1. SLOT ( Required for multiple cards )
Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number.
For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device
location as defined by the PCI specification. One way to determine
the slot number is to load the driver from the command line. You'll
be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select
one of them.
Syntax: SLOT=n (n = 1,2,3,4,...)
2. NODE
Specifies a local administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter.
Use this option to provide your own unique node address for the
adapter. The node address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number; the
second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6, A, E.
Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx
n = 2, 6, A, E
x = hexadecimal number
Default: The adapter's assigned address.
