A.) NetWare 3.11 Server Driver Installation Procedure
=====================================================
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell
NetWare 386 V3.11 server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should
also be properly installed in your workstation.

 1. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive 'A' and check the contents of
    subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER.31X, It should contain the following files:

      MXICSERV.LAN  --  Novell NetWare 3.1X Server Driver.
      AUTOEXEC.NCF
      ETHERTSM.NLM
      LSLENH.NLM
      MONITOR.NLM
      MSM31X.NLM
      README.TXT
      NBI31X.NLM
      PATCHMAN.NLM

 2. Copy the above files from the Driver Diskette into the NetWare 386
    sub-directory of your server.

    C:\COPY A:\NETWARE\SERVER.31x\*.* C:\NWSERVER\*.*

 3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of NetWare messages
    on the screen.

    CD\NWSERVER
    C:>SERVER.EXE

 4. Before loading the server driver, you must load above those extension named
    NLM driver. You can refer to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in \NETWARE\SERVER.31X
    directory.

 5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears(indicated by a colon), load your
    server driver. Simply type:

    :LOAD [C:]\<PATHNAME>\MXICSERV FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 [Speed/Mode Type]
     <Enter>

    If you do not specify the speed/mode type, the default is Auto-Negotiation.

       Speed/Mode Types: 10HD       ...... Force to 10Mbps & Half Duplex.
                         10FD       ...... Force to 10Mbps & Full Duplex.
                         100HD      ...... Force to 100Mbps & Half Duplex.
                         100FD      ...... Force to 100Mbps & Full Duplex.
                         AUTOSENSE  ...... Force to Auto-Negotiation.

 6. Bind IPX to the adapter LAN driver. At the NetWare server prompt, type:

    :BIND IPX MXICSERV <Enter>

 7. After pressing <Enter>, the computer will prompt you for the Network Number.
    For details on how to assign this number, please check your NetWare 386
    Installation Manual.

C.) Motherboard Compatibility
==============================
This driver follows Novell ODI Driver Specification version 3.3, the NetWare
server version 3.1x and 4.10 must be patched to work with this driver. The
NetWare server 4.11 and above do not need to be patched. The patching method is
described as below:

 1. Copy LOADER.EXE and LSWAP.EXE files to the NetWare server directory.

 2. Execute LSWAP.EXE at DOS prompt from NetWare server directory.

    Usage: LSWAP.EXE [LoaderFilePath [ServerFilePath]]
          Default LoaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
          Default ServerFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE

 3. You will see a successfully patched message on the screen and get a new
    SERVER.EXE program in the Netware server directory.


D.) Installation Notes
======================

 1. If you are doing the PERFORM3 or ENDURANCE test program, you'd better add
    the followings in your AUTOEXEC.NCF of the server,

     Set Immediate Purge Of Deleted Files = ON
     Set Upgrade Low Priority Threads = ON

 2. You had better add the followings in the STARTUP.NCF:

     Set Reserved Buffers Below 16 Meg 200
     Set Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size = 1520
     Set Minimum Packet Receive Buffers = 150
