Installing the Server Driver29Installing Multiple NICsTo support more than one NIC in a NetWare server, change the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to thefollowing format:load C:\NWSERVER\3C90XC.LAN slot= NAME=FRAME=bind ipx to net=load C:\NWSERVER\3C90XC.LAN slot= NAME=FRAME=bind ipx to net=The values and are the numbers of the PCI slots in which the NICs arephysically installed. To view the numbers of these PCI slots, use the 3Com Configurationand Diagnostic program for DOS. See “Verifying the PCI Slot Number” on page 29for instructions.The values and are unique names assigned to each NIC by yoursystem administrator. The values and must be different.The frame parameters and can be one of the following: Ethernet_802.2 Ethernet_802.3 Ethernet_II Ethernet_SNAPMake sure that the frametype for the server and the workstation is the same. For example,if the server uses Ethernet_802.2, the workstation must also use Ethernet_802.2.The values and are unique numbers assigned by the system administratorto each NIC. Make sure that and are different numbers.Refer to the appropriate Novell NetWare manuals for further information.Verifying the PCI Slot NumberTo verify the PCI slot number in which a NIC is installed:1 Boot the NetWare server with the -na option.This boot prevents the AUTOEXEC.NCF file from loading. For example, enter:server -na2 Issue the load command for the NIC LAN driver without a slot parameter.For example, enter:load c:\nwserver\3C90XC.LAN3 NetWare lists the valid slot number(s) for the NIC, depending on how many NICs areinstalled. The values appearing in the list are the slot values that you should use.
