NETWARE 4.x SERVER DRIVER INSTALLATION ======================================= Three sections are covered in this document: 1.INTRODUCTION 2.DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION 3.DRIVER INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION ============ This documentation covers the information for installing the NetWare Server drivers for the Fast Ethernet PCI adapters and the operating modes respectively: Driver location and file name : \NW4X\RTSSRV.LAN DRIVER PARAMETER DEFINITION =========================== DRIVER : RTSSRV.LAN ADAPTER : KF-230TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Parameter Description Valid Values and Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUSNO NN where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus which connects to the adapter. DEVICENO NN where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device identification number of the specified PCI adapter. BUSNO 0 DEVICENO 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SLOT Specify the adapter slot number ; 1 is First board in a PCI computer instance If only one adapter with one frame type is installed, it is not necessary to specify this option. The driver will search the adapter automatically. If multiple adapters are installed, the driver needs this option to identify a specific adapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED Specify the connector 100, 10 to be used. SPEED=100 : specify 100Mbps connector SPEED=10 : specify 10Mbps connector If SPEED are absent at the same time, the driver will auto detect the line speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRAME Packet Frame type FRAME=Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_802.3 Ethernet_SNAP If not specified, the driver uses Ethernet_802.2 as default. =============================================================================== Note : All parameter names and values are caps insensitive. DRIVER INSTALLATION =================== 1. USE "LOAD INSTALL" COMMAND. Netware 4.x supports loading LAN drivers via server INSTALL program interactively. This loading method needs a *.LDI file together with the driver file. The directory \NW4X of the driver diskette has been properly prepared with the server drivers *.LAN files and *.LDI files for the driver installation. Make sure the PCI adapter has been installed in your server and the cable connection to an active hub has been established before you start the installation. Follow these procedures: (1) Execute the command under Netware console prompt: :load install <enter> (2) Select "LAN Driver Options" from the "Installation Options" window. (3) A list of LAN drivers shows up. (4) Press <Ins> hot key to load a LAN driver not listed. (5) Press <F3> to enter a directory path for the unlisted LAN drivers. (6) Insert this adapter driver diskette into disk drive A:. (7) Enter the directory path as "A:\NW4X". (8) Two drivers together with four adapter types are listed as below: RTSSRV.LAN KF-230TX Fast Ethernet driver (9) Each selection in the rest of the procedures provides a "help" message window to aid in the installation process. (10) The major purpose of this installation is to help you to compose a command line for loading a specific LAN driver with proper parameters in a user-friendly manner. All selections for the driver parameters have provided sufficient help messages. Please follow the on-screen instruction to complete your installation. 2. USING "LOAD RTSSRV ..." COMMAND You may load the server driver directly under Netware console prompt. However, make sure you have copied all drivers and the required NLM files from the driver diskette into your proper directory in the server before loading the driver. To load RTSSRV.LAN driver, follow the commands as below: :load rtssrv [parameter=value] .....[parameter=value] Examples: * Single adapter running 100Mbps operation using frame Ethernet_802.2 command: load rtssrv speed=100 * Single adapter supporting multiple frame types load rtssrv speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e1 load rtssrv speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2 load rtssrv speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3 load rtssrv speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap name=e4 bind ipx to e1 net=10 bind ipx to e2 net=20 bind ipx to e3 net=30 bind ipx to e4 net=40 * Multiple adapters, multiple frame types load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e1 load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e2 load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e3 load rtssrv SLOT=1 speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap name=e4 bind ipx to e1 net=10 bind ipx to e2 net=20 bind ipx to e3 net=30 bind ipx to e4 net=40 load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_ii name=e5 load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=e6 load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=e7 load rtssrv SLOT=2 speed=100 frame=ethernet_snap name=e8 bind ipx to e5 net=50 bind ipx to e6 net=60 bind ipx to e7 net=70 bind ipx to e8 net=80Download 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.
