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.
