DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User's Guide Notes on NetWare When you are installing Adaptec DuraLAN NICs, it is a good idea to document where each port physically resides in the server- especially when two or more identical NICs exist. This is important since ports are identified by generic port names, such as Adptsf1, Adptsf2, Adptsf3, and so on. Port names are assigned to ports in the order that the system scans these ports at boot time. Consequently, whenever you physically rearrange the network cards, the port names change as well. Online Help is available from anywhere in NetWare's menudriven dialog boxes during the configuration process. For help, just press F1 from any area or any window during whatever process you are currently involved, and Help will appear to assist you. After you install Duralink64 LAN driver software, use configsf to reconfigure the drivers for Standalone (SA), Failover (FO), Port Aggregation (PA), or FEC (Fast EtherChannel). (See Modifying Driver Configurations on page 5-15.) Before You Begin s Verify that all system, memory, and NIC requirements are met; see System Requirements on page 1-3. s Verify that the new Adaptec DuraLAN NIC(s) have been installed properly in the server; see Chapter 2, DuraLAN NIC Installation on page 2-1. s Check your system for installed Adaptec DuraLAN NIC drivers. If a Duralink64 Standalone driver, Duralink64 Failover driver, or Duralink64 Port Aggregation driver exists, it must be removed. For information about driver removal, see Removing or Uninstalling Drivers on page 5-15. Note: For Novell NetWare, only one driver type may be configured at any one time. 5-2
