Reomte Boot Procedures for Microsoft NT 3.5 Server
--------------------------------------------------
V 1.00 3/6/1995
A. Configuration:
Server : Microsoft NT 3.5 Server or above
Client : MS-DOS or IBM PC-DOS
Network Adapter with RPL BootRom (Generic BootRom)
Ndis Driver for DOS
Manual : Microsoft Windows NT Server "Installation Guide"(NT Manual)
B. Server Installation:
0. The network adapter and protocol must be installed successfully.
1. In NT Server "Main" Group ->"Control Pannel" -> "Network"
Add Software "DLC Protocol" and "RemoteBoot Service".
2. Copy DOS files to NT Server (NT Manual page 117,118)
Example: Copy From System Diskette A:
Copy A:\DOS\*.* C:\WINNT35\RPL\RPLFILES\DOSxxx (xxx: DOS version)
Attrib -s -h A:\IO.SYS
Attrib -s -h A:\MSDOS.SYS
Copy A:\IO.SYS C:\WINNT35\RPL\RPLFILES\DOSxxx
Copy A:\MSDOS.SYS C:\WINNT35\RPL\RPLFILES\DOSxxx
Attrib +s +h A:\IO.SYS
Attrib +s +h A:\MSDOS.SYS
3. Start "Remote Manager" from Network Administration Group.
(Restart the system if you do not have "Remote Manager" Icon)
4. "Checking the remoteboot Installation" reference NT Manual page 120.
5. Go to MSDOS prompt , Run RPLCMD.EXE to add "Boot" , "Config" and
"Vendor".(Reference Manual "Creating Remoteboot Configuration for new
Adapters" Page 139)
Example:
. Copy Adapter Driver diskette A:\NDIS\DOS\ETHNE.DOS to
C:\WINNT35\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory.
. Create Directory C:\WINNT35\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE
. Copy A:\BOOTROM\NT\DOSBB.CNF C:\WINNT35\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE
. Copy A:\BOOTROM\NT\PROTOCOL.INI C:\WINNT35\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE
. Modify PROTOCOL.INI IOBASE and IRQ parameters to match Adapter setting.
. Use RPLCMD utility to add a Boot Block for the new adapter.
Example:
C:\WINNT35\RPL> RPLCMD
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: b
Add Del Enum: a
BootName=DOSA
VendorName=0000E8
BbcFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF
All other parameters are optional
BootComment=Ethernet ISA
WindowsSize=0
. Use RPLCMD utility to add the new configuration.
Example:
C:\WINNT35\RPL> RPLCMD
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: c
Add Del Enum: a
ConfigName=DOS622x
BootName=DOSA
DirName=DOS
DirName2=DOS622
FitShared=fits\dos622.fit
FitPersonal=fit\dos622p.fit
All other parameters are optional
ConfigComment=DOS 6.22 & EN166x
DirName3=
DirName4=
. Use RPLCMD utility to add vendor ID.
Example:
C:\WINNT35\RPL> RPLCMD
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: v
Add Del Enum: a
VendorName=0000E8
VendorComment=Accton EN165x/EN166x
6. Go to Windows "Remoteboot Manager" to Add "New Profiles" and
"New Workstation" or "Convert Adapter" If Remote Boot Stations
have startup. (Reference NT Manual Page 120 for "Managing Profiles"
and Page 123 for "Managing RemoteBoot Workstation")
B. Client Installation:
Put Generic BootRom to Adapter BootRom Socket.
Run Setup program or 1Step program to Enable BootRom.

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.
