a. Copy the file PCNETOS2.EXE from the root directory of the diskette that is created using the ServerGuide CDs to your hard disk drive. b. Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file: Run=d:\path\PCNETOS2.EXE where d and path are the drive and path to which you copied PCNETOS2.EXE. 6. Restart the server. The failover function is now enabled. Windows NT Server: IBM offers hot-plug support for Windows NT Server Version 4.0. Failover can work in conjunction with hot-plug support or independently. If you are not using hot-plug support, go to "Windows NT Server failover setup" on page 83. Windows NT Server hot-plug setup: IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package is available for download from the IBM Web site at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support Enter the brand type of Server, click on Downloadable files and look for Hot Plug. The IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package uses the Intel Desktop Management Interface (DMI) to control hot-plug support for the Ethernet controllers. The Ethernet controller in your computer is DMI compliant. Download and install the following software in the order listed: 1. IBM Failover DMI Agent 2. IBM PCI Hot Plug Solution 3. IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter device drivers Note: The order of installation is important. You must install the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug for Windows NT Server 4.0 package before you install the IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter driver. If you install the adapter device driver before the PCI Hot Plug Solution package, the adapter device driver will not recognize the hot-plug code. This happens because the adapter device driver only checks the NT registry for the Hot Plug package during installation. If the PCI Hot Plug Solution package is added after the adapter device driver is installed, the adapter must be removed and added again in order for it to detect the PCI Hot-Plug Solution code. To install the IBM Failover DMI Agent: 1. Download the DMI EXE file from the Netfinity Support web page and extract the files onto a diskette. 2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive. 3. From the Start menu, select the Run option. 4. Type A:\SETUP.EXE in the Open box. 5. Click Ok. The setup wizard opens. 6. Follow the instructions that are given by the setup wizard until the program is installed. 7. Restart the server. To install the IBM PCI Hot Plug Solution package: 1. Download the IBM PCI Hot Plug Services EXE file from the Netfinity Support web page and extract the files onto a diskette. 2. Log on to Windows NT Server as a user in the Administrator group. 3. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive. 82 : Netfinity 5100 Type 8658 Models 11Y, 21Y, 31Y, 41Y, 51Y, 1RY, 2RY, 3RY, 4RY, 5RY

function
is
now
enabled.
Windows

IBM
offers
hot-plug
support
for
Windows
NT
Server
Version
4.0.
Failover
can
work
in
conjunction
with
hot-plug
support
or
independently.
If
you
are
not
using
hot-plug
support,
go
to
“Windows

on

Hot

PCI
for

4.0
package
is
available
for
download
from
the
IBM
Web
site
at:
Enter
the
brand
type
of
Server
,
click
on
Downloadable
files
and
look
for
Hot
Plug
.
The
IBM
Netfinity
Hot
Plug
PCI
for
Windows
NT
Server
4.0
package
uses
the
Intel
Desktop
Management
Interface
(DMI)
to
control
hot-plug
support
for
the
Ethernet
controllers.
The
Ethernet
controller
in
your
computer
is
DMI
compliant.
Download
and
install
the
following
software
in
the
order
listed:
1.
IBM

2.

3.

Note:
The
order
of
installation
is
important.
You
must
install
the
IBM
Netfinity
Hot
Plug
for
Windows
NT
Server
4.0
package
before
you
install
the
IBM
Netfinity
10/100
Fault
Tolerant
Adapter
driver.
If
you
install
the
adapter
device
driver
before
the
PCI
Hot
Plug
Solution
package,
the
adapter
device
driver
will
not
recognize
the
hot-plug
code.
This
happens
because
the
adapter
device
driver
only
checks
the
NT
registry
for
the
Hot
Plug
package
during
installation.
If
the
PCI
Hot
Plug
Solution
package
is
added
after
the
adapter
device
driver
is
installed,
the
adapter
must
be
removed
and
added
again
in
order
for
it
to
detect
the
PCI
Hot-Plug
Solution
code.

install
the
IBM
Failover
DMI
