   Server Driver for NetWare 4.x
                                                                    v3.03


NetWare* 4.x Server Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter
=========================================================

Location of Driver:     \NWSERVER\EPRO.LAN


Sample Load Commands
--------------------
   
   LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
   BIND IPX TO EPRO NET=xxxxxxxx


General Installation
--------------------

If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and Play on
your adapter using SoftSet2 (Change Adapter Configuration, Advanced
Options menu). NetWare servers don't support Plug and Play (they don't
support a Configuration Manager). As a result, NetWare servers may not be
able to find your adapter if Plug and Play is enabled.

1  If you are performing a new installation of NetWare 4.x, configure the
   LAN adapter(s) using SoftSet2 and make note of the I/O address.
   During the installation of 4.x, you will be prompted for the LAN
   driver.  At that time insert the LAN adapter driver disk and complete
   the information NetWare 4.x requires. The NetWare 4.x installation
   program will automatically add these statements to your AUTOEXEC.NCF
   file.

2  We recommend you update the version of the following two NLMs to
   version 2.50 or later. Earlier versions may not work properly. These
   files can be obtained from Novell's online services.  See the Hints
   and Tips section for notes on contacting Novell.
      
      MSM.NLM       (11-23-94 v2.50)
      ETHERTSM.NLM  (11-29-94 v2.50)

   If you can log into the server, rename the existing copy of these
   files in the SYSTEM subdirectory, and copy the updates into the SYSTEM
   subdirectory.  If the adapter is the only one in the server, manually
   load these NLMs in the order listed above, specifying the c:\<path> to
   where they are located.

3  If you are adding the LAN adapter to an existing 4.x server, copy the
   LAN adapter driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the LAN adapter
   driver disk to the root directory of the hard drive of the server
   before bringing up the server.

4  Bring up the server, and at the server console issue the load and bind
   statement(s) as required. See the example above and substitute "xxx"
   with valid parameters for that adapter.

   PORT= refers to the I/O port address and NET= is the unique network
   address for that LAN segment. If you have workstations using the 802.3
   frame type, see below for using multiple frame types on one adapter.

5  Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's
   AUTOEXEC.NCF file so the EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 driver will load
   automatically each time the server starts up.


Hints and Tips
--------------

1  Installing multiple EtherExpress PRO/10 LAN adapters

   If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter
   must have a different network number and a different port number. You
   may also want to name each adapter for ease of management.

   Example:
      
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 NAME=LAN_A
      BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=320 NAME=LAN_B
      BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

2  Installing one EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter with multiple frame types

   When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a load and
   bind statement for each frame type.  Each load statement will use the
   same port number, but a different network number is required on the
   bind statement. You need to supply a name on each load line to avoid
   being prompted for which board to bind IPX to.

   If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not
   execute completely without user intervention.

   Example:
      
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
      BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
      BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888
