Installation During Novell OS Installation

Installing the Driver in Novell NetWare Server 6.5

Before you begin, make sure that:

•The NIC is installed in the server.

•The latest support pack files are installed. The latest support packs can be found at: http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.

To obtain the latest support pack files, go to the Novell support Web site and select the Minimum Patch List option in the navigation bar. Scroll down the page and select and download the latest support pack or patch file(s) for the operating system running on your server.

There are two methods for installing the driver:

•Installation during the Novell operating system installation.

•Installation when Novell is already installed.

NOTE: If you are installing NetWare 5.x or 6.x for the first time, you need to install the NIC driver during the operating system installation procedure.

Installation During Novell OS Installation

You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the CD ROM NetWare Server (nwserver) directory onto a floppy disk. If you choose to use the CD directly, make sure that the CDROM.NLM file is loaded and that you are aware of the NetWare Volume name for the CD that you just installed.

1During the operating system installation, NetWare attempts to load the built-in driver for the NIC. The following message appears: “The following driver instance failed to load and will be deleted.” Select Yes to return to the summary screen.

2Select the network field.

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 NIC options, or choose Return to Driver Summary.

Installation with Novell Already Installed

Be sure that the server has the latest support pack available installed. The latest support pack can be found at: http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm

1Insert the NIC into a PCI slot.

2Boot the computer.

During boot time, the operating system tries to automatically detect the NIC.

4Press Enter.

5Select the network board option.
