Novell NetWare Driver Installation

Requirements
Before you begin, make sure that:
• The NIC is installed in the server.
• The latest support pack files are installed. The latest support packs can be
found at:
http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.
NOTE: If you are installing NetWare 5.x or 6.x for the first time, you need to
install the NIC driver during the operating system installation procedure.
To obtain the latest support pack files, go to the Novell support Web site and select the
Minimum Patch List option in the navigation bar. Scroll down the page and select and
download the latest support pack or patch file(s) for the operating system running on
your server.

You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the
CD ROM NetWare directory onto a floppy disk. If you choose to use the CD directly,
ensure that the CDROM.NLM file is loaded and that you are aware of the NetWare
Volume name for the CD that you just installed.
There are two methods for installing the driver:
• Installation during the Novell operating system installation.
• Installation when Novell is already installed.
