Hardware Requirements
In order to successfully install the Emulex DCP_link software, you must be
running NetWare on a Novell approved hardware platform, or you must first
install the Runtime version of Novell NetWare that is shipped with
DCP_link. If you are running on a Novell approved hardware platform, you
will need the following minimum configuration.
• An Intel (or equivalent) 80386 (minimum) based host server with
ISA/EISA slot(s) available for WAN adapter(s).
• At least 16MB of system RAM.
• 80 MB of available hard disk memory.
• (For CD-ROM installation only) A CD-ROM drive compatible with ISO
9660 formatted disks.
• NetWare certified LAN Network Interface Card (NIC) for local routing.
• A 3.5” floppy diskette drive.
You will need the following communications equipment:
• For analog lines, synchronous modems at both ends of the WAN
connection (point-to-point configurations).
• DSU/CSU, synchronous modem, PBX, or T1 multiplexer.
• Cable connectors and adapters, as applicable, for RS-232C, V.35, RS-
422, or X.21 interfaces. Basic connectors for RS-232C and RS-422 are
included with DCP_link.
Software Requirements
To operate properly, your system software should be configured as follows:
• The system should start DOS from the hard disk. NetWare is started from
DOS before it takes over the system hardware completely.
• Novell DOS 7 (included), MS-DOS or PCDOS 3.1 or higher.
