Installing and Configuring the NetWare Server Driver

Verifying the PCI Slot Number

To verify the PCI slot number in which a NIC is installed:

1Boot the NetWare server with the -na option.

This prevents the AUTOEXEC.NCF file from loading. For example, enter:

server -na

2Issue the load command for the NIC LAN driver without a slot parameter.

For example, enter:

load sys:\system\3C99X.lan

3NetWare lists the valid slot number(s) for the NIC, depending on how many NICs are installed. The values appearing in the list are the slot values that you should use.

Example:

After you issue the command, a message appears. At the end of the message, additional text similar to the following appears:

Total of 2 3C99x PCI adapter card(s) found. Supported slot values are 2,3.

Slot:2
