SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Installation for NetWare Server 4.X [Note]: If you upgraded MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM and NBI.NLM that was created later than Dec 1997, you should use the driver in directory \NWSERVER.50. (1) Modifying an existing NetWare 4.x Server 1. Backup NBI.NLM, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM to other place. 2. Please insert SiS 900/7016 driver diskette into floppy disk. 3. Copy all provided NLM and LAN files into your dos directory which include SERVER.EXE. COPY A:\NWSERVER.4X\NBI.NLM C:\NWSERVER COPY A:\NWSERVER.4X\MSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER COPY A:\NWSERVER.4X\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\NWSERVER COPY A:\NWSERVER.4X\SIS900.LAN C:\NWSERVER COPY A:\NWSERVER.4X\SIS900.LDI C:\NWSERVER 4. Start the NetWare Server. 5. From the Novell Server side, execute "LOAD INSTALL". Type: 6. Select <NCF files options> 7. Select <Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file> 8. Add below item into the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file. LOAD C:\NWSERVER\NBI.NLM LOAD C:\NWSERVER\MSM.NLM LOAD C:\NWSERVER\ETHERTSM.NLM LOAD C:\NWSERVER\SIS900 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=SIS900_1_E83 BIND IPX SIS900_1_E83 NET=xxxx LOAD C:\NWSERVER\SIS900 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=SIS900_1_E82 BIND IPX SIS900_1_E82 NET=xxxx LOAD C:\NWSERVER\SIS900 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=SIS900_1_EII BIND IPX SIS900_1_EII NET=xxxx LOAD C:\NWSERVER\SIS900 SLOT=1 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=SIS900_1_ESP BIND IPX SIS900_1_ESP NET=xxxx 9. Restart the server again. (2) First time installation from the install menu 1. Start the NetWare Server. 2. Execute "LOAD INSTALL" after booting up. Type, 3. Select "Driver Options", -> "Configure network drivers", and -> "Select a driver". 4. Press <Insert> key to install an unlisted driver. 5. Please insert release driver diskette into floppy disk. 6. Press <F3> to specify a different <PATH>. <PATH> is directory which include both SIS900.LAN and SIS900.LDI Ex. A:\NETSERVER.4X\ 7. Select "SiS 900/7016 ....". 8. Specify "SLOT", "FrameSelect", "Node", and "Attachment", if necessary. 9. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configure adapter setting. 10.NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically. (3) The other time installation from the install menu 1. Start the NetWare Server. 2. Execute "LOAD INSTALL" after booting up. Type, 3. Select "Driver Options", -> "Configure network drivers", and -> "Select a driver". 4. Select "SiS 900/7016 ...." in Select a driver windows. 5. Specify "SLOT", "FrameSelect", "Node", and "Attachment", if necessary. 6. Select "Save parameters and load driver" after configure adapter setting. 7. NetWare server will loading/binding driver automatically. (4) Optional LOAD line parameters ? 1.SLOT ( Required for multiple cards ) Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number. For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device location as defined by the PCI specification. One way to determine the slot number is to load the driver from the command line. You'll be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select one of them. Syntax: SLOT=n (n = 1,2,3,4,...) 2.NODE Specifies a local administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter. Use this option to provide your own unique node address for the adapter. The node address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number; the second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6, A, E. Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx n = 2, 6, A, E x = hexadecimal number Default: The adapter's assigned address. 3.MEDIATYPE Specifies the mediatype that is currently used. Use this option to force your connection type. We support the following media types: Type Ethernet Standard Duplex -------- ----------------- ------ AUTO auto-detect Auto UTP 10BASE-T Half UTPFULL 10BASE-T Full FAST 100BASE-T Half FASTFULL 100BASE-T Full Syntax: MEDIATYPE=Type Type: see above. Default: Auto-Detect.
