EtherExpress™ 32 Adapter
Installing NE3200.LAN v3.23 on NetWare* and SFT III

This document provides information for installing the NE3200.LAN driver v3.24 on a NetWare* file server running NetWare v3.11 or SFT III v3.11. It does not explain how to configure the adapter. For instructions about configuring the adapter, see the Installation Guide for the Intel EtherExpress(TM) 32 LAN Adapter.

Overview

Server ODI drivers are now composed of 3 different NLMs. When loading the NE3200.LAN, both ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM.NLM will autoload.

The default frame type for ethernet drivers is now ethernet_802.2, rather than ethernet 802.3. However, the ETHERTSM.NLM will detect if the driver is being loaded on NetWare 3.11 and default to Ethernet_802.3. If the OS isn't NetWare 3.11, then the default frame type will be Ethernet_802.2.

Installation

  1. Download the LANDRx.EXE (x being the latest offering) from Novell.

  2. Follow the instructions below for NetWare v3.11 or SFT III v3.11.

NetWare v3.11:

  1. With the server up, rename the old NE3200.LAN file, MONITOR.NLM, and PATCHMAN.NLM located in the system directory.

  2. Copy the new NE3200.LAN, MSM31X.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM, LSLENH.NLM, PATCHMAN.NLM, and MONITOR.NLM from the LANDRx.EXE file into your system directory.

  3. Rename MSM31X.NLM to MSM.NLM.

  4. Add the following statement to your AUTOEXEC.NCF immediately before the Load NE3200 statement:

      Load LSLENH (this will auto load PATCHMAN.NLM)

    When the NE3200 driver loads, it will auto load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM.

  5. Down the server.

  6. Copy the new !NVL0701.CFG to your EISA configuration diskette. Run your system's EISA configuration program. Select the option to configure the system. The card will be reset to the default configuration of interrupt 5 and edge triggered. Change the interrupt if necessary and use edge triggered as recommended by Novell.

  7. Restart the computer and bring up the server.

Note: USE the included MONITOR.NLM with these new drivers. If you use the shipping v3.11 MONITOR.NLM, your server could abend when viewing MONITOR.NLM with these newer drivers. This MONITOR.NLM included is tested and fixed.

SFT III V3.11:

  1. With the server up, rename the old NE3200.LAN, ETHERTSM.NLM, and MSM*.NLM files.

  2. Copy the new NE3200.LAN, ETHERTSM.NLM, and MSM31X.NLM files from the LANDRx.EXE into the DOS directory of each server where files loaded from IOSTART.NCF are loaded. These files should also be put into the SYSTEM directory of VOL SYS in case the drivers are unloaded and reloaded while the servers are still up and running.

  3. Rename MSM31X.NLM to MSM.NLM.

  4. Copy PM311IO.NLM and LSLENH3.NLM into the DOS directory of each server where files loaded from IOSTART.NCF are loaded.

  5. Add "LOAD LSLENH3" to the IOSTART.NCF of each server prior to the load statement for the lan drivers, this will auto load PM311IO.NLM.

  6. Load NE3200.LAN in the IOSTART.NCF of each server after the load statement for LSLENH3.NLM, this will auto load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM.

  7. Copy the new !NVL0701.CFG to your EISA configuration diskette. Run your system's EISA configuration program. Select the option to configure the system. The card will be reset to the default configuration of interrupt 5 and edge triggered. Change the interrupt if necessary and use edge triggered as recommended by Novell.

Note: Do not use the included MONITOR.NLM with SFT III v3.11. Use the shipping MONITOR.NLM with SFT III v3.11. LAN statistics are not part of MONITOR.NLM in SFT III v3.11. Do not use LSLENH.NLM, PATCHMAN.NLM, MONITOR.NLM, XLOAD.EXE, or LDR001.PTF with SFT III v3.11, these files are for NetWare v3.11 only.
