3Com 155 PCI manual Netware Server Driver Installation

4-2 CHAPTER 4: NETWARE SERVER DRIVER INSTALLATION

Copying the driver from the ATMDisk diskette to the hard drive of the server is a standard NetWare driver installation operation, performed manually or by using the standard NetWare install utility. This guide documents the use of the NetWare install utility.

After the ATMLink NIC network driver (3C975.LAN) has been copied to the server system directory, the driver is modified with the NetWare install utility to configure the parameters of the first LEC. During this process the NIC can also be configured for resilient server links. When all the LEC parameters or resilient link parameters have been set, the installation program saves the parameters, loads the driver, and modifies the AUTOEXEC.NCF file by adding appropriate load and bind command lines.

To configure additional LECs, you must modify the same 3C975.LAN driver. Resilient server links and LECs can be configured manually by editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

Procedures for manually editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and for unloading network drivers are included at the end of this chapter.

NetWare 4.x supports up to 4 3C975 ATMLink NICs per system, with up to 16 LECs per NIC. NetWare 3.12 supports up to four NICs per system and one LEC per NIC.
