   Server Driver for NetWare 3.12 & 4.10
                                                                    v3.04


NetWare* 3.12 Server Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 ISA LAN Adapter
==========================================================

Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\EPRO.LAN (ODI Assembly Specification
                    version 3.30)


Location of NLMs:   Novell's automated services (LANDR9.EXE or greater)


The EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter ships with both a 3.30 ODI Assembly
Specification driver, and a 3.20 specification driver. This installation
document provides instructions for using the Novell recommended 3.30
specification driver. If you wish to use the earlier specification
driver, run the self extracting EPROLAN.EXE archive in the
NWSERVER\311LAN directory to obtain the 3.20 driver.


Updated 3.30 specification NLMs and operating system patches from Novell
are required for the 3.30 specification LAN adapter drivers to run on
3.12 and 4.10 NetWare servers. These NLMs are available on Novell's
website (support.novell.com) in the archive LANDRx.EXE for NLMs, and
312PTx.EXE and 410PTx.EXE for operating system updates. The "x" is the
latest revision of the updated file archive.

Warning: it is important that you follow the instructions for updating
         the OS that come in the archive. Be sure to apply the loader
         patch by following the instructions in the README.TXT file
         contained in the patch kit.  This is usually done with the
         utility LSWAP.EXE or LSWAP.NLM.

         Also, the OS update should be applied prior to loading the 3.30
         specification NLMs.

IMPORTANT:
----------

NetWare servers using the 3.30 specification NLMs require a Plug and Play
configuration manager to be loaded in order to configure Plug and Play
enabled ISA adapters.  If you don't use a Configuration manager, you MUST
DISABLE PLUG AND PLAY on the PRO/10 ISA adapter. Use SoftSet2 to disable
Plug and Play on the adapter. From main menu of SoftSet2, choose Change
Adapter Configuration, Advanced Option Menu, and set Plug and Play to
Disabled. Also, note the I/O Address of the adapter.  This information
will be needed later.
   
   For NetWare 4.10:
   NBI.NLM             (ver 1.49, 08/30/96 or newer)
   MSM.NLM             (ver 3.18, 08/22/96 or newer)
   ETHERTSM.NLM        (ver 3.11, 07/03/96 or newer)

   For NetWare 3.12:
   NBI31X.NLM               (ver 1.49, 08/30/96 or newer)
   MSM31X.NLM               (ver 3.18, 08/22/96 or newer)
   ETHERTSM.NLM        (ver 3.11, 07/03/96 or newer)

Note: NBI.NLM (or NBI31X.NLM) must be loaded before MSM and ETHERTSM.
      NetWare 3.12 needs MSM31X.NLM renamed to MSM.NLM.


Sample Load Commands
--------------------
   
   If a Configuration Manager is loaded and Plug and Play is enabled on
   adapter:
   
   LOAD <path> EPRO SLOT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
   BIND IPX TO EPRO NET=xxxxxxxx
   
   Without a Configuration Manager and with Plug and Play disabled on
   adapter:
   
   LOAD <path> EPRO PORT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
   BIND IPX TO EPRO NET=xxxxxxxx


General Installation
--------------------

1  Install NetWare 3.12 or 4.10 according to the NetWare instructions.

2  Apply any necessary NetWare operating system patches and updated NLMs
   from Novell's archives. Use the NLMs dated as follows:
   For NetWare 4.10:
   NBI.NLM             (ver 1.49, 08/30/96 or newer)
   MSM.NLM             (ver 3.18, 08/22/96 or newer)
   ETHERTSM.NLM        (ver 3.11, 07/03/96 or newer)

   For NetWare 3.12:
   NBI31X.NLM               (ver 1.49, 08/30/96 or newer)
   MSM31X.NLM               (ver 3.18, 08/22/96 or newer)
   ETHERTSM.NLM        (ver 3.11, 07/03/96 or newer)

Note: NBI.NLM (or NBI31X.NLM) must be loaded before MSM and ETHERTSM.
      NetWare 3.12 needs MSM31X.NLM renamed to MSM.NLM.

3  Copy the PRO/10 ISA server driver to the NetWare server's hard drive.

   If you can't log in to the server (before starting the server) copy
   the EPRO.LAN driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the Intel
   Configuration and Drivers disk to the root directory of the server's
   hard drive.

   If you can log into the server, copy the driver to the SYSTEM
   subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the
   load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD
   statement includes the correct path.

4  Start the server, and at the server console issue the load and bind
   statement(s) as required.  See the example above and substitute "xxx"
   with valid parameters for that adapter.

   PORT= refers to the I/O port address and NET= is the unique network
   address for that LAN segment.  If you have workstations using the
   802.3 frame type, see below for using multiple frame types on one
   adapter.

5  Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's
   AUTOEXEC.NCF file so the EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 ISA driver will load
   automatically each time the server starts up.

Hints and Tips
--------------

1  Installing multiple EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA LAN adapters

   If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter
   must have a different network number and a different port number. You
   may also want to name each adapter for ease of management.

   For example
      
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 NAME=LAN_A
      BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=320 NAME=LAN_B
      BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

2  Installing one EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter with multiple frame
   types

   When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a load and
   bind statement for each frame type.  Each load statement will use the
   same port number, but a different network number is required on the
   bind statement.  You need to supply a name on each load line to avoid
   being prompted for which board to bind IPX to.  If you do not have the
   name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute completely
   without user intervention.  For example
      
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
      BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
      LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
      BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888
