Novell NetWare version 4.11 Server Driver
==============================
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
==============================
1. Install NetWare 4.11.
Complete the software installation procedures for the NetWare 4.11
server. See the Novell documentation for installing NetWare.
2. Update the server with files from the Support Disk for HP J3239A.
NetWare 4.11 provides two different ways to load a new LAN driver.
One method is to copy the new file(s) onto the server and then
either load the driver by typing on the command line or edit
AUTOEXEC.NCF to load the driver. The other method is (1) to load
INSTALL.NLM and use it to select and load your new driver and
(2) to edit AUTOEXEC.NCF.
Manual Loading of Server Driver
===============================
1. Start the server. Load and bind the HP server driver.
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by a colon), load the driver:
load D:\hpeiod
bind ipx to hpeiod net=X
D is the path to the server driver.
X is the NetWare Network number you choose.
3. Add the load and bind statements to your server's AUTOEXEC.NCF
file, so that the adapter driver loads automatically each time
the server starts.
Using INSTALL.NLM
=================
1. At the NetWare prompt, load the INSTALL.NLM program.
2. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)" and [ENTER].
3. Press [INSERT] to specify other drivers to install.
4. Press [F3]. Enter the driver path, for example, "a:\netware"
5. Select the HPEIOD.LAN driver in your selection list to start the
driver loading and binding procedure.

Hints and Tips
==============
1. Installing multiple adapters:
If installing multiple adapters, each adapter must have a
different NET number and SLOT number. Also, it is a good idea to
name each adapter. Example:
load D:\hpeiod slot=3 name=LAN_A
bind ipx to LAN_A net=222
load D:\hpeiod slot=5 name=LAN_B
bind ipx to LAN_B net=333
2. Installing one 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 uses the same
SLOT number, but each BIND statement needs a unique network number.
NetWare 3.12 allows up to four different frame types, and the adapter
supports all four, as follows:
Ethernet_802.3
Ethernet_802.2
Ethernet_II
Ethernet_SNAP
