92 CHAPTER 5: INSTALLING NETWARE CLIENT AND SERVER DRIVERS
Obtaining Slot Numbers
The NetWare driver installation program requires you to
enter a PCI slot number for each NIC. In older versions of
NetWare software, the term slot number referred to the
physical slot in which the NIC was installed in the server.
Now, the slot number is a combination of the bus number,
bus type, and the physical slot number. The value of a slot
number can be 10001 or larger.
Follow this procedure to obtain slot numbers for a
multi-NIC installation:
1 Install only one 3CR990 NIC, as described in Installing
and Connecting the NIC on page 34.
2 Follow the installation instructions in this chapter to
load the EtherCD, copy the driver, and load the driver.
You need not specify a slot number when only one NIC
is installed.
3 In the NetWare Console, issue a CONFIG command.
4 Write down the slot number that is listed for the
installed NIC.
5 Install the second 3CR990 NIC.
6 Follow the installation instructions in this chapter to
install the driver on the second NIC.
Each time you load the driver, the CONFIG command
displays the slot numbers for all the 3CR990 NICs in
the system.
Installing the NetWare 3.12 Server Driver
To install the driver in a NetWare 3.12 server:
1 Copy the MSM31X.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM, and
NBI31.NLM files from the \NWSERVER directory on
the EtherCD to the directory on your hard drive
where other NLM files are located.
Copy the NLM files only if the versions existing on
the server are older than the versions supplied on
the EtherCD.
