Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions that are provided with the adapter. 2. Use the ServerGuide CDs to install the AMD PCNet Ethernet Family adapter device driver. 3. Do not select the Grouping box at this point; you must first restart the machine. 4. From the Windows NT Server desktop, select Control Panel, then select the Network icon, then select the Adapters tab. 5. Highlight one of the adapters that will be in the redundant pair and then click the Properties... button. 6. Check the Grouping box. This will show the possible combinations for redundant pairs. 7. Select the adapter pair you want and then select OK. Note that the integrated Ethernet controller is located at PCI bus A, slot 2. Two options are available for recovering from a failover condition. The options are determined by the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox. If the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package is installed, this checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Adapter Properties panel. If you do not have the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package installed on your server, you will not see the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox. If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is not checked or is not present, traffic will automatically switch back to the primary adapter when the primary link status is restored. In this mode, the adapter cannot be hot-swapped. Users with the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package installed should check the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox. If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is checked, traffic will remain on the secondary adapter until the user directs it to return to the primary adapter. This can be done after the hot-swap replacement of the primary adapter or by using the DMI interface. 8. Select Close to exit from the Network setup. When you restart the server, the failover function will be in effect. If a failover occurs, a message is written to the NT Event Viewer log. In addition, if the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is checked, a DMI alert will also be generated. IntraNetWare: 1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions that are provided with the adapter. 2.
