Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you can use the Gigabit Ethernet card in your NetWare system, you must
install the network device driver.
First, make sure that the Gigabit Ethernet card is physically installed on your system.
Typically, NetWare OS software must already be running on the server. Make sure
that your server meets the hardware and operating system software requirements
described in Table 2-1, which starts on page 2-2.
Install the NIC into a PCI slot of a NetWare server and note the slot number (slots
are generally numbered top/front to bottom/back of the machine). You may need to
know the slot number later, when you configure the driver.
Install the latest support pack files to ensure the GA622T Copper Gigabit Ethernet
Card will correctly function.The Support pack or patch file(s) needed for the
operating system running on your server are indicated in Table 6-2.
