Auto installation may take a few moments. Several messages
appear while the AutoLink program is running. A final
message indicating successful installation appears.

If you experience problems that occur only when using the
AutoLink program, access the AUTOLINK.LOG file, as described
in the section “Getting Help If a Test Fails” in Chapter
4.

7 When the auto installation process is finished, remove the

diskette and reboot the computer.

When you do this, a DOS ODI client starts.

This concludes the procedure for installing a single adapter in
a NetWare DOS ODI client using the AutoLink program.

Multiple Adapters in a Client

Use multiple adapters in a client only if you plan to run
multiple protocols or to connect to more than one network.
For information on running multiple protocols, refer to the
documentation accompanying your operating system.

Before proceeding, make sure you know each adapter’s port
number. To find the adapter’s port number, refer to the next
section, “Finding the Adapter’s Port Number.”

If you are running NetWare and you need to install multiple
10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapters in a client computer, follow
these steps to load the NetWare ODI drivers:

1 Make sure your computer is turned off. Install the first

adapter.

2 Connect the network cable to the adapter.

3 Turn on the computer, insert the

EtherDisk diskette, and

run the AutoLink program.

Refer to the section “AutoLink Installation” earlier in this
chapter for instructions.
