Before you Begin

Verify that all system, memory, and NIC requirements are met,
see System Requirements on page 1-2.
Verify that the new Adaptec DuraLAN NIC(s) have been
installed properly in the server, see Chapter 3, DuraLAN NIC
Installation.
Check your system for installed DuraLAN NIC drivers. If a
DuraLAN Standard driver, Duralink64 Failover driver, or
Duralink64 Port Aggregation driver exists, it must be removed.
For information about driver removal see Removing Drivers on
page 9-12.
Verify that IntraNetWare Service Pack 6 or later is installed for
NetWare 4.11. This pack may be downloaded from:

Note on NetWare

When you are installing Adaptec DuraLAN NICs, it is a good idea
to document where each port physically resides in the server,
especially when two or more identical NICs exist. This is important
because ports are identified by generic port names, such as Adptsf1,
Adptsf2, Adptsf3, etc.
Port names are assigned to ports in the order that the system scans
these ports at boot time. Consequently, whenever you physically
rearrange the network cards, the port names change as well.
After you install Duralink64 Port Aggregation, use configsf to
reconfigure the drivers when necessary. (See Modifying Driver
Configurations on page 11-18.)
