Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter
----------------------------------------------
Driver Installation for Novell NetWare Server version 5.0
---------------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
---------------
The following instructions use the PCI Adapter as an example.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Boot up the Novell Server.
Upon power up, NetWare indicates that new hardware is found but
the system is unable to find a matching driver:
PCI Lan Controller 10EC.8139.1385.USR79.00
2. Press <Enter> for a list of drivers to install.
3. Press <Ins> to install an unlisted driver.
The USR79 adapter driver is not included in the NetWare 5.0 release
CD.
4. Press <F3> to specify a different path.
5. In the Specify a directory path window, provide the path where the
USR79.LAN driver resides and hit Enter.
eg. D:\Netware\SERVER\NW50
6. Select "USR79.LAN" to start the installation procedure.
7. Select "Yes" when asked if you want to copy driver USR79.LAN.
8. Choose the "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols" selection
and move the cursor to the USR79_1 parameters window to change the
the slot number.
A slot number must be entered before the installation can proceed.
You can make the slot number 1. Even though the slot number may
not be correct, the USR79.LAN driver automatically find the USR79
card and load the proper slot number.
You do not have to enter any value for media and line speed or the
Node address. The driver can use the default value for these
9. Choose "Save parameters and load driver" to start the driver loading
process.
NetWare starts examining network for IPX external network numbers.
10. Hit <Enter> when a Network number is provided to bind IPX to the
USR79_1 adapter card (frame Ethernet_802.2).
11. Hit <Enter> when a Network number is provided to bind IPX to the
USR79_1 adapter card (frame Ethernet_SNAP).
12. Hit Enter when a Network number is provided to bind IPX to the
USR79_1 adapter card (frame Ethernet_II).
13. Hit Enter when a Network number is provided to bind IPX to the
USR79_1 adapter card (frame Ethernet_802.3).
All four supported Ethernet frame types are loaded.
14. Select "No" when asked if you want to select an additional Network
driver.
15. Select "Return to the previous menu" in the Additional Driver Actions
window.
16. Hit <Esc> a number of times to exit to the NetWare Configuration main
menu. Select "Yes" when asked if you want to exit INSTALL.
17. When existing to the main, the driver is already loaded for the
adapter card.
Manually modifying Software on an existing NetWare 5.0 Server
-------------------------------------------------------------
The following instructions use the PCI adapter as an example.
1. Copy the USR79.LAN file into the subdirectory of your server.
For example:
> COPY D:\NETWARE\SERVER\NW50\USR79.LAN C:\NWSERVER
2. Run SERVER.EXE on the server.
3. At the NetWare prompt, enter "load nwconfig" to edit the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
4. In the Configuration Options menu, select "NCF files Options".
5. In the Available NCF Files Options, select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file>.
6. Modify the server AUTOEXEC.NCF file as follows:
load C:\Netware\USR79.LAN frame=Ethernet_yyyy name=USR79_1_zzz
;zzz is a unique 3-digit number
; for every frame type loaded.
;yyyy is the Ethernet frame type.
bind ipx USR79_1_zzz net=xxxx ;xxxx is the network number (eg. 33)
7. Press the <Esc> key when done editing. Select "Yes" to save.
8. Select "Exit" to exit NetWare Configuration.
9. Reboot the server system. The driver is now installed.
