----------------------------------------------- SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Installation Remote boot to NetWare server ----------------------------------------------- Install the Novell 4.X RPL server: --------------------------------------- 1. Create a boot image 1.1 You must create a remote boot diskette. The files on this boot diskette, for example, should include the following files: COMMAND.COM IO.SYS (attrib -s -h io.sys) MSDOS.SYS (attrib -s -h msdos.sys) HIMEM.SYS LSL.COM SIS900.COM IPXODI.COM NETX.EXE NET.CFG AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS The NET.CFG file may contain these lines : Link Support LINK DRIVER SIS900 Frame Ethernet_802.2 Frame Ethernet_802.3 Frame Ethernet_II Frame Ethernet_snap The AUTOEXEC.BAT file may contain these lines : DOSKEY LSL SIS900 (Ethernet ODI Driver) IPXODI NETX PATH F:\LOGIN; SET COMSPEC=F:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM The CONFIG.SYS file may contain these lines : DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS STACKS=9,256 DOS=HIGH,UMB FILES=30 BUFFERS=30 LASTDRIVE=E FCBS=16,8 1.2. Boot a workstation and login to the server as ADMIN. 1.3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM 1.4. Insert the DOS boot diskette in driver A: and run the DOSGEN utility. This creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS. You can rename NET$DOS.SYS to whatever you want (ex.SIS900.SYS). 1.5. Copy all boot image files to the SYS:LOGIN directory. 2. Create BOOTCONF.SYS text file Create BOOTCONF.SYS in SYS:\LOGIN directory if you have multiple boot images. The BOOTCONF.SYS file format is as below: Node ID Number = Boot image files... Single boot image for each node ID 0x00E006000011 = SIS900.SYS 0x00E006000022 = NET$DOS.SYS Multiple boot images for each node ID 0x00E006000011 = NET$DOS.SYS SIS900.SYS 0x00E006000022 = NET$DOS.SYS Using wildcard characters 0x00E00601* = NET$DOS.SYS SIS900.SYS or 0x00E006* = SIS900.SYS or 0x*,* = NET$DOS.SYS SIS900.SYS Multiple boot images will cause the BOOTROM program to display image options on the workstation screen. The screen looks like Place CURSOR on DISK IMAGE file; Hit ENTER when Ready: NET$DOS.SYS SIS900.SYS [Note] 1. SIS900.SYS are renamed from NET$DOS.SYS. 2. 0x*,* stands for all nodes. 3. If you don't have BOOTCONF.SYS file or Node number does not match with those specified in BOOTCONF.SYS, you will boot the default image. 3. Copy all RPL related files to file server 3.1 Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory. 3.2 Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. 4. Load RPL.NLM module and bind RPL.NLM Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory to load RPL.NLM modules and bind RPL.NLM to the 802.2 Ethernet adapter. For example: file server name MYSERVER ipx internal net 980731 load SIS900 name=SIS900_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2 bind ipx to SIS900_1 net=11 load SIS900 name=SIS900_2 frame=ETHERNET_II bind ipx to SIS900_2 net=22 load SIS900 name=SIS900_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3 bind ipx to SIS900_3 net=33 load SIS900 name=SIS900_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap bind ipx to SIS900_4 net=44 ; ---------- for RPL file server ----------------- load rpl bind rpl to SIS900_1 ; ---------- end for RPL file server ----------------- mount all 5. Install the PROM on the socket.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.
