6Novell NetWare Driver Setup
Installing Novell NetWare Server 5.1
Be sure that the server has the latest support pack available installed. The latest support packs can be found at:
http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.
You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the CDROM\NetWare\Driver directory onto a floppy disk. If you choose to use the CD directly, ensure that the CDROM.NLM is loaded and that you are aware of the NetWare Volume name for the CD that you just installed.
1When prompted for the network boards, select the field and then press Enter.
2Press Insert to specify a NIC.
3Press Insert to specify an unlisted NIC.
4Press Enter if the drivers are contained on a floppy disk, or press F3 and enter a different path.
5Press Enter to select the NIC.
6Select Modify Driver Properties to configure the NIC’s options, or choose Return to Driver Summary.
7If necessary, select additional NICs and repeat steps 5 through 7.
8After you are finished configuring the NICs, select Continue Installation.
9Restart the server for the new configuration to take effect.
NOTE: The server must be restarted for the new configuration.
Verifying or Modifying NIC Parameters
When a NIC configuration is saved, the NetWare install program adds load and bind statements to the autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this file, you can verify the parameters configured for each NIC, modify them, or enter additional parameters.
NOTE: The Novell monitor program and the config command are also useful for verifying driver configuration. For information on how to use these programs, see the Utilities Reference in your Novell NetWare online documentation.
The parameters that can be defined in the load statements are described in the table in “Installing Novell NetWare Server 4.2” on page 51. A valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. One set of load and bind commands (in bold) is shown for each frame type the NIC is configured to support.
