SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Installation
Remote boot to Windows NT Server
-----------------------------------------------
Install the NT server 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 RPL server:
------------------------------------------------
1. Install the Remoteboot Service on the NT Server.
1.1 Choose Control Panel, Network, Add Software, Remoteboot Service,
put NT server CD into CD-ROM drive, to install Remoteboot Service.
[Note]
To install RPL server, you must install DLC and NetBEUI protocols
in your NT server first.
2. Install MS-DOS Files for Remoteboot workstation.
Copy all the MS-DOS 6.22 files to
----> \\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
copy c:\dos\*.* \\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
attrib -s -h c:\io.sys
attrib -s -h c:\msdos.sys
copy c:\io.sys \\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
copy c:\msdos.sys \\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
attrib +s +h c:\io.sys
attrib +s +h c:\msdos.sys
3. Create Remoteboot configuration for new adapter
3.1 Copy the MS-DOS device driver(NDIS2) for the Ethernet adapter to the
\\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory.
for example: SIS900.DOS NDIS2 driver for the PCI adapter.
copy Bootrom\NDIS2drv\*.* \\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS
3.2 Create the directory \\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\SIS900.
Copy DOSBB.CNF, PROTOCOL.INI files from directory
\\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NE2000.
Modify DOSBB.CNF and PROTOCOL.INI.
The templates for DOSBB.CNF and PROTOCOL.INI are stored at the
\BOOTROM directory in this driver diskette.
Sample for DOSBB.CNF:
; DOS on SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet
BASE D0H
RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS
LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~
DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\SIS900\PROTOCOL.INI

EXE BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NETBEUI.EXE ~ 10 ~
DRV BBLOCK\NDIS\SIS900.DOS ~ ~ ~
DRV BBLOCK\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ M
Sample for PROTOCOL.INI:

3.3 Use RPLCMD utility to add a bblock record for new adapter.
Under MS-DOS Prompt, type <1>. NET START RemoteBoot
<2>. RPLCMD
3.4 You should follow the direction displayed on the screen.
;;; Add a new boot Block:
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quite] B
Add Del Enum:A
BootName=DOSX
; VendorName=00E006 ;for SiS900
VendorName=002642 ;for SiS630E
BbcFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\SIS900\DOSBB.CNF

Add Del Enum: A
; VendorName=00E006 ;SiS900
VendorName=002642 ;SiS630E
; VendorComment=SiS900 Fast Ethernet ;SiS900
VendorComment=SiS630E Onboard Lan ;SiS630E
[Note] VendorName is OUI Number -- the first six digit of the MAC
address on your card.
e.g. 1)SiS900: MAC address is 00E006000001
VendorName is 00E006
2)SiS630E:MAC address is 002642060008
VendorName is 002642
3.5 Shutdown Windows NT server, and reboot it.
4. Login to NT server as Administrator.
5. Install BootROM on remote client and power on remote client.
6. Start RemoteBoot service and Remoteboot manager.
6.1 Under MS-DOS Prompt, type "NET START Remoteboot"
6.2 In Network administrator, Remoteboot Manager
1.Choose Remoteboot, New Profile, to create an SiS900 Profile Name or SiS630E Profile Name.
2.Add new workstation for this Ethernet adapter and choose SiS900 or SiS630E Profile file.
[Note]
If the Node ID of workstation does not match with your Profile file,
you can use "Convert Adapters" in Remoteboot menu of Remoteboot
Manager to configure or cteate the Profile file.
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.
