I. Special Considerations
II. Installing the AT-2450 NetWare 3 ODI driver
I. Special Considerations
==========================
From a DOS prompt, run the SETUP24 utility if necessary to
manually view the card's configuration, or to configure the
media or duplex modeor to run Diagnostics. See manual for
details.
To de-install the driver, bring up NetWare and follow the
Novell instructions.
II. Installing the AT-2450 NetWare 3 ODI driver
=================================================
NOTE: The 3.12 version of NetWare requires a patch -
312PTn.EXE - and driver/NLM update - LANDRn.EXE -
(where n = current alphanumeric revision level of the
file) from Novell's web site. The URL is:
http://support.novell.com.
1. Install the NetWare file server support files to the DOS
partition as described in the Novell documentation.
2. Copy the AT2450.LAN file from the NWSERVER directory
on the CardAssistant disk to the directory where the
Novell server files are located, i.e. C:\SERVER.312.
3. Load SERVER.EXE to start the file server, and set up
hard disk support as directed in the Novell
documentation.
4. To load the LAN driver, type LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\AT2450,
where <DRIVE> and <PATH> are the drive and directory
where you copied the AT2450.LAN file.
Note: The default frame type for Novell file servers is now
Ethernet_802.2. If you require Ethernet_802.3,
specify FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 on the command line when
loading the driver.
To load multiple frame types for a single card, the
command line option BOARD = n should be added,
where n is the arbitrary board number, e.g., 1 or 2,
etc.
Example:
LOAD C:\SERVER.312\AT2450 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 BOARD=1
Also: If you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add
BUSTYPE=PCI1 to the command line, i.e.
LOAD C:\SERVER.312\AT2450 BUSTYPE=PCI1.
Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you
don't know which bus you have, try loading without
the option. If it loads, you don't need it.
5. Bind the IPX protocol to the AT-2450 driver by typing:
BIND IPX AT2450 NET=n
where n is the external network number. This number is
arbitrary if there is the only one server on the
network, but if there are multiple servers on the same
network, it must match the other servers' external
network number.
To implement multiple 2450 cards in a Netware v3.12 server,
add the following line to your STARTUP.NCF:
SET RESERVED CACHE BUFFERS BELOW 16 MEG = 64
This is not needed with version 3.11, but you will have
problems binding multiple 2450 cards without it in version
3.12.
Note: Reboot your computer by pressing the reset button, or
by turning the power switch off and on. Do NOT use
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>. Some PCI systems do not reset
bus-mastering cards properly with a warm boot.

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.
