Novell NetWare Server 3.12
--------------------------

For a NetWare 3.12 server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 3.12 ODI
driver which is included on the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette.

Note:
-----
The directory structure provided on the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette has
been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information can be found
in the Novell NetWare 3.12 documentation.

Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 3.12 ODI server driver
as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the Novell
NetWare 3.12 LAN Driver Installation documentation.

There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 3.12 driver:
1) use the server command line prompt (":") or 2) edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.

Note:
-----
If you use the server command line, you will need to load the driver each time
the system is booted. If you edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it will automatically
load the driver each time your system is booted.

Follow the steps listed below:

1       Install NetWare 3.12 on your system.

2       Copy the ODI Server driver (W30ODI.LAN) and relative file (MSM31X.NLM
        ETHERTSM.NLM) from the PCI Ethernet Card driver diskette to the hard 
        disk directory where the NetWare 3.12 system files are located. The 
        following path should be used to access the files from the PCI Ethernet 
        Card driver diskette:

                A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\W30ODI.LAN
		A:\SERVER.ODI\MSM31X.LAN
		A:\SERVER.ODI\ETHERTSM.LAN

3       Boot NetWare by executing (SERVER.EXE). Refer to the appropriate
        Novell NetWare documentation on loading disk drivers and mounting
        volumes for more information.

4       To load the driver manually, follow the steps listed below. If you
        want to load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), go to step 5.

        Notes:
        1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in
           a DOS partition.

        Type the following command at the file server console (which also
        changes the default settings for PCI Ethernet Card):

                LOAD W30ODI


        Next, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing:

                BIND IPX TO W30ODI NET=xxxx
                (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234)

        Then press <Enter>.

        The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete.


5       To load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), you must first edit the
        (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.

        * Type "LOAD INSTALL" at the server prompt (":") to access the Install
          Utility.

        * Open the "SYSTEM OPTIONS" menu to access "EDIT AUTOEXEC".

        * Then add the following command lines to the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.


        An example with the PCI Ethernet Card:

                LOAD W30ODI FRAME=Ethernet_802.2

                BIND IPX TO W30ODI NET=xxxx
                (Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234)

                You can load 4 frame type protocol at a time when the server is
                booted. To use this option you must load and bind another
                frame type protocol( Ethernet_802.3,Ethernet_II,Ethernet_SNAP ).

Loading Multiple PCI Ethernet Cards
-----------------------------------

The driver must be loaded again for each new PCI Ethernet Card
installed in the system.

If more than one adapter card will be installed, use EZPCI.EXE to identify
the Board's I/O Base Address for each card. For example, to load
two PCI Ethernet Cards:

        LOAD W30ODI

        Supported I/O port values are : E800, 4000        

        Now you can select I/O Base Address for the PCI Ethernet card that 
	you prefer to load.

Then press <Enter>.

        The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete.

        Notes:
        ------
        1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in
           a DOS partition.

        2) If you want to use two or more PCI Ethernet Cards on your NetWare
           server.please run the configuration utility(EZPCI.EXE) to view crad's
           I/O Base Address setting first.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
