Novell NetWare Server 3.11 -------------------------- For a NetWare 3.11 server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 3.11 ODI driver which is included on the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette. Note: ----- The directory structure provided on the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information can be found in the Novell NetWare 3.11 documentation. Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 3.11 ODI server driver as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the Novell NetWare 3.11 LAN Driver Installation documentation. There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 3.11 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 3.11 on your system. 2 Copy the ODI Server driver (W30ODI.LAN) and relative files from the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette to the hard disk directory where the NetWare 3.11 system files are located. The following path should be used to access the files from the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette: A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\W30ODI.LAN A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\PATCHMAN.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\LSLENH.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\MSM31X.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\ETHERTSM.NLM A:\SERVER.ODI\3.11\MONITOR.NLM 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 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 (which also changes the default settings for PCI Ethernet Card): LOAD LSLENH LOAD MSM31X LOAD W30ODI Next, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing: BIND IPX TO W30ODI NET=xxxx (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234) Then press . The installation of the NetWare Server 3.11 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 Ethernet Card: LOAD W30ODI FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 BIND IPX TO W30ODI 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 Ethernet Cards ----------------------------------- The driver must be loaded again for each new PCI Ethernet Card installed in the system. If more than one adapter card will be installed, use EZPCI.EXE to identify the Board's I/O Base Address for each card. For example, to load two PCI Ethernet Cards: LOAD W30ODI Supported I/O port value are : D000, E8000 Now you can select I/O Base Address for the PCI Ethernet Card that you prefer to load. Then press . The installation of the NetWare Server 3.11 driver is now complete. Notes: ------ 1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in a DOS partition. 2) If you want to use two or more PCI Ethernet Cards on your NetWare server.please run the configuration utility(EZPCI.EXE) to view crad's I/O Base Address setting first. -------------------------------------[END]--------------------------------------
