Installing the Server Driver

Installing the
NetWare Server Driver
This chapter describes how to install the NetWare 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x server drivers. To obtain
the latest shipping version of a driver, go to:
http://www.3com.com/
The \NWSERVER directory on the EtherCD contains the network driver file (3C90XC.LAN)
to be used for servers running NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5.x.
Additional files (NetWare Loadable Modules [NLMs]) that are required for servers running
NetWare are on the EtherCD in the \NWSERVER directory, or they can be obtained from Novell.
NOTE: The 3Com PCI NICs do not support NetWare 3.xx or 4.xx servers that are
not updated to the latest driver pack.

Obtaining NetWare Loadable Modules

You can obtain current NLMs for the NetWare servers listed in the table below from the
Novell World Wide Web site:
