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.
