To remove the drivers from the Autoexec.ncf, locate the LOAD and BIND command lines associated with

the driver and remark them out by inserting the pound (#) symbol at the beginning of each command line.

Example:
# LOAD Q57 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Q57_1_E82

# BIND IPX Q57_1_E82 NET=FAFD3D25

# LOAD Q57 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=Q57_1_E83

# BIND IPX Q57_1_E83 NET=5A2D8D6D

# LOAD Q57 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_SNAP NAME=Q57_1_ESP

# BIND IPX Q57_1_ESP NET=477A35BD

# LOAD Q57 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=Q57_1_EII

# BIND IPX Q57_1_EII NET=C3C8F2E4

# BIND IP Q57_1_EII ADDR=172.16.1.1 MASK=ff.ff.0.0

NetWare server driver LOAD line parameters
This following lists the NetWare server driver LOAD line parameter settings for HP server adapters for

N100, N1000, and N1000e.

FORCEDUPLEX. This keyword specifies one of the following duplex modes:

o

Auto-negotiate. The adapter negotiates with the switch and hub how to send and receive packets
at either full- or half-duplex speed. If unsuccessful at negotiating the duplex, HP server adapters

default to half-duplex. You must have an auto-negotiating switch/hub (an Nway switch) to get
full-duplex support with the FORCEDUPLEX parameter set to 0 (auto-negotiation).

o

Full-duplex. The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time. This improves the
performance of your adapter. Set duplex mode to full-duplex ONLY if you have a hub/switch

that supports full-duplex.

o

Half-duplex. The adapter performs one operation at a time. It either transmits or receives. To set
the adapter to half- or full-duplex mode, you must set the SPEED parameter to either 10 or 100.

NOTE:

The HP NC31xx, 340T, and NC71xx Server Adapters support full-duplex and half-

duplex. The HP NC61xx fiber Gigabit Server Adapters support full-duplex mode only and

cannot be changed.

o

Syntax: FORCEDUPLEX=n
Where n =
0—auto-negotiate
1—half-duplex
2—full-duplex

o

Default = auto-negotiate

o

Examples:
100 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=100
10 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=10

SLOT. (Required) For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device location as defined

by the PCI specification. One way to determine the slot number is to load the driver from the
command line. You will be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select one of

them.

o

Syntax: SLOT=n
Where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,...
