When you do this, the computer will boot as a NetWare DOS ODI client.

This concludes the procedure for installing a single adapter in a NetWare DOS ODI client using the AutoLink feature.

Multiple EISA Adapters in a Client

You can install multiple EISA adapters when you initially set up your EISA computer, or you can add a second EISA adapter to a computer in which a single adapter was previously installed. In either case, you must run the EISA configuration program as an integral part of the EISA adapter installation procedure.

Use multiple adapters in a client only if you plan to run multiple protocols. For information on running multiple protocols, refer to the documentation accompanying your operating system.

Before proceeding, make sure you know the adapters’ slot numbers. Refer to the next section, “Finding the Adapter’s Slot Number.”

You must use the adapter’s slot number when installing one or more adapters in a client.You must use the adapter’s port address when installing one or more adapters in a server.
