Install Novell NetWare v3.12 operating system into your server station hard disk. 2. Copy all files in A:\NW3.12 directory of distribution diskette to C:\SERVER.312 directory of NetWare v3.12 server hard disk. For example, type, A:\ COPY A:\NW3.12\*.* C:\SERVER.312 3. Run SERVER.EXE on the NetWare v3.12 server station. 4. At the NetWare 386 prompt, type: : C:\SERVER.312\RL312.NCF This loads the following files, NBI31X.NLM, MSM31X, ETHERTSM, and RL2000 5. Next bind IPX to the server driver by typing: : BIND IPX RL2000 net=xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx can be 1 to 8 digits long in hexadecimal. 6. Server is now ready to service the workstations Update AUTOEXEC.NCF file to auto-load these file when the server starts.

Use any text editor like Notepad or DOS EDIT open the file AUTOEXEC.NCF Insert the following text after the line "IPX internet address= nnnnnnnn" e.g. IPX internet address = nnnnnnnn C:\SERVER.312\RL312.NCF <-- add line Bind IPX RL2000 net=xxxxxxxx <-- add line If you load manually, the modules should be loaded in this sequence; : Load NBI31X.NLM : Load MSM31X.NLM : Load ETHERTSM.NLM : Load RL2000.LAN : Bind IPX RL2000 net=xxxxxxxx ** NOTE ** Upon loading three NLM modules (MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM), if your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for NetWare server this error message will show, " This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access. Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail" With RL2000 driver, just ignore the message. RL2000 driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server. To support protected mode BIOS access, run the Novell Loader patch. You can get the patch software from any NetWare distributors and dealers. Or connect to Novell WEB server to get a copy. The patch can also be found in Compex BBS, FTP, and WEB server.
