Ethernet MCA 10/100 Adapter v. 1.0, P/N: 710001414 Software Installation
Novell NetWare Servers
The Ethernet MCA Adapter may be installed in NetWare 4.x and 3.12 servers.
Error messages for NetWare are listed in appendix B.
NetWare 4.x Servers
1. If the NetWare 4.x server operating system has not been installed already,
install it now. As part of the installation process, the INSTALL utility prompts
for a LAN driver. Proceed to step 4.
2. If the server is up, load the INSTALL.NLM utility at the server console.
3. If you are using NetWare 4.0x, select “Maintenance/Selective Install” and then
“LAN driver options”.
If you are using NetWare 4.10 or 4.11, select “Driver Options” and then
“Configure Network Drivers”.
4. Enter “Select additional driver” and insert the Olicom Driver Disk when
prompted. The Ethernet MCA Adapter driver requires a SLOT parameter. If a
SLOT parameter is not supplied to the INSTALL utility, you must switch to the
console screen where the driver presents a list of available SLOT numbers and
awaits user input.
If the modules are already loaded, make sure that NBI.NLM is version 1.50 or
higher. This is required by the driver. Use the command “MODULES” to make
sure that the modules are loaded and which revisions they have. The required
modules are located on the Olicom Driver disk in:
\NETWARE\NW4X
5. Press F3 , set up the path to:
A:\NETWARE\NW4X
and follow the instructions
Hints
1. In an IPX internal router configuration (a server with two adapters, each
connected to a different network), the data transfer rate across the router can be
low. This happens if client workstations have CPU speeds greater than or equal
to the server. You may be able to increase the data transfer rate by adding the
following to STARTUP.NCF:
SET MAXIMUM INTERRUPT EVENTS = 100000
The default setting is 10.
