Server driver installation in new NetWare 3.12 Server

Changes from the usual NetWare installation are necessary because this driver is
written to a new specification level that requires new NetWare loadable modules
(NLMs). The installation program is not aware of this, though, and these NLMs must
be loaded during installation of the server device driver and after the server
installation.

1. Create a diskette containing the extracted files from the NETWAREP.EXE

package file on the adapter CD-ROM.

2. Refer to Novell’s Installation and Upgrade manual for installation instructions.

Follow the procedure for the installation of Novell NetWare 3.12 until the
section titled “Load LAN Drivers” is next.

3. Insert the diskette that you created in step 1 into drive A. Enter the following

commands at the server prompt:

LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\NBI31X.NLM

LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\MSM31X.NLM

LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\TOKENTSM.NLM

Note: A message referring to protected-mode BIOS access might appear

before installation of Novell patches. It is for information only, and can
be ignored.

4. Load the server device driver. Enter the following command at the server

prompt:

LOAD X:\NOVELL\NETWARE\IBMTRPO.LAN DATARATE=M16

It is recommended for servers that the DataRate be set to M16 or M4, and
clients be set to Auto.

Note: See “Appendix D. Novell NetWare Server driver parameters” on page 65

for a complete list of parameters that can be specified in the LOAD
IBMTRPO command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

5. Follow the instructions in the Novell manual, beginning with “Bind the Protocol

to the LAN Driver” and continue until you are in the file server STARTUP.NCF
file panel.

6. In addition to the instructions in the Novell manual, add the following line to

STARTUP.NCF:

Set Minimum Packet Receive Buffers = 48

Note: Increase the minimum packet receive buffers by 48 for each additional

adapter that is installed.

7. Perform the instructions in “Create an AUTOEXEC.NCF file” in the Novell

manual. Add the following lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file immediately after
the

IPX INTERNAL NET statement (replace C:\SERVER.312\ with the location of

the NetWare Server program):

LOAD C:\SERVER.312\NBI31X.NLM

LOAD C:\SERVER.312\MSM31X.NLM

LOAD C:\SERVER.312\TOKENTSM.NLM

LOAD C:\SERVER.312\IBMTRPO.LAN NAME=IBMLS1 DATARATE=M16

BIND IPX TO IBMLS1 NET=

Make sure that the line containing IBMTRPO.LAN has the complete path
name.
