                  -----------------------------------------
	 Driver Installation for Novell NetWare Server version 3.12
         ----------------------------------------------------------

  Getting Started
  ---------------
  The necessary files for Novell NetWare installation are stored in
  a self-extracting compressed format.  The FA310TX NetWare driver
  and the related NLM files need to be extracted prior to driver
  installation.

  Upgrading NetWare 3.12 Server software
  --------------------------------------
  The provided NetWare 3.12 server driver for FA310TX follows the
  Novell ODI Driver Specification version 3.3, and is capable of
  supporting requests from legacy DOS client and the new clients
  issuing client32 requests.  As a result, the version 3.12 NetWare
  server software must be patched to work with this driver. The 
  patching method is described below as part of the installation
  procedure.

  Installation Procedure
  ----------------------
  1.  Copy the compressed file NETWARE.EXE from the \NETWARE directory
      of the driver diskette into your hard disk.  Execute NETWARE.EXE
      at MS-DOS prompt to extract the drivers.  The NetWare 3.12 driver
      and the necessary NLM files are stored in the 32BITLAN and
      the 32BITLAN\NW312 sub-directories.

      Make a note of the target path where the drivers are installed.

  2.  Execute LSWAP in the 32BITLAN directory at MS-DOS prompt to
      upgrade the NetWare 3.12 server software.

      > LSWAP NW312\LOADER.EXE  C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE
          
        Usage: LSWAP [loaderFilePath [serverFilePath]]
               Default loaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
               Default serverFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE
 
  3.  Copy the NGRPCI.LAN file into the subdirectory of your server.
      For example:

	> copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\NGRPCI.LAN  C:\NWSERVER

	; if C:\NWSERVER is the server subdirectory
	; <PATH> is the path where NetWare drivers are extracted.

  4.  Copy the follwing NLM files into your server directory and rename
      NBI31X.NLM to NBI.NLM and MSM31X.NLM to MSM.NLM at the same time.

	> copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\NBI31X.NLM    C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM
	> copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\MSM31X.NLM    C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
	> copy C:\<PATH>\32BITLAN\ETHERTSM.NLM  C:\NWSERVER

  5.  Run SERVER.EXE on the server.

  6.  At the NetWare prompt, enter "Load Install" to edit the
      AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

      : load install
        Select <System Option>
        Select <Edit Autoexec.NCF file>

  7.  Modify the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF as follows:

	load C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM
	load C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM
	load C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM
	load C:\NWSERVER\NGRPCI.LAN
	bind ipx to NGRPCI net=xxxx  ;xxxx is the network number (eg. 33)

  8.  Press  <Esc> key when done editing.
      Select "Yes" to save.
      Select "Exit" to exit installation.

  9.  Reboot the server system.  The driver is now installed.


  Parameters supported by the NetWare 3.11 server driver NGRPCI.LAN
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

    SLOT     1      - Forces the driver to search for the specified board

    TP              - This  keyword  selects the UTP port on the
                      adapter; either "TP" or "TP_FULL_DUPLEX" must be 
                      used together with the "LINE_SPEED" keyword.

    AUTOSENSE       - This keyword configures the adapter to conduct
                      NWay Auto-negotiation to determine the network
                      speed and the duplex mode of the network connection.

    TP_FULL_DUPLEX  - This keyword selects twisted pair connection to
                      work in full duplex mode; either "TP" or 
                      "TP_FULL_DUPLEX" must be used together with the
                      "LINE_SPEED" keyword.

    LINE_SPEED      - This keyword selects line speed between 10Mbps and
                      100Mbps on the network card.  This keyword must be
                      used in together with the keywords "TP" or
                      "TP_FULL_DUPLEX".

                      Format: LINE_SPEED=<value>
                      Allowed values are: 10,100

    For example, to force the network adapter to operate at 100Mbps and
    half duplex, use the following line in AUTOEXEC.NCF or the NetWare
    prompt:

      : load C:\NWSERVER\NGRPCI.LAN  TP LINE_SPEED=100
