DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User's Guide NetWare's plug and play automatically load adptsf; or press Esc to load the NIC bindings manually (type: load sys:\etc\configsf.ncf or the user-defined ncf file). HotPlug Support in FO, PA, or FEC Mode To use HotPlug/HotReplacement in FO, PA, or FEC mode, load configsf using the Duralink64 driver CD or diskette. Configure FO, PA, or FEC, then save and install the drivers to the NetWare server. Once this is done, configsf will create a configuration file on the NetWare server (called configsf.ncf, located on sys:\etc) that contains all the appropriate settings for the mode you've selected. Next, follow these steps: 1 On the server, prompt unload status.nlm and duralink.nlm. (If the configsf GUI is running, exit the GUI.) 2 At the server prompt, initiate unload adptsf (which will unload all drivers and groups for the mode you've selected). 3 Launch the ncmcon.nlm HotPlug support module. 4 Select the Adaptec DuraLAN NIC to HotPlug or HotReplace, and follow the onscreen GUI instructions. 5 Insert the new Adaptec DuraLAN NIC in the same PCI slot as the one being swapped out, and press the PCI power switch/ latch lever/button, used to power up the PCI slot. 6 Novell Configuration Manager (NCM) will prompt you by asking if you want to power this slot. Select Yes. 7 Do not let NCM automatically load the NIC drivers; instead, press Esc to avoid loading any NIC drivers. 8 Go to the server prompt and type: sys:\etc\configsf.ncf to load the FO, PA, or FEC driver settings, which will contain all previous networking settings-including TCP/IP, IPX number, name, network ID, bindings, and so on. 5-4
