ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ INSTALLATION GUIDE ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Below are guidelines for installing the server driver, RL100TX.LAN, in a NetWare v3.12 environment. ********************************************************************** Note:-1) Loading the new specification NLMs without the NetWare Loader patch may prompt a warning message. This message will not affect the operation of RL100TX-PCI To apply the Loader patch, see instruction provided in the directory A:\NW3.12\312LDR.PAT 2) The "minimum packet receive buffers" must be adjusted to 150 when loading multiple frames or cards support. Add the statement below in STARTUP.NCF file; SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS=150 ********************************************************************** 1. Install Novell NetWare v3.12 operating system into your server station hard disk. 2. Copy all files in A:\NW3.12 directory of distribution diskette to C:\SERVER.312 directory of NetWare v3.12 server hard disk. For example, type, A:\ COPY A:\NW3.12\*.* C:\SERVER.312 3. Run SERVER.EXE on the NetWare v3.12 server station. 4. At the NetWare 386 prompt, type: : C:\SERVER.312\RTX312.NCF <enter> Note: Edit RTX312.NCF if NetWare server boot directory is different from that in RTX312.NCF This loads the following files, NBI31X.NLM, MSM31X, ETHERTSM, and RL100TX When RL100TX.LAN loads it will prompt for a PORT address. If you have only one card installed, press Enter will use the default scanned address. 5. Next bind IPX to the server driver by typing: : BIND IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx can be 1 to 8 digits long in hexadecimal. 6. Server is now ready to service the workstations Update AUTOEXEC.NCF file to auto-load these file when the server starts.

Use any text editor like Notepad or DOS EDIT open the file AUTOEXEC.NCF Insert the following text after the line "IPX internet address= nnnnnnnn" e.g. IPX internet address = nnnnnnnn C:\SERVER.312\RTX312.NCF <-- add line Bind IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx <-- add line Note: Edit RTX312.NCF to add the port address for RL100TX.LAN. e.g. LOAD RL100TX Port=xxxx If you load manually, the modules should be loaded in this sequence; : Load C:\SERVER.312\NBI31X.NLM : Load C:\SERVER.312\MSM31X.NLM : Load C:\SERVER.312\ETHERTSM.NLM : Load C:\SERVER.312\RL100TX.LAN PORT=nnnn : Bind IPX RL100TX net=xxxxxxxx ** NOTE ** Upon loading three NLM modules (MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM), if your NetWare server has not run the Loader patch from Novell for NetWare server this error message will show, " This version of NetWare does not support protected mode BIOS access. Without a loader patch some PCI driver may fail" With RL100TX-PCI driver, just ignore the message. RL100TX-PCI driver will run properly without the loader patch on the server. To support protected mode BIOS access, run the Novell Loader patch provided in this driver distribution disk in A:\NW3.12\312LDR.PAT.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.
