-
- CONTENTS
-
- The following files are needed for installing PC-NFS:
-
- 1. WDPLUS.SYS - PC-NFS Link Level Driver for 8003/8013 family
- Ethernet LAN adapters.
-
- HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
-
- 1. One 8003/8013 family Ethernet LAN adapter. This driver does
- not support StarLAN adapters.
-
- 2. An IBM PC, PC XT, PC AT, PS/2 Micro Channel or 100%
- compatible personal computer.
-
- 3. At least 512 Kbytes of usable RAM.
-
- 4. PC-DOS 3.0 or greater, or a compatible version based on
- MS-DOS.
-
- 5. One or more NFS servers.
-
- For additional information, refer to the PC-NFS User Manual,
- available from Sun Microsystems.
-
-
- CONFIGURING AND INSTALLING THE 8003/8013 FAMILY LAN ADAPTER
-
- 1. Configure the adapter according to your system configuration.
-
- The WDPLUS.SYS device driver is installed at PC boot time
- according to the command line specified in the DOS CONFIG.SYS
- file (described below). You must verify that the LAN adapter
- configuration corresponds to the software settings given on
- the device driver command line.
-
- Jumper settings and configuration information for some adapters
- are described in the JUMPERS.DOC file. For more information,
- refer to the "User Installation Guide" that comes with each
- adapter.
-
- 2. Insert the 8003/8013 family LAN adapter in your PC.
-
- 3. Power up your PC.
-
- DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
-
- For PC-NFS Version 3.0 and above, the WDPLUS driver can be
- configured and installed via the PC-NFS NFSCONF Utility.
- For PC-NFS Version 2.0, the WDPLUS.SYS driver must be included
- in the DOS CONFIG.SYS file, as described below.
-
- To install the WDPLUS driver, follow the procedures outlined
- below:
-
- 1. Configure the adapter according to your system configuration,
- as described above.
-
- 2. Include the following statement in your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=\NFS\WDPLUS.SYS /i# /pxxx /myyyy
-
- where
-
- # is the PC interrupt value selected during
- configuration of the adapter,
- xxx is the base I/O port address in hexadecimal,
- selected during configuration of the adapter,
- and
- yyyy is the 4-digit memory segment base address in
- hex you want the driver to use for the adapter
- on-board shared buffer memory.
-
- For example, the following statement corresponds to the factory
- adapter configuration and a buffer memory base address of
- D0000:
-
- DEVICE=\NFS\WDPLUS.SYS /i3 /p280 /mD000
-
-
- Check that the configuration of the adapter matches the settings
- identified in the command line paramenters of the WDPLUS.SYS
- driver.
-
- Your # options for the /i interrupt parameter are: 2 through 7
- for 8-bit adapters, 2 through 15 for 16-bit and Micro Channel
- adapters.
-
- Your xxx options for the /p I/O port parameter are: 3E0, 3C0,
- 3A0, 380, 360, 340, 320, 300, 2E0, 2C0, 2A0, 280, 260, 240, 220,
- or 200.
-
- Your yyyy options for the /m Shared Buffer parameter are: 8000 -
- F000, on boundaries equal to the size of the adapter RAM
- (8KB=200h, 16K=400h). The amount of shared memory used by the
- adapter is determined automatically by the driver.
-
- 3. If your CONFIG.SYS file does not specify at least 20 buffers
- and files, you should modify CONFIG.SYS to include the
- following:
-
- BUFFERS=20
- FILES=20
-
- 4. You must have a copy of Sun's PC-NFS (rev. 2.0 or greater).
- Refer to that documentation for additional information on
- PC-NFS.
