For NetWare v3.12 New Installations

NOTE: The SDMSNET3.DSK driver should work on a NetWare 3.11 server.
However, this compatibility is neither tested nor supported.

1. Create a directory in which to install the NetWare file server. Change to that

directory and copy all the files from the NetWare system disks into that direc-
tory.

2. Copy the file SDMSNET3.DSK from the Symbios Logic device drivers dis-

kette into this directory. If ASPI support is desired, also copy NETASPI3.NLM.

3. To start NetWare and continue the installation, type:

SERVER

4. When prompted, enter the name of the file server and network (IPX) number.

See the chapter on file server installation in the NetWare Installation Manual
for restrictions and further information.

5. At the NetWare prompt, type:

LOAD SDMSNET3

This command loads the main driver. Without this command, NetWare is un-
able to access the hard disk drive. If ASPI support is desired, also type:

LOAD NETASPI3

6. To bring up the Installation menu, at the NetWare prompt type:

LOAD INSTALL

Continue with the installation according to the file server installation chapter
in the Novell NetWare Installation Manual.

7. At the Available System Options menu, select the EDIT STARTUP.NCF op-

tion and check to see that the line LOAD SDMSNET3 is in the file. If not, add
this line to the file. This eliminates the need to load drivers by hand every time
the system is powered up. If the line appears more than once, remove the du-
plicate statements and all references to “port=xxxx”, “slot=xxxx” and/or
“mem=xxxx”.

8. In addition, if ASPI support is required, add the line: load NETASPI3.NLM

to the file after the line: load SDMSNET3.DSK
