Section 1  INSTALLING THE NETWARE 3/4 ODI SERVER DRIVER ON NETWARE 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can install and use the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on NetWare
3 file servers by loading some operating system patches and driver
support files in addition to the driver.

To install the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on a NetWare 3 file
server, perform the following six steps:

I.   Verify that the network interface card (NIC) is properly configured
     and installed.  Refer to "DEC EtherWORKS 3 Installation" for
     instructions.

II.  Copy the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver files to either a DOS
     partition (Step IIA.) or a NetWare partition (Step IIB.) of your 
     NetWare server hard disk.

				     NOTE
	   The LSLENH.NLM patch should only be installed and loaded on
	   NetWare 3.11 servers.  NetWare 3.12 does not require this
	   patch.

     A. To copy the files to a DOS partition, enter the following commands:

	1. If installing on either NetWare 3.11 or NetWare 3.12:

	      COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\EWRK3.LAN C:\
	      COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\
	      COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\MSM31X.NLM C:\

	2. If installing on NetWare 3.11 only, copy the following additional
	   files:
	      
	      COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\LSLENH.NLM C:\
	      COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\PATCHMAN.NLM C:\
	
	You may substitute C:\ with another DOS partition and 
	subdirectory.

     B. To copy the files to a NetWare partition, you need to use the
	NetWare 3.x Command Processor (NWSHELL).  Contact Novell for
	information on acquiring NWSHELL.NLM.  Once you have NWSHELL.NLM,
	perform the following steps to copy the files:

	1. Load the NetWare 3.x Command Processor (NWSHELL.NLM) by
	   entering the following command at the server System Console 
	   prompt:
	   
	      :LOAD NWSHELL

	2. Change to the SYS:SYSTEM directory by entering the following
	   command:

	      CD SYS:SYSTEM

	3. Copy the driver files to the current directory by entering
	   the following commands:

	   a. If installing on either NetWare 3.11 or NetWare 3.12:

		 COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\EWRK3.LAN
		 COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM
		 COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\MSM31X.NLM

	   b. If installing on NetWare 3.11 only, copy the following 
	      additional files:
	      
		 COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\LSLENH.NLM
		 COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_X\PATCHMAN.NLM
	
	4. Enter "exit" to log out of the session then press any key to 
	   return to the System Console prompt.
				     
III. You can automatically load the server driver by adding the 
     appropriate instructions to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.  You can also
     issue these commands directly from the System Console.

     A. With the NetWare 3 server running, edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
	using the INSTALL Program. 
	 
	1. From the System Console, load INSTALL:

	      :LOAD INSTALL

	2. Select "System Options."
	 
	3. Select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file."
    
				     NOTE
	   The "port," "frame," and "net" values given below are examples. 
	   The port number is the I/O port where the EtherWORKS 3 was
	   configured during NICSETUP. The frame type is one (or more) of 
	   the supported Ethernet frame types:  "ETHERNET_802.2",
	   "ETHERNET_SNAP, "ETHERNET_802.3", "ETHERNET_II". The net address 
	   is the external network address.  Refer to the Novell NetWare 
	   documentation on "Bind" for more information.
	   
	   a. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.12 using
	      Step IIA1., enter the following commands:

		 LOAD C:\EWRK3 port=300 frame=ETHERNET_II
		 BIND IPX TO EWRK3 net=00000001

	   b. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.11 using
	      Steps IIA1. and IIA2., enter the following commands:

		 LOAD C:\LSLENH
		 LOAD C:\EWRK3 port=300 frame=ETHERNET_II
		 BIND IPX TO EWRK3 net=00000001

	   c. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.12 using
	      Step IIB3a., enter the following commands:

		 LOAD EWRK3 port=300 frame=ETHERNET_II
		 BIND IPX TO EWRK3 net=00000001

	   d. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.11 using
	      Steps IIB3a. and IIB3b., enter the following commands:

		 LOAD LSLENH
		 LOAD EWRK3 port=300 frame=ETHERNET_II
		 BIND IPX TO EWRK3 net=00000001

	   A drive path is not included for the load statements in the 
	   third and fourth examples.  This is because the EWRK3.LAN driver 
	   files are copied to the SYS:SYSTEM directory, which is the 
	   NetWare 3 default server path.
       
	   In the above examples, note that LSLENH.NLM is only loaded
	   under NetWare 3.11.  Also, note that PATCHMAN.NLM is auto-loaded
	   when loading LSLENH.NLM.  Similarly, loading EWRK3.LAN auto-loads
	   ETHERTSM.NLM which in turn auto-loads MSM31X.NLM.  This allows
	   for fewer load statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and less 
	   opportunity for driver load errors.

				     NOTE
	   Before saving the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it is important to verify
	   that no older NetWare 3 server drivers are loaded prior to loading
	   LSLENH.NLM and/or MSM31X.NLM.  Even though older NetWare 3
	   server drivers do not require the LSLENH patch or MSM31X, 
	   unexpected behavior may result if LSLENH or MSM31X are loaded 
	   after the driver.  If using both older NetWare 3 and newer NetWare
	   3/4 server drivers, be sure to load LSLENH.NLM and MSM31X.NLM
	   separately before loading any drivers.

	   e. Save the file with the changes.  Answer "Yes" to the exit 
	      prompt.

IV.  Shut down the server by entering "DOWN" at the system console and
     then enter "EXIT" to return to the DOS prompt.

VI.  Restart the server with the DEC EtherWORKS 3 server driver.

     Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

	SERVER

     The changes made to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in step III will now take 
     effect.
