NetWare installation
In this section we describe what should be considered when installing NetWare 6
on an x440.
Before installing NetWare on x440, ensure that the BIOS and firmware levels
have been updated to the latest level. See 4.1.1,
“
Updating BIOS and firmware

on page 108 for details.
Note:
Attach your RXE-100 to x440 server after the installation of Red Hat
Linux Advanced Server. Also currently only the first six PCI slots are
supported under Red Hat Linux.
