Novell NetWare Server 3.12 -------------------------- For a NetWare 3.12 server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 3.12 ODI driver which is included on the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette. Note: ----- The directory structure provided on the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information can be found in the Novell NetWare 3.12 documentation. Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 3.12 ODI server driver as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the Novell NetWare 3.12 LAN Driver Installation documentation. There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 3.12 driver: (1) use the server command line prompt (":") or (2) edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file. Note: ----- If you use the server command line, you will need to load the driver each time the system is booted. If you edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it will automatically load the driver each time your system is booted. Follow the steps listed below: 1 Install NetWare 3.12 on your system. 2 Copy the ODI Server driver (NE100TX.LAN) and the relative files from the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette to the hard disk directory where the NetWare 3.12 system files are located. The following path should be used to access the files from the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette: NOTE: Rename the existing MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM before start to copy the following files into your NetWare systems. A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\MSM31X.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\ETHERTSM.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\NBI31X.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\NE100TX.LAN 3 Boot NetWare by executing (SERVER.EXE). Refer to the appropriate Novell NetWare documentation on loading disk drivers and mounting volumes for more information. 4 To load the driver manually, follow the steps listed below. If you want to load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), go to step 5. Notes: ------ 1) You must unload ETHERTSM.NLM then MSM.NLM before loading the driver Simply type unload ETHERTSM unload MSM 2) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in a DOS partition. Type the following command at the file server console : LOAD NBI31X LOAD MSM31X LOAD ETHERTSM LOAD NE100TX The relative files will loading automatically. Next, press to accept the "SLOT=" values where your PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter is located. An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter : SLOT = 4 Then, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing: BIND IPX TO NE100TX NET=xxxx (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234) Then press . The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete. 5 To load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), you must first edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file. * Type "LOAD INSTALL" at the server prompt (":") to access the Install Utility. * Open the "SYSTEM OPTIONS" menu to access "EDIT AUTOEXEC". * Then add the following command lines to the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file. An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter: LOAD NE100TX FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 BIND IPX TO NE100TX NET=xxxx (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234) You can load 4 frame type protocol at a time when the server is booted. To use this option you must load and bind another frame type protocol( Ethernet_802.3,Ethernet_II,Ethernet_SNAP ). Loading Multiple PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters -------------------------------------------- The driver must be loaded again for each new PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter installed in the system. If more than one adapter card will be installed, the user must specify the board's SLOT number for each card. For example, to load two PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters: LOAD NE100TX For board 1: load NE100TX slot=4 For board 2: load NE100TX slot=3 The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete. Notes: ------ (1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in a DOS partition. -------------------------------------[END]--------------------------------------
