                       INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
                16-BIT NDIS 2.01 DRIVER FOR SUN PC-NFS WITH
                    HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN Adapter
 
 This document contains the information for installing the HP DeskDirect 
 10/100 PCI LAN Adapter with Sun's PC-NFS networking software.
 
 The HP NDIS 2.01 driver is self-configuring, which means the driver will
 automatically locate and read the HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN card's 
 configuration. Only the DRIVERNAME parameter needs to be present under the 
 [HPFEND] section in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
 
 The 16-bit NDIS driver is contained in the HP Support Disk NDIS2 directory:
 
         \NDIS2\HPFEND.DOS - 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver
 
 NOTE: Throughout these instructions, the term 'HP LAN Card' will be used to
       refer to the HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN Adapter.

 To install the HP LAN Card and its 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver with Sun PC-NFS,
 follow the instructions below:
 
 1.  Install the HP LAN Card, and optionally, run HPVGSET.
 
     Follow instructions in the 'Setting Up Your Card and LAN Connection'
     chapter of the Installation Guide.
 
 2.  Install the SUN PC-NFS software.
 
     Follow the installation guide manual provided with the SUN PC-NFS
     to install it on the computer.  As part of the installation procedure,
     direct the PC-NFS installation program to use a NDIS driver with PC-NFS.
 
 3.  Copy the NDIS 2.01 driver to the PC-NFS directory.
 
     Insert the Support Disk into floppy disk drive.  To copy the NDIS 2.01
     driver from the HP Support Disk to the directory where PC-NFS is
     installed the hard disk (e.g. C:\PCNFS), enter the following command
     at the DOS prompt:
 
         COPY A:\NDIS2\HPFEND.DOS C:\PCNFS
 
 4.  Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file with an ASCII text editor.
 
     Use the PROTOCOL.NFS file located in the directory where PC-NFS is
     installed as a template and reference to the example shown below to
     create a customized PROTOCOL.INI for the computer:
 
         [PROTMAN]
         ; Protocol manager
         drivername = PROTMAN$
 
         [NFS-NDIS]
         drivername = NFSLINK$
         bindings = HPFEND_NIF           <--- Add this line
 
         [HPFEND_NIF]                    <--- Add this line
         ; HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN Adapter    <--- Add this line
         DRIVERNAME = HPFEND$            <--- Add this line
         ; adaptertype = 3
	 ; adapterslot = 
         ; ioaddress = 
         ; memorymapbase = 
         ; maxhwtrans = 10
         ; maxswtrans = 2
         ; maxmulticast = 5
         ; maxicnest = 1
         ; priority = no
         ; usebootrom = no
         ; busmaster = yes
         ; netaddress = "080009010203"
 
     The PROTOCOL.INI file must include a section describing the LAN adapter
     (the HPFEND section) and a section describing each of the network
     products being run.  Each network product section (eg. NFS-NDIS) must
     include a BINDINGS statement.
 
     All the optional parameters have been commented out (using the ';'
     character) and are shown here only to illustrate the defaults.
     Only the DRIVERNAME parameter is mandatory. 
 
     NOTE: Refer to the PROTOCOL.TXT file in the \NDIS2 subdirectory on the
           HP Support disk for the definition of each PROTOCOL.INI parameter.
 
     NOTE: The file \PCNFS\PROTOCOL.HP is an example of the PROTOCOL.INI
           file for using HP LAN Card in the PC-NFS environment.
 
 5.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file with an ASCII text editor.
 
     The CONFIG.SYS file must be modified to contain the DEVICE statements
     that load the needed drivers (eg.  Protocol Manager, HP NDIS 2.01, and
     and PC-NFS protocols).  Add the following statements near the end of the
     CONFIG.SYS file:
 
         DEVICE = C:\PCNFS\PCNFS.SYS
         DEVICE = C:\PCNFS\SOCKDRV.SYS
         DEVICE = C:\PCNFS\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\PCNFS
         DEVICE = C:\PCNFS\HPFEND.DOS
         DEVICE = C:\PCNFS\NFS-NDIS.DOS
 
     NOTE:  This assumes that PC-NFS is installed in the C:\PCNFS directory.
 
     Please refer to the SUN PC-NFS Installation Guide manual for more
     information about how to customize the CONFIG.SYS file for the
     PC-NFS software.
 
     NOTE: The "/I:" parameter in the DEVICE statement for the PROTMAN file
           identifies the path to the PROTOCOL.INI file.
 
 6.  Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with an ASCII text editor.
 
     Before NFS mounts can be made, the PC-NFS software must be started.
     Add the following lines near the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
 
         SET PATH=C:\PCNFS;%PATH%
         SET NFSDRIVE=C
         C:\PCNFS\NETBIND
         PRT *
         NET INIT
 
     NOTE:  This assumes that PC-NFS is installed in the C:\PCNFS directory.
 
 7.  Reboot the computer.
 
     The changes made to the PROTOCOL.INI, CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT will
     not take effect until the computer is rebooted.  Reboot the computer
     in order to activate the SUN PC-NFS software.
 
 
 The installation of SUN PC-NFS is complete.
