Table 3-2 summarizes the Load parameters that can be used with TLNKPODI.LAN. Detailed descriptions of the parameters begin after the table.

SLOT=<value> Required if there is more than one 3C359 NIC installed in the server; you will be prompted to supply a value if you do not enter one. This parameter specifies the slot number for the NIC. The slot number is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS.

There are two ways you can supply a slot number for the NIC:

■Enter a value when prompted by the server.

■Manually find the slot number by loading the driver as described later in this chapter in “Finding the Slot Number Manually.”

Regardless of the method you choose, you must supply a slot number for each 3C359 NIC installed in the server. Once you have noted the slot number of each NIC, you can include the Load and Bind commands in the server’s AUTOEXEC.NCF file so the driver will be automatically loaded when you start the SERVER program.

After a server driver has been loaded, you can view the configuration of each driver (including Load command parameters) using the CONFIG command from the server console command prompt.
