Server Driver

Installing the LAN driver is part of the NetWare installation process. Use the following instructions with those in the NetWare 386 installation manual to install the driver. You will need the SuperDisk during this procedure.

1.Use EZStart to copy the SMC driver to your hard drive. Refer to the EZStart instructions in Appendix C.

2.Refer to the “Load LAN driver module” section in the Novell NetWare 386 v4.x installation manual for instructions on installing NetWare.

3.Follow the instructions on starting NetWare and configuring the server. Use the “Load” command to load the LAN driver. If the LAN driver is not located in the default directory, specify the path to the file on the command line. The Load command will prompt you for configuration parameters if they are not supplied on the command line.

The Load command line parameters may be saved in an AUTOEXEC.NCF file, so they execute automatically every time the server starts. Refer to the NetWare 386 installation manual for information about how to create an AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

The following steps are specific to loading the SMCPWR2.LAN driver. For examples, please refer to the NetWare v4.x server driver installation document on the SMC SuperDisk.

4.To load the driver, type the following at the NetWare System Console:
