NetWare Setup Steps a. Configuring the LAN Adapter Follow the steps and, if necessary, refer to Acer 5220 Ethernet Card User's Manual Chapter 4 for easy installation. 1. Verify the SW1 setting for I/O and memory base address configuration.If the memory is not used, set SW1-1 and SW1-2 to ON. 2. If the memory space is used, set jumper group 2 (J08 - J09) to the proper configuration. 3. Set the jumper plug to the proper jumper position on the interrupt channel configuration block J10 - J15. 4. Check the network interface used in the network system If thick Ethernet is used, close all group 1 jumpers J00 - J07 in THICK position. If thin Ethernet is used, close all group 1 jumpers in THIN position. 5. Set J22 jumper to the proper position for selecting Advanced mode or NE-1000 compatible mode. b. Installing the driver files for the card 1. Copy the 5220SH.LAN file to the SHGEN-1 diskette for "floppy disk" method or to the SHGEN-1 sub-directory if you are using "harddisk" or "network" method. It is a Shell driver description file. 2. Copy the Operating System driver description file 5220OS.LAN to the AUXGEN diskette for "floppy disk" method or to the AUXGEN sub-directory if you are using "harddisk" or "network" method. But if you are generating an External Bridge, the 5220OS.LAN file should be copied to the BRGEN-1 diskette or the BRGEN-1 sub-directory. 3. For the "floppy disk" method a blank disk needs to be formattted and labeled. Use the DOS LABEL command to label the diskette as LAN_DRV_889. If the "harddisk" or "network" method is being used then a subdirectory under the NETWARE directory must be created. Use the DOS MKDIR command to create the LAN_DRV_.889 subdirectory. Copy the *.OBJ files to either the labeled diskette or subdirectory depending on which method is being used. 4. Run NETGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter options to generate the file server operating system. 5. Run SHGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter options to generate the workstation shell. 6. Run BRGEN and select the correct driver from the list of LAN adapter options to generate the external bridge software. 3.
