- NetWare v2.2 Server Installation (see note below about NetWare 2.1x)
-
- This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
- FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP. It contains notes for installing
- the NetWare 2.2 server driver. It does not explain how to configure
- an EtherExpress board. For instructions about configuring the board,
- see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.
-
- This document (or an updated version) is also available on FaxBACK,
- document #6312.
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
- To setup a Novell NetWare 2.2 server, you "tell" NetWare what
- hardware you have in the server and the configuration settings of
- that hardware. You then install User Services and make them
- available to your users.
-
- You can install NetWare from the network or from the NetWare
- diskettes. This document assumes you are installing Novell NetWare
- 2.2 from diskettes.
-
- For complete information on setting up a server, see the Novell
- NetWare documentation.
-
-
- PROCEDURE:
- ----------
- 1. Run INSTALL from a backup copy of the Novell NetWare System-1 disk.
- When asked which installation method you want (Basic or Advanced),
- choose ADVANCED.
-
- NOTE: The original Novell NetWare diskettes are write protected.
- Follow Novell's instructions for making writeable backups
- before you run Novell's INSTALL program.
-
- 2. A few screens into the program you will be asked to setup your
- network adapter and your disk controller. Highlight NETWORK BOARD A
- and press Enter. A list of available adapters will appear. Press
- the Insert key and you will be asked to insert a disk into a drive.
- Insert the Intel EtherExpress diskette in a drive and press Enter.
-
- 3. After a few seconds three versions of the EtherExpress driver will be
- added to the list of available drivers.
-
- Intel EtherExpress 16 Driver ver# date
- Intel EtherExpress 16 Driver w/AT 1 ver# date
- Intel EtherExpress 16 Driver w/AT 2 ver# date
-
- The first driver (no notation before the version number) is a
- standard NetWare 286 server driver, but contains no AppleTalk
- support. The next driver (w/AT 1) includes support for AppleTalk
- phase 1, and the last driver (w/AT 2) includes support for AppleTalk
- phase 2.
-
- Select the appropriate driver and press Enter. (If you are not sure
- which version of AppleTalk you are running, see your Novell
- documentation.)
-
- 4. You should now be at the Network Adapter and Disk Controller screen
- again.
-
- Select CONFIGURATION OPTION and you will see the following list:
-
- option 0 IOAddress 300
- option 1 IOAddress 310
- option 2 IOAddress 320
- option 3 IOAddress 220
- option 4 Driver configurable by the Jumpers utility
-
- Select the I/O Address you specified and press Enter. (The I/O
- address is setup in SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 16 and the System
- Configuration program for the EtherExpress MCA.)
-
- If the I/O Address you selected is not in this list, select option 4
- (Driver configurable by the Jumpers utility). After you complete the
- INSTALL program, you will need to run the Novell Jumpers utility (on
- NET$OS.EXE) and update the I/O Address selection for the EtherExpress
- board.
-
- 5. Now you can setup the network address and disk controller as
- specified in Novell's documentation.
-
- 6. Next you will be asked to swap a several disks. When asked to insert
- the LAN_DRV_453 disk, put the Intel EtherExpress disk in drive A.
- This will copy the needed files to the correct location.
-
- NOTE: If you are using a backup copy of the EtherExpress disk,
- the volume label must be LAN_DRV_453.
-
- Continue with the installation procedure as directed in the Novell
- documentation.
-
-
-
- NETWARE 2.1X:
- -------------
- NetWare version 2.1x uses a program called NETGEN to setup and
- configure the server. See Novell's documentation for information
- about running NETGEN. The options for the EtherExpress board will be
- the same as in the NetWare 2.2 installation.
-
- MEMORY MAPPED MODE:
- -------------------
- You should only have one EtherExpress 16 in memory mapped mode in
- NetWare 2.2 server. If you have two EtherExpress cards set to memory
- mapped mode, the second one will automatically switch to I/O mapped
- mode.
-
- MULTIPLE CARDS IN SERVER:
- -------------------------
- The EtherExpress NetWare 2.2 server driver supports one or two cards
- only in the server. NetWare 2.2 allows up to four network cards
- (LAN A-D) in the server. However, there is a size limit on the
- network card's OBJ file to be able to accomplish this. The total OBJ
- size must be less than 20-25K depending on the version. If you
- exceed this limit, you get a linking error when the NET$OS is being
- created. INSTALL doesn't say why the the linking error, only that
- one occurred. To eliminate the error, you must remove a network card
- from the server and rerun INSTALL.
