First, make sure that the Gigabit Ethernet card is physically installed on your system. Typically, NetWare OS software must already be running on the server. Make sure that your server meets the hardware and operating system software requirements described in Table 2-1, which starts on page 2-2. Install the NIC into a PCI slot of a NetWare server and note the slot number (slots are generally numbered top/front to bottom/back of the machine). You may need to know the slot number later, when you configure the driver.
