Section 1 INSTALLING THE NETWARE 3/4 ODI SERVER DRIVER ON NETWARE 3.12 ------------------------------------------------------------ You can install and use the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on NetWare 3.12 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 3.12 file server, perform the following steps: I. Verify that the network interface card (NIC) is properly configured and installed. Refer to the adapter's user guide 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. A. To copy the files to a DOS partition, enter the following commands: 1. If installing on NetWare 3.12: COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\DE450.LAN C:\ COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\ COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_12\NLM312.EXE C:\ To extract additional required NLMs: C:\> NLM312.EXE You may substitute C:\ with another DOS partition and subdirectory. Running NLM312.EXE will extract MSM31X.NLM and NBI31X.NLM. 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 NetWare 3.12: COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\DE450.LAN COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_12\NLM312.EXE To extract additional required NLMs: NLM312.EXE Running NLM312.EXE will extract MSM31X.NLM and NBI31X.NLM. 4. Enter "exit" to log out of the session then press any key to return to the System Console prompt. III. Perform substeps IIIA. and IIIB. to configure the NetWare 3.12 server to use the Digital EtherWORKS PCI server driver. A. With the NetWare 3.12 server running, edit the STARTUP.NCF file using the INSTALL Program. 1. From the System Console, load INSTALL: :LOAD INSTALL 2. Select "System Options." 3. Select "Edit STARTUP.NCF file." 4. Add the following SET parameter to set the proper packet size. set maximum physical receive packet size = 1520 5. Save the file with the changes. Answer "Yes" to the exit prompt. B. 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. 1. While still in the INSTALL program, select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file." Add the following lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF to automatically load and bind the new driver every time the server is brought up: NOTE The "slot" "frame," and "net" values given below are examples. The slot number is the location of the controller in the PCI system. If there is only one adapter installed, use the suggested value for this parameter. The frame type is one of the four supported frame types "ETHERNET_802.2", "ETHERNET_II", "ETHERNET_SNAP", or "ETHERNET_802.3" frame types. 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:\DE450 slot=1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2 BIND IPX TO DE450 net=00000001 b. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.12 using Step IIB3a., enter the following commands: LOAD DE450 slot=1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2 BIND IPX TO DE450 net=00000001 A drive path is not included for the load statements in the second example. This is because the DE450.LAN driver files are copied to the SYS:SYSTEM directory, which is the NetWare 3.12 default server path. Loading DE450.LAN auto-loads ETHERTSM.NLM which in turn auto-loads MSM31X.NLM and NBI31X.NLM. This allows for fewer load statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and less opportunity for driver load errors. c. 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. V. Follow the instructions the adapter's user guide for connecting the controller to the network. VI. Restart the server. Enter the following command at the DOS prompt: SERVER The changes made to the STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files in step III above take effect.Download Driver Pack
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.
