Multiple Adapters in a Server

If you are running NetWare and have installed multiple
adapters in a PCI computer that is functioning as a server,
follow the instructions in this section.
The 3C59X EtherDisk diskette contains a NetWare 4.x server
driver (3C59X.LAN) and the NetWare Loadable Modules
(NLMs) that enable the NetWare 4.x driver to be used with
NetWare 3.11 or 3.12 software. These files are found in the
\NETWARE subdirectory.

Driver Installation with NetWare 3.11

To install the 4.x server driver while running NetWare 3.11,
follow these steps:
1 Copy the contents of the appropriate \NETWARE subdirectory
to the boot partition of the server's hard disk.
2 When you start the server, enter the following commands:
load C:LSLENH.NLM [Enter]
load C:3C59X.LAN PORT=XXXX NAME=X [Enter]
load C:3C59X.LAN PORT=XXXX NAME=Y [Enter]
where XXXX is the adapter's port address and NAME X and Y
are names that you assign to help distinguish the multiple
adapters. (To determine the port address, refer to the
section "Finding the Adapter's Port Address" earlier in this
chapter.)
If the load sequence above is not followed, the system will
not operate correctly. Make sure that the PORT=XXXX
parameter is completed for all adapters.
3 When this has been done, bind the protocol to the
user-assigned names.
When running the 3C59X.LAN driver with NetWare 3.11,
you must update the MONITOR.NLM file that accompanied
NetWare 3.11 with the MONITOR.NLM file from Novell.
For the latest NLMs, contact Novell.
