Novell NetWare Server 3.12
--------------------------
For a NetWare 3.12 server configuration, We provides a NetWare Server 3.12 ODI
driver which is included on the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette.
Note:
-----
The directory structure provided on the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver
diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. Also, more information
can be found in the Novell NetWare 3.12 documentation.
Use the (LOAD) and (BIND) commands to load the NetWare 3.12 ODI server driver
as described below. For more information on these commands, refer to the Novell
NetWare 3.12 LAN Driver Installation documentation.
There are two methods for loading the NetWare Server 3.12 driver:
(1) use the server command line prompt (":") or
(2) edit the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.
Note:
-----
If you use the server command line, you will need to load the driver each time
the system is booted. If you edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it will automatically
load the driver each time your system is booted.
Follow the steps listed below:
1 Install NetWare 3.12 on your system.
2 Copy the ODI Server driver (RTSSRV.LAN) and the relative files from
the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver diskette to the hard disk
directory where the NetWare 3.12 system files are located. The
following path should be used to access the files from the PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter driver diskette:
NOTE: Rename the existing MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM before start to
copy the following files into your NetWare systems.
A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\MSM31X.NLM
A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\ETHERTSM.NLM
A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\NBI31X.NLM
A:\SERVER.ODI\3.12\RTSSRV.LAN
NOTE: While system load the NBI31X.NLM, server will prompt you
message as :
Warring: This version of NetWare does not support
protected mode BIOS accesses. Without a
loader patch some PCI drivers may fail.
The NBI31X file is necessary to running driver on NetWare 3.12.
The above message just tell you NetWare 3.12 is not support
NBI(NBI is a new loader module on NetWare 4.11).
3 Boot NetWare by executing (SERVER.EXE). Refer to the appropriate
Novell NetWare documentation on loading disk drivers and mounting
volumes for more information.
4 To load the driver manually, follow the steps listed below. If you
want to load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), go to step 5.
Notes:
------
1) You must unload ETHERTSM.NLM then MSM.NLM before loading the driver
Simply type unload ETHERTSM
unload MSM
2) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in
a DOS partition.
Type the following command at the file server console :
LOAD RTSSRV
The relative files will loading automatically.
Next, press <Enter> to accept the "SLOT=" values where your PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter is located.
An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter :
SLOT = 4
Then, bind the driver to the IPX protocol stack by typing:
BIND IPX TO RTSSRV NET=xxxx
(Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234)
Then press <Enter>.
The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete.
5 To load the driver using (AUTOEXEC), you must first edit the
(AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.
* Type "LOAD INSTALL" at the server prompt (":") to access the Install
Utility.
* Open the "SYSTEM OPTIONS" menu to access "EDIT AUTOEXEC".
* Then add the following command lines to the (AUTOEXEC.NCF) file.
An example with the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter:
LOAD RTSSRV FRAME=Ethernet_802.2
BIND IPX TO RTSSRV NET=xxxx
(Bind to IPX or any other protocol stack; where e.g., xxxx=1234)
You can load 4 frame type protocol at a time when the server is
booted. To use this option you must load and bind another
frame type protocol( Ethernet_802.3,Ethernet_II,Ethernet_SNAP ).
Loading Multiple PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters
--------------------------------------------
The driver must be loaded again for each new PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
installed in the system.
If more than one adapter card will be installed, the user must
specify the board's SLOT number for each card. For example, to load
two PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters:
LOAD RTSSRV
For board 1: load RTSSRV slot=4
For board 2: load RTSSRV slot=3
The installation of the NetWare Server 3.12 driver is now complete.
Notes:
------
(1) You will need to specify the DOS path if the driver is located in
a DOS partition.

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.
