1.   Things You Need

          Before you start with  the installation  process  make
          sure you have the following :

          a)   Accton Hardware Driver Disk
          b)   Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette.

       After boot your workstation, type following comments on the console:

                LSL         <Enter>
                NWMLID      <Enter>
                IPXODI      <Enter>

                NETx        <Enter>       ----------- Dos Shell for NewWare
                                                      V3.11
                   or

                VLM         <Enter>       ----------- Dos Requster for NetWare
                                                      v4.0  and  backward
                                                      compatible.

       then,you can log in to the file server.

       If NIC driver, NWMLID executed successfully, it would inform you
       the adapter mode and related configurations. Otherwise you would
       see some error messages telling you by what reason the driver did
       not reside. You can specify the problem and correct it easily.

Here is the list of error messages the driver may display and correction
method we suggested:

       "The board cannot be found."
       The adapter does not exist or driver does not recognize the adapter.
Correction: Plug Accton adapter into your PC bus slot.

       "Board RAM failed the memory test."
       The RAM buffer on the adapter failed.
Correction: Change a new adapter to run driver again.

       "The board did not respond to the initialization command."
       The driver recognized the adapter but the adapter fail to respond.
Correction: Change a new adapter to run driver again.

       "There is no cable connecting to adapter."
       There is no cable connecting to adapter or the transceiver within
       adapter is failed.
Correction: Connect the cable to adapter and run driver again.

       Normally,  you will not need a NET.CFG file because the  established
       defaults should be adequate for your network. Besides, the automatic
       configuration property can eliminate the necessity of NET.CFG.

       Note: ODI driver is always parsing your NET.CFG file first. If the
             related  adapter's configuration  parameters is found, they
             will be  recognized  as  preferred setting, even thought it
             conflicts with parameters store in EEPROM of adapter. Thus
             it will fail to initialize the adapter.
             Bellow is a sample NET.CFG file:

                LINK DRIVER NWMLID
                    INT   2
                    PORT  2020
                    SLOT  3
                       :
                       :

       You can see NetWare 386 Installation appendix E for  more information
       about NET.CFG.

       Novell has already changed the Ethernet  default frame type to 802.2
       starting with the release of NetWare v4.0. The move has to be made to
       enable it to better support future protocol  and networking features.
       Some of these features are IPX with checksum,  security enhancements,
       and  protocol independence. Following this change,  the default frame
       type of  DOS ODI  driver is Ethernet 802.2 when there  is no protocol
       binding in NET.CFG file.  At this situation  if  your server  is not
       NetWare v4.0, please make sure the Ethernet 802.2 frame type has been
       bound already before logging in it.

1.   Things You Need

          Before you start with  the installation  process  make
          sure you have the following :

          a.   Accton Driver Diskette
          b.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION SERVICES REQUESTER diskette.
          c.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 1
          d.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 2
          e.   Novell NetWare OS/2 WORKSTATION OS/2 Utility - 3

2.   How To Install

          You need 1 file to acquire network service after installing OS/2
          Requester and Utilities.

          a. OS2MLID.SYS        ---- supported by Accton

       The directory OS2ODI contains only an OS/2 driver,(OS2MLID.SYS). This
       driver must  be  usedwith  the   OS/2   requester   to   establish
       networking  operations. Make sure  that the workstation on  which  you
       want  to  install  the Requester  is  a  286  or  386 machine  that
       will run  OS/2 or  Extended  Edition  OS/2.  Please  consult 'Novell
       NetWare  Requester  for  OS/2' for  detailed  Requester and Utilities
       installation guide. After installation, the only thing you need to do
       is  to copy  OS2MLID.SYS  to NETWARE subdirectory and add or replace
       OS2MLID.SYS  before IPX.SYS  in CONFIG.SYS. Such  that those commands
       sequence following will appear in your config.sys file.

       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\DDAEMON.SYS             ; OS/2 Requester supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\OS2MLID.SYS             ; Accton supported
       DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\IPX.SYS          ; OS/2 Requester supported

       Reboot your system to get service of network.

       Note: There is a  suggestion  provided  by  Accton  Designers of this
             driver to guarantee it work  properly.  We  suggest  that  frame
             type  which  you want to bind to IPX protocol will be specified
             by  'FRAME' command in  the  first line  among  those  supported
             frame types. Such a NET.CFG file is as below:

                       Link Driver OS2MLID

                         frame Ethernet_802.3
                         frame Ethernet_802.2
                         frame Ethernet_II
                         frame Ethernet_snap

                         protocol IPX 00 Ethernet_802.3

              For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare
              Workstation for DOS", "ODI for DOS User's Guide" or "NetWare
              Requester for OS/2".

1.   Things You Need

Before you start with the installation process make sure you have
the following :

     a.    Accton Driver Diskette
     b.    Novell NetWare Version 4.0  System Diskettes or CD ROM

2.   How To Install O.S. Driver

     a.    Insert  the Accton Driver Diskette into drive A
          and check the contents of subdirectory  \NETWARE\V400
          It should contain the following file :

            ACC40.LANÄÄÄ  Novell NetWare V4.0 Server Driver

     b.    Copy  the contents of the Novell NetWare  Version 4.0
          from System Diskette or  CD  ROM  into your  NetWare
          server  station  hard  disk.  Please  refer to  your
          Novell NetWare Installation Manual for details.

     c.    Copy  the  ACC40.LAN file from the Hardware Driver Disk
          into the NetWare server station hard disk.

     d.    Run SERVER.EXE on the server station.  Several NetWare
          messages will be shown on-screen.

     e.    At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run
          INSTALL.NLM program, type :

                  server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

          Select  'Maintenance/Selective Install' <Enter>

          And then select 'LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)' <Enter>

          After that you will see ACC40.LAN appear as an item under
          'Select a LAN Driver' menu. Select it to start the driver
          loading and binding procedure.

          Follow  the  instructions to  select  the  appropriate
          adapter  configuration,  Allowable  values  for  these
          parameters  will  also be shown on-screen.   When  you
          load the driver program, your screen will display  the
          following messages :

          Loading module ACC40.LAN
          Supported  slot value are : 2
          Slot:2

          If  problems  occur during the binding  process,  your
          screen  will prompt you with error  messages.   Please
          refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on  these
          messages.   The LAN driver installation  is completed
          when you see the following message on-screen :

      IPX  LAN protocol  bound to  Accton  MPX Driver vx.xxRxx (yymmdd).

       Note 1: The  architecture  of  V.40   driver  is different
             with  V3.11.    You   should   load   MSM.NLM   and
             ETHERTSM.NLM  modules  separately  before   loading
             ACC40.LAN.  When loading  ACC40.LAN, it will check
             whether these two  modules  have been  loaded,  if
             not, it  will  load  them  automatically.  So after
             ACC40.LAN  is loaded, if you type 'MODULES' command
             under  prompt,  you  will see   two   extra modules
             MSM.NLM  and ETHERTSM.NLM  were loaded also.

       Note 2: The  default  frame  type   ACC40.LAN   binding  is
             Ethernet_802.2  not  Ethernet_802.3.  This  is  the
             difference between V3.11 and V4.0 driver. ACC40.LAN
             will support NetWare V3.11  environment  also.  But
             you must load some patch NLMs  before  loading it.
             Under this circumstance, there are some unpredictable
             faults.  So  we  do  not suggest this  solution.
