Copy the file PCNETOS2.EXE from the OS2 directory of the diskette created by the ServerGuide program to the 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. Configuring Failover on Windows NT 1. Install the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Installing or removing adapters" on page 57. 2. Use the ServerGuide CDs to install the AMD PCNet Ethernet Family adapter device driver. 3. From the Windows NT desktop, select Control Panel, then select the Network icon, then the Adapters tab. 4.

Install the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Installing or removing adapters" on page 57. 2. Load the device driver by using the following command: LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=x SECONDARY=y where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located, and x and y are the PCI slot numbers where the redundant pair is located.

The integrated controller is
located in slot 9.

To enable the writing of messages to the
IBMCOM\LANTRAN.LOG file when a failover occurs:
a.
Copy the file PCNETOS2.EXE from the OS2
directory of the diskette created by the
ServerGuide program to the 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.
Configuring Failover on Windows NT
1.
Install the redundant NIC adapter according to the
instructions provided with the adapter and in
“Installing or removing adapters” on page
57.
2.
Use the ServerGuide CDs to install the AMD PCNet
Ethernet Family adapter device driver.
3.
From the Windows NT desktop, select
Control Panel
,
then select the
Network
icon, then the
Adapters
tab.
4.
Highlight one of the adapters that will be in the
redundant pair and then select the
Properties...
button.
5.
Check the
Grouping
box.
This will show the possible
combinations for redundant pairs.
6.
Select the adapter pair you want and then select
OK
.
Note that the integrated Ethernet controller is located
at PCI bus 1, slot 9.
7.
Select
Close
to exit from the Network setup.
When you restart the server, the failover function will

was run), a pop-up message is generated also.
Configuring Failover on IntraNetWare
1.
Install the redundant NIC adapter according to the
instructions provided with the adapter and in
“Installing or removing adapters” on page
57.
2.
Load the device driver by using the following
command:
LOAD
d
:
\
path
\
PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=
x
SECONDARY=
y
where
d
and
path
are the drive and path where the
driver is located, and
x
and
y
are the PCI slot
numbers where the redundant pair is located.
The slot number associated with the integrated
Ethernet controller can vary depending upon the
