Novell NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation
=============================================
Installing the Ethernet drivers into a server computer outlined below.
Preparation
===========
Before you start with the driver installation process to the server ,
make sure you have the following on hand:
1) 16-bit 100/10M Fast Ethernet PC card
2) Driver diskette
Installation Procedure
======================
Installation of the Ethernet driver to a server is broken down into
two parts:
1) Hardware Installation (changes existing setting of the adapter)
2) Software Installation (copying appropriate driver to the server)
Hardware Install
================
Installing the PCMCIA Adapter into a server is the same with the
installation of workstation. You just setup the hardware configuration
by software for Card Enabler program, and record the final setting values.
Software Install
================
1) Login to the server as the "Supervisor" user.
2) Copy the server driver supplied in this PCMCIA Software diskette's
\NETWARE\SERVER\ subdirectory into the server's SYS:SYSTEM
directory.
3) Use the LOAD command from the System Console to load the FASTPCM.LAN
file into the server's memory. Normally, the driver would load from
SYS:SYSTEM directory of NetWare partition , but it could optionally
be loaded from a floppy disk or a directory on a DOS partition of
the server's hard disk instead.
A typical command line to load the server driver is:
LOAD FASTPCM.LAN PORT=300 INT=5
The LOAD line options may be entered in any sequence and the commas
in between them are optional, as are most of the options themselves.
However , the PORT and INT options MUST be included and they MUST
equal the physical hardware settings.
Following are the parameters that may be included in the LOAD line:
PORT : The Base I/O Address at which the PCMCIA hardware has been set.
A drive denominator may be added to the port address in order
to specify a driver location other than the SYS:SYSTEM
directory of the NetWare Partition. For example:
... PORT=300 ... <ÄÄÄÄ Load driver from SYS:SYSTEM (default)
INT : This is the interrupt level (IRQ) that the adapter has been
configured to use.
4) You may optionally wish to put the LOAD line in the STARTUP.NCF or
AUTOEXEC.NCF auto-load driver files so that the LOAD statement will
take effect when the server system is initialized.
Closing Notes
1) Appendix "E" of the Novell NetWare 386 Installation Guide provides
more information about the usage of NET.CFG files.
2) Before you running any ODI drivers, you have to enable the PC Card
by running en190.exe

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
