Introduction Help 1 of 1
To receive help, press <F1> at any time
during this installation program.
If you highlight a field and press <Enter> and
then press <F1>, you see help for that field
only.
If you press <F1> without pressing <Enter>
first, you see general help for that screen.
Insert Disk Driver Help 1 of 1
This diskette should be available from your
hard disk controller manufacturer (if it has
been approved by Novell for NetWare use).
For a list of approved hard disk controllers,
contact your Novell Authorized Reseller.
File Server Mode Help 1 of 4
Select which operating mode your file server
will use.
Select "Dedicated" if you will use the machine
as a file server only.
Select "Nondedicated" if you will use the
machine as both a file server and workstation.
Default: Dedicated
The following screens explain each mode.
File Server Mode - Dedicated Help 2 of 4
A dedicated server performs better and is
more reliable than a nondedicated server. It
cannot function as a workstation.
Use a dedicated server to run VAPs (such as
the Macintosh VAP) in the server.
Memory requirements: At least 2.5MB of RAM
(more if you attach disks larger than 70MB).
To boot a dedicated file server, boot from a
cold boot loader or run the NetWare operating
system file (NET$OS.EXE) from DOS.
File Server Mode - Nondedicated Help 3 of 4
A nondedicated server can run concurrently as
a workstation.
IMPORTANT: If an application causes the
machine to crash while in workstation mode, it
brings down the whole network.
Memory requirements: At least 2.5MB of RAM
(more if you attach disks larger than 70MB).
To boot a nondedicated server, run the NetWare
operating system file (NET$OS.EXE) from DOS.
File Server Mode - Nondedicated Help 4 of 4
Nondedicated servers don't perform as well
as dedicated servers (the processor is
shared between server and workstation
functions).
Nondedicated servers leave less memory for
programs when in workstation mode.
VAPs don't function as well as in a
dedicated server.
Nondedicated servers require more memory
than dedicated servers for the same
configuration.
Server Name Help 1 of 1
The server name must be 2 to 45 characters
long.
Valid characters: all alphanumeric
characters (A-Z, 0-9) and underlines (_).
The first character cannot be a period. Use

Communication buffers temporarily hold
information arriving from network stations.

network address if your server operates in
nondedicated mode.
This identifies the machine when it is in
workstation mode.
The address is a unique hexadecimal number
used to identify the nondedicated mode
address.
Each address must be unique; you can't have
