local network. When the primary adapter fails, the secondary

adapter then handles the network traffic until the primary adapter is

restored. Proceed with the installation as outlined by Novell.

Installing the

Drivers

1. At the file server console prompt, issue the load statement(s) in this

order:

LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\NBI

LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\MSM

LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\ETHERTSM

LOAD <DRIVE>:<PATH>\<DRIVER>

where <DRIVE> and <PATH> are the drive and directory where you

copied the NLMs and the adapter file. <DRIVER> is the filename of

the adapter driver.

Note

If MSM and ETHERTSM NLMs are not loaded, they'll automatically

load before the driver.

You will be prompted if you do not specify a SLOT number.

2. Next you must bind the LAN driver to IPX in order to attach to the

server. Type:

BIND IPX TO <DRIVER> NET=n

Where <DRIVER> is the filename of the adapter driver and n is the

node address Novell uses for routing IPX packets. This number is

arbitrary if there is the only one server on the network, but if there

are multiple servers on the same network, it must match the other

servers' external network number.
