   Server Driver for NetWare 4.11
                                                                    v1.01


NetWare* 4.11 Server Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) 10 ISA LAN Adapter
==========================================================

Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\EX10.LAN


IMPORTANT: NetWare servers using the 3.30 specification NLMs require a
Plug and Play configuration manager to be loaded in order to configure
Plug and Play enabled ISA adapters.  If you don't use a Configuration
manager, you MUST DISABLE PLUG AND PLAY on the 10 ISA adapter. Use
EX10Set to disable Plug and Play on the adapter. From the main menu of
EX10Set, choose Change Adapter Configuration, Advanced Option Menu, and
set Plug and Play to Disabled. Also, note the I/O Address of the adapter.
This information will be needed later.


Sample Load Commands
--------------------
   
   If a Configuration Manager is loaded and Plug and Play is enabled on
   adapter:
   
   LOAD <path> EX10 SLOT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
   BIND IPX TO EX10 NET=xxxxxxxx
   
   Without a Configuration Manager and with Plug and Play disabled on
   adapter:
   
   LOAD C:\EX10 PORT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
   BIND IPX TO EX10 NET=xxxxxxxx


General Installation
--------------------

1  If you are performing a new installation of NetWare 4.11, configure
   the LAN adapter(s) using EX10Set and make note of the I/O address.
   During the installation of 4.11, you will be prompted for the LAN
   driver.  At that time insert the LAN adapter driver disk and complete
   the information NetWare 4.11 requires. The NetWare 4.11 installation
   program will automatically add these statements to your AUTOEXEC.NCF
   file.

2  We recommend you get the most recent updates of the NLMs listed below.
   Earlier versions may not work properly. These files can be obtained
   from Novell's on-line services.  See the Hints and Tips section for
   notes on contacting Novell.
      
      MSM.NLM
      ETHERTSM.NLM

3  Copy the 10 ISA server driver, and any updated NLMs, to the NetWare
   server's hard drive.

   If you can't log in to the server, then before starting the server,
   copy the EX10.LAN driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the Intel
   Configuration and Drivers disk to the server's hard drive. Also, copy
   any updated NLMs to the same directory.

   If you can log into the server, copy the driver and any updated NLMs
   to the SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify
   a path on the server's load line. If you copy it to another directory,
   make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

4  Bring up the server. At the server console issue the load and bind
   statement(s) as required. ETHERTSM and MSM will be autoloaded with the
   EX10.LAN driver. See the example above and substitute "xxx" with valid
   parameters for that adapter.

   PORT=x specifies the I/O address. Substitute x with the valid value
   for the adapter. You will be prompted with a valid port number if you
   don't specify a number.

   SLOT=x specifies the Plug and Play slot ID. Substitute x with the
   valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted with a valid slot
   number if you don't specify a number.

   NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment.

   The default frame type is 802.2.  If your workstation needs to use the
   802.3 frame type, see the section later in this document about using
   multiple frame types on one adapter.

5  Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF
   file so the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter driver will load automatically
   each time the server starts.


Hints and Tips
--------------

1  Installing multiple EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapters

   If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter
   must have a different network number and a different port number. You
   may also want to name each adapter for ease of management.

   Example:
      
      LOAD C:\EX10 PORT=300 NAME=LAN_A
      BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
      LOAD C:\EX10 PORT=320 NAME=LAN_B
      BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

2  Installing one EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter with multiple frame types

   When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a load and
   bind statement for each frame type.  Each load statement will use the
   same port number, but a different network number is required on the
   bind statement. You need to supply a name on each load line to avoid
   being prompted for which board to bind IPX to.

   If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not
   execute completely without user intervention.

   Example:
      
      LOAD C:\EX10 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
      BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
      LOAD C:\EX10 PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
      BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888
