Installing a NetWare Server Driver 3-17
At system boot, the PCI BIOS determines slot numbers for
all PCI NICs. Adding or removing PCI NICs can cause the slot
numbers of all other PCI NICs to change. Therefore, after
adding or removing PCI NICs in your machine, you should
verify the slot numbers used by all PCI NICs (including the
3C359 NIC) and change the Load command SLOT=
parameters for them accordingly.
FRAME=<type> Specifies the frame type used by this
logical board. (A "logical board" means a particular
instance of loading the server driver.)
You do not need to include this parameter if you will be
using only the default frame type, TOKEN-RING. But you
must make sure the server driver is configured for all frame
types used on the network.
If you want to use both frame types, you must load the
driver twice, as shown below:
load tlknpodi slot=<value> frame=token-ring
load tlknpodi slot=<value> frame=token-ring_snap
NODE=<node-ID> Specifies that the locally
administered node ID parameter overrides the default
globally administered node ID stored on the NIC. The node
IP is a hexadecimal number in the range 400000000000h
to 40007FFFFFFFh (the range of locally administered node
IDs permitted under IEEE guidelines). The node address you
select must be unique. For example:
node=4000123AB678
NAME=<name> An optional name for identifying this
logical board. NAME is commonly used when you bind
a protocol to the driver. This parameter is limited to 17
alphanumeric characters and must be unique among all
logical boards in the file server.
Finding the Slot Number Manually This section shows
how to manually determine the slot numbers of two 3C359
NICs installed in a file server. You do not need to take these
actions if you want to enter the slot numbers when
prompted by the server.
