before installing, review the support pack requirements in the system requirements section of this guide.

    driver name:pro/1000 adapters: ce1000.lan in the \nwserver folder

    pro/100 adapters: ce100b.lan in the \nwserver folder

    prior to installing, either load dos or netware drivers for your server's cd-rom drive or create a floppy disk from the intel cd on a different computer. go to the making a floppy disk section of this guide.

    1 from the netware console, type nwconfig or load install and press [enter].

    2 from the configuration options screen, choose driver options and press [enter].

    3 choose configure network drivers and press [enter]. if any drivers are already loaded, a list of them appears.

    4 choose load an additional driver and press [enter]. a list of drivers appears.

    5 insert the intel cd or floppy disk you've created and choose install an unlisted driver by pressing [insert].

    6 if you're using a floppy disk, insert the disk in drive a and press [enter]. if you've mounted the cd as a netware volume, press [f3] and enter the source path (cd volume).

    7 the driver name is displayed: intel(r) pro pci adapter. press [enter] to select it.

    8 a prompt appears asking if you want to copy the driver. select yes and press [enter].

    9 the next screen asks for parameters for loading the driver. to modify any driver parameters or protocols, highlight select/modify driver parameters and protocols and press [enter]. if you have multiple adapters, enter the slot number for the adapter you are currently configuring. when finished configuring the driver, select save parameters and load driver to continue.

    if your system contains a single network adapter, you may enter any number for the slot. the driver will automatically detect the correct slot number and load successfully.

    if your system contains more than one network adapter, you can find the valid slot numbers for your adapters by pressing [alt]-[esc] to switch to the console screen in netware. type load [driver_name] (ce100b or ce1000) and press [enter]. the driver will attempt to load and prompt you with the available slot numbers. note the slot numbers, and press [esc] to abort the driver load. use [alt]-[esc] to switch back to the install screen and enter the correct slot number.

    10 to complete the driver installation process, go back to the configuration options screen by pressing [esc] until you see the configuration options screen.

    11 choose exit to return to the server console prompt.

    if the adapter cannot transmit or receive after installation, you may need to modify the frame type or load and bind statements in the autoexec.ncf file.

    if you are installing multiple adapters, repeat the driver installation process for each adapter in the server.

    some switches can take several seconds to auto-negotiate and establish a link with the adapter. this may result in a false "could not establish link" error message. use the monitor or check the adapter lights to determine valid connection information.
