Installing the Driver in Novell NetWare Server 6.5
Before you begin, make sure that:
• The NIC is installed in the server.
• The latest support pack files are installed. The latest support packs can be found at:
http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.
To obtain the latest support pack files, go to the Novell support Web site and select
the Minimum Patch List option in the navigation bar. Scroll down the page and select
and download the latest support pack or patch file(s) for the operating system
running on your server.
There are two methods for installing the driver:
• Installation during the Novell operating system installation.
• Installation when Novell is already installed.
Installation During Novell OS Installation
You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the CD ROM
NetWare Server (nwserver) directory onto a floppy disk. If you choose to use the CD
directly, make sure that the CDROM.NLM file is loaded and that you are aware of the
NetWare Volume name for the CD that you just installed.
1 During the operating system installation, NetWare attempts to load the built-in driver
for the NIC. The following message appears: “The following driver instance failed to
load and will be deleted.” Select Yes to return to the summary screen.
2 Select the network field.
3 Press Insert to specify an unlisted NIC.
4 Press Enter if the drivers are contained on a floppy disk, or press F3 and enter a
different path.
5 Press Enter to select the NIC.
6 Select Modify Driver Properties to configure NIC options, or choose Return to Driver
Summary.
Installation with Novell Already Installed
Be sure that the server has the latest support pack available installed. The latest support
pack can be found at: http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm
1 Insert the NIC into a PCI slot.
2 Boot the computer.
During boot time, the operating system tries to automatically detect the NIC.
