software specified 
	memory address will be used instead. 

2.      Unneeded Memory Length ignored

	The user specified a memory length parameter when loading 
	the driver that was un-needed. A software specified memory 
	length will be used instead. 

3.      Unneeded Interrupt number ignored
	
	The user specified a interrupt number parameter when 
	loading the driver that was un-needed. A software specified 
	interrupt number will be used instead.
