INSTALLING NETWARE SERVER 6.5 DRIVER SOFTWARE
You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the CDROM\NetWare\Driver directory onto a floppy disk.
If you elect to use the CD directly, ensure that the CDROM.NLM file is loaded and that you know the NetWare volume name
for the CD.
1. From the NetWare Server console, type HDETECT, and then press ENTER.
2. From Options, press ENTER to accept Platform Support Module and Hot-Plug Support Module and continue detecting
devices.
3. From Options, scroll down to select Modify, and then press ENTER to change focus to detected devices.
4. Scroll down to Network boards and press ENTER.
5. From Additional Driver Options, scroll down to Modify, and then press ENTER.
6. Insert the CD or archive floppy disk you created, and then select the Add option by pressing INSERT.
7. Select the Install an unlisted driver option, by pressing INSERT.
8. If you inserted the archive floppy disk, press ENTER. If you have the CD mounted as a NetWare volume, press F3 and
type
Volume Name: NetWare\Driver
as the source path, where
Volume Name
is the name of the NetWare volume for
the CD, and
NetWare\Driver
is the directory of the specific files on the CD needed for this installation.
9. Press DOWN ARROW or TAB to switch back to Additional Driver Options.
10. Choose Return to driver summary, and then press ENTER.
11. Choose Continue in Options.
12. Choose Continue from Protocol Options unless you want to configure and bind protocols before continuing. Installation
is now complete.
VIEWING OR MODIFYING ADAPTER PROPERTIES
When an adapter configuration is saved, the NetWare installation program adds load and bind statements to the
Autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this file, you can view and modify properties or add properties for each network adapter.
NOTE: The Novell monitor program and the config command are also useful for viewing driver configuration
properties. For information on how to use these programs, see the Utilities Reference in your Novell NetWare online
documentation.
The properties that can be defined in the load statements are described below:
