-------The NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Card Boot ROM Installation Guide  ----------------------

How to install the Novell RPL Server
------------------------------------
  0. Use the DOS SYS command to create a bootable diskette.

     e.g.  C:\DOS>SYS A:

  1. The remote boot diskette must contains the following files:

        COMMAND  COM
        LSL      COM
        NE100TX  COM
        IPXODI   COM
        NETX     EXE
        AUTOEXEC BAT

     The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain these lines :
           LSL
           NE100TX
           IPXODI
           NETX

  2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
     the server as SUPERVISOR.

  3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM

  4. With the DOS boot diskette in driver A: execute the DOSGEN utility. This
     creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.

  5. Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

  6. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

  7. Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     Note: It depends on file server's version.

           In the RPL developer's kit,

           for Netware 3.11,  use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;

           for Netware 3.12/4.x  use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;

  8. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     For example:

          file server name FTEST
          ipx internal net 831123

          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap

          bind ipx to ftest_1 net=21
          bind ipx to ftest_2 net=22
          bind ipx to ftest_3 net=23
          bind ipx to ftest_4 net=24

          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
          load rpl
          bind rpl to ftest_1
          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------

          mount all

          load monitor

  9. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

 10. Using NDCDIAG.EXE program to configure the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet
     Card to enable Boot ROM function.

 11. Reboot the workstation.

 12. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
     ROM on the NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet Card will be attached to the file server without
     any hard disk or floppy.


How to install Microsoft Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 RPL server
------------------------------------------------------

 1.Installing Remoteboot Service on the Server.
  (a).Choose Control Panel, Network, Add Software, Remoteboot
      Service, Insert the NT Server CD or floppy disk as requested and
      follow the on-line instrustions.

   Note:
        Before installing RPL server, you must have installed
        DLC and NetBEUI protocol in your NT 3.5, 3.51 Server.

 2.Sharing RPLFILES files and to install MS-DOS Files for
   Remoteboot workstation.

  (a).Sharing \\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles   ;use File manager sharing

  (b).Copy all the MS-DOS 6.22 ver files to
       -----> \\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
       copy c:\dos\*.* V:\BINFILES\DOS622
       attrib -s -h c:\io.sys
       attrib -s -h c:\msdos.sys
       copy c:\io.sys V:\BINFILES\DOS622
       copy c:\msdos.sys V:\BINFILES\DOS622
       attrib +s +h c:\io.sys
       attrib +s +h c:\msdos.sys

 3.Creating Remoteboot configuration for new adapter
  (a).copy the MS-DOS device driver (NDIS2) for the NE100TX-E
      adapter to the  \\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory
      (NE100TX.DOS of NE100TX-E PCI Fast Ethernet driver)
  (b).Create the directory \\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NE100TX
      and copy NE100TX.CNF, protocol.ini files.
  (c).Use RPLCMD utility to add a bblock record for new adapter.
  (d).At the MS-DOS Prompt type: NET START RemoteBoot
                      then type: RPLCMD
  (e).Follow the on-line underlined options.
