STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION Novell NetWare OS/2 Workstation Requester For Ether 10/100 Fast Ethernet EISA Adapters INSTALLATION GUIDE This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only. Copyright (c) 1995 Standard Microsystems Corporation. All rights reserved. This installation guide describes: o How to use EZStart to copy SMC's NetWare OS/2 ODI workstation driver from the SMC SuperDisk to your PC. o How to install the driver using Novell's OS/2 requester INSTALL program. o How to install multiple adapters. o Error messages. COPYING THE DRIVER FILES From the EZStart Network Drivers and Documentation Selection screen, select 'Novell NetWare OS/2 ODI Driver'. Then, when the Network Drivers and Documentation screen appears, select 'Copy Files' to copy all the files used by this driver from the SuperDisk to the Destination Directory recommended by EZStart, or to a different directory that you specify. LOADING THE DRIVER Use the following instructions with those in Novell's NetWare Requester for OS/2 manual: 1. Load the NetWare Requester INSTALL program according to the instructions in the NetWare manual. 2. Select "Requester on workstation" from the menu. 3. Specify the source and target directories. 4. Select "Edit CONFIG.SYS and Copy Files". 5. Select "SMC9232.SYS" from the list. If the SMC driver is not in the list, type: SMC9232.SYS 6. When prompted as to whether this is a third-party NIC driver, select "Yes". 7. Select or deselect any remaining options, then select "Save". In the "Save File As:" field, type: CONFIG.SYS 8. In the Copy Requester Files window, select "Copy". 9. Proceed with the instructions in the NetWare Workstation for OS/2 manual until you complete the installation. INSTALLING MULTIPLE ADAPTERS If two adapters are installed in the same workstation, modify the NET.CFG file in the \NETWARE subdirectory on your PC. To modify the file, use any text editor to open the file and add the following lines: LINK DRIVER SMC9232 SLOT X LINK DRIVER SMC9232 SLOT X In the above lines, X is the EISA slot number of the adapter, in hexadecimal. The first adapter should be the one with the lowest slot number. After you modify the file, copy it to the \NETWARE subdirectory or to the directory where the SMC9232.SYS OS/2 ODI driver resides. ERROR MESSAGES "Adapter hardware failure detected (initialization)" The adapter did not pass the initialization process. Check the adapter for configuration conflicts. "Adapter hardware failure detected (self-test)" The adapter did not pass the initialization self-test process due to a hardware problem. Check the adapter for configuration conflicts. "Adapter IRQ higher than 7 not valid in 8-bit slot" The I/O base address specified cannot be used if the adapter is inserted into an 8-bit slot. Select a different IRQ number. "No Ethernet Adapters Found" The driver could not detect an adapter installed in the system. Check the adapter is inserted properly into the slot connector. "Invalid Ethernet node address specified" The node address specified in the NET.CFG file was illegal. Broadcast and multicast addresses are not allowed as valid node addresses. Use the node address override with caution, as this can cause problems on your network. "One or more NET.CFG parameters are missing or invalid" A driver parameter required to load the driver is missing from the NET.CFG file. Add the parameter(s) and reload the driver. "I/O address in NET.CFG is on illegal boundary" The specified PORT address in the NET.CFG file is not correct. Verify the adapter I/O address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "I/O address in NET.CFG is out of range" The I/O base address specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter I/O address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "IRQ in NET.CFG does not match adapter configuration" The IRQ number specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus adapter does not match the detected configuration. Verify the adapter IRQ setting from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "IRQ specified in NET.CFG is out of range" The IRQ number specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter IRQ setting from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "RAM address in NET.CFG is on illegal boundary" The specified MEM address in the NET.CFG file is not correct. Verify the adapter RAM memory address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "RAM address in NET.CFG is out of range" The RAM address specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter RAM memory address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "RAM size specified in NET.CFG is out of range" The RAM size specified in the NET.CFG file for the AT-bus adapter is out of range of supported values. Verify the adapter RAM memory address from the soft-configuration or jumper setting, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "RAM size in NET.CFG does not match adapter config" The MEM length parameter in the NET.CFG file was invalid. Check the adapter configuration, and make the necessary changes to the NET.CFG file. "Cannot access adapter RAM properly" The adapter could read or write the adapter RAM. Verify that another adapter does not share the same memory space as the LAN adapter.
