COPYING THE DRIVER FILES
From the EZStart 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.
The EZStart default Destination Directory is a:\. Please make
a backup copy of your SuperDisk before EZStart copies files to
create a installation diskette.
BUILDING THE NOVELL NETWARE 2.2 SERVER FROM FLOPPY
1. Insert the Novell diskette labeled SYSTEM-1 into drive A and
execute INSTALL.
2. When prompted for a LAN_DRV_??? diskette, insert the SMC
SuperDisk into drive A. For more information on using this
software, refer to the NetWare 2.2 Installation Manual.
BUILDING THE NOVELL NETWARE 2.2 SERVER FROM THE HARD DRIVE
1. Copy the NetWare 2.2 floppy diskettes to your computer's
hard drive, as described in the NetWare 2.2 manual.
2. Create a directory called LAN_DRV_.200. This directory must
be at the same level as the LAN_DRV_.001 directory. Copy
all .OBJ files that are in the root directory on the SMC
SuperDisk into the LAN_DRV.200 directory.
3. Copy the SMCNW286.LAN file from the root directory of the
SMC SuperDisk to the \SYSTEM-1 directory on your computer's
hard drive. If you are generating a router, also copy this
file to the \ROUTEGEN directory.
4. If you are generating a server, run INSTALL. If you are
generating a router, run ROUTEGEN. For more information,
refer to the NetWare 2.2 Installation Manual.
CONFIGURING 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. If none 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 CompuServe.
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.
