Network Operating System software is not serialized for this hardware.

Occurs on:  286 only.  This is an Abend error.

Meaning:  The NetWare operating system serial number and the hardware
          serial number of the Novell key card or Disk Coprocessor Board
          (DCB) do not correspond to each other.

Cause:  The file server that NetWare is being installed on must have a
        key card or a DCB with the same serial number as the operating
        system.

Solution:  Ensure that the file server has a key card or a DCB installed
           in it that has the same serial number as the software that is
           being installed on it.  If this error occurs on a 286 system
           containing a DCB but without a disk subsystem such that you
           are effectively using the DCB as a key card, the file server
           cannot read the serial number off of the DCB.  This error can
           be resolved by adding a disk subsystem or by the following
           modification:  Jumper pins 23 and 25 together on the 50 pin
           connector of the Disk Coprocessor Board so that it appears to
           have a disk connected to it.  The server will then be able to
           read the serial number correctly.
