A. NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 3.11)
========================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Driver Location: \NetWare\3.1X
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before starting installation, make sure Novell NetWare 386 v3.11 server is
properly installed. Also be sure your adapter is properly installed and configured.
1. Insert the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette into the floppy
drive(A:\) and verify the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\3.1X.
It should contain the following files:
PCI40.LAN --> Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for 32-bit PCI Series
(Fast) Ethernet Adapter
AUTOEXEC.NCF
ETHERTSM.NLM
LSLENH.NLM
MONITOR.NLM
MSM31X.NLM
PATCHMAN.NLM
2. Copy the above LAN files from the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver
Diskette into the system's NetWare 386 subdirectory.
3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series
of NetWare messages on the screen.
4. Before loading the server driver you must load the above files with the
extension NLM. You can refer to the autoexec.ncf file in the
\netware\3.1X directory.
5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon),
load your server driver by typing:
: LOAD [d:]PCI40
SLOT=1 [1..8]
TP [AUI,BNC,AUTODETECT,TP_FULL_DUPLEX]
LINE_SPEED=100 [10,100]
FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 <Enter>
(Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name> SLOT=<SLOT ID.>
<MEDIUM TYPE>
LINE_SPEED=<Line Speed>
FRAME=<FRAME TYPE>)
******************************************************************************
* NOTICE!! IMPORTANT!! *
* *
* SLOT: Each slot represents an PCI adapter index value for one adapter *
* (32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapter) assigned by the PCI-BIOS.*
* For example, if the 1st slot is assigned slot=1, then the next slot *
* will be assigned slot=2, the third slot=3 and so forth until the *
* last slot. *
* *
* MEDIA TYPE: AUTODETECT by default *
* *
* LINE SPEED: 100Mbps by default (for 10/100M (NWAY) Adapter) *
* *
* If you select AUTODETECT for 10/100M(-NWAY), driver will auto detect *
* both media type and line speed. *
******************************************************************************
6. Bind IPX to the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet driver. At the NetWare server
prompt, type:
:BIND IPX PCI40 <Enter>
7. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for
the Network Number. For details on how to assign this
number, please refer to your NetWare 386 Installation
Manual.
B. NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 3.12)
========================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Driver Location: \NetWare\3.1X
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before starting installation, make sure Novell NetWare 386 v3.12 server is
properly installed. Also be sure your adapter is properly installed and configured.
1. Insert the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette into the floppy
drive(A:\) and verify the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\3.1X.
It should contain the following files:
PCI40.LAN --> Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for 32-bit PCI Series

2. Copy the above LAN files from the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette
into the system's NetWare 386 subdirectory.
3. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of NetWare messages
on the screen.
4. Before loading server driver you must load the above files with the extension NLM.
Be sure to load msm31x.nlm first. If you're booting from MS-DOS 6.x, then it will
show ".... is msm NOT msm31x...". Ignore this warning message. Next load the
ethertsm.nlm.
5. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon), load your server driver
by simply typing:
: LOAD [d:]PCI40
SLOT=1 [1..8]
TP [AUI,BNC,AUTODETECT,TP_FULL_DUPLEX]
LINE_SPEED=100 [10,100]
FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 <Enter>
(Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name> SLOT=<SLOT ID.>
<MEDIUM TYPE>
LINE_SPEED=<Line Speed>
FRAME=<FRAME TYPE>)
******************************************************************************

******************************************************************************
6. Bind IPX to the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet driver. At the NetWare server
prompt, type:
:BIND IPX PCI40 <Enter>
7. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for
the Network Number. For details on how to assign this
number, please refer to the NetWare 386 Installation
Manual.
C. NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 4.x)
=======================================================
Requirements:
-------------
32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCI40.LAN)
Driver Location: \NetWare\4.X
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
1. Insert the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette into the floppy
drive(A:\) and verify the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\4.X
It should contain the following files:
PCI40.LAN --> Novell NetWare V4.X, 3.1X Server Driver for 32-bit PCI Series
(Fast) Ethernet Adapter
PCI40.LDI --> Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation
Information File
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM
AUTOEXEC.NCF
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name),
run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.
4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)"
and press <Enter>.
5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.
6. Press <F3> to specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\4.X)
and press <Enter>.
7. The PCI40.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for
the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to
start the driver loading and binding procedure. This
will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported
by NetWare.
8. Next time starting up the system, simply follow steps
2 to 4 to complete the installation.
D. NetWare DOS ODI Workstation Driver Installation
==================================================
This section describes the procedure to install
the NetWare workstation driver for your adapter.
Requirements:
-------------
32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Driver Diskette (PCIMLID.COM)
Driver Location: \NetWare\DOSODI
Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
Before starting installation, make sure your adapter is properly installed and configured.
Also be sure the NetWare operating system is properly installed.
1. Run the following commands in the order given below and
press <Enter>:
lsl
pcimlid
ipxodi
netx (or vlm)
2. You can then log into your network.
E. Installation Notes
=====================
1. When loading PCI40.LAN, it will check whether MSM and
ETHERTSM have been loaded. If not, it will load them
automatically. After PCI40.LAN is loaded, if you type "MODULES"
command under DOS prompt, you will see that two extra
modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded.
2. The default frame type for the PCI40.LAN binding is
Ethernet_802.2, not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between
V3.11 and V4.X drivers.
The PCI40.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment.
However, it requires loading of some patch files of NLMs before loading it.
3. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters.
For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and need
to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11
is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is Ethernet 802.2. Before
you can log into the NetWare v4.X , make sure a protocol binding for
Ethernet 802.3 is included in the system's NET.CFG file.
This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample
NET.CFG file is given below:

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.
