2-3 INSTALLATION GUIDE

We will now begin the installation of the motherboard. Please follow the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct installation.

Warning: Turn off the power to the motherboard, system chassis, and peripheral devices before performing any work on the motherboard or system.

Step 1. Single or Dual CPU Installation

Notice 1 (Dual processor): When installing two processors

(Dual CPU), please make sure the front side bus, working frequency, and the specification number are identical for both processors.

Notice 2 (Single processor): If you are using a single processor, preferably install the processor in Slot2 #1, then insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

Your SY-D6IGA motherboard comes with a DRM (Dual Retention

Mechanism) Assembly. The DRM Assembly is used to hold both

Single or Dual Pentium ® II Xeon ™ & Pentium ® III Xeon™ processors attached to the Slot2 #1 or Slot2 #2 slot connectors on the motherboard.

Follow these instructions to install your Xeon ™ processor correctly.

9


1. Mount the Motherboard on the Computer Chassis

You must first install the SY-D6IGA motherboard on the computer chassis. The motherboard should be bare (without DRM and CPU) and disconnected from any power source.

Position the motherboard with its mounting holes facing the corresponding attachment holes on the chassis and tighten the motherboard mounting screws.

DRM Mounting Holes

Chassis Mounting Holes

2. Check the Parts Required for CPU Installation q Part 1: DRM (Dual Retention Mechanism)

This motherboard is shipped with a DRM (Dual Retention

Mechanism) assembly to hold the single or dual Xeon™ processor in Slot2 #1 and Slot2 #2.

10

Hardware Setup q Part 2: CPU Heat Sink & Fan

SOYO has also included a heavyduty Heat Sink & Fan assembly for better heat dissipation of the CPU.

We recommend that you use this instead of the heat sink that comes with your CPU.

SY-D6IGA q Part 3: FSB Termination Card

The FSB (Front Side Bus)

Termination Card must be inserted in the unoccupied Slot2 connector #2 in a Single processor configuration. If you install only one processor, fit it in Slot2 #1, and insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

FSB Termination Card

(To be inserted in Slot2 #2)

3. Mount the CPU Heat Sink & Fan Assembly

The CPU Heat Sink & Fan assembly provided by SOYO provides better heat dissipation capability. Remove the original heat sink at the back of the CPU SEC cartridge and affix SOYO’ s Heat Sink &

Fan assembly by securing the four mounting screws to the CPU’ s thermal plate.

11

Hardware Setup

4. Install the DRM Assembly

SY-D6IGA

4(a) Locate Slot2 #1 & Slot2 #2 connectors and the DRM mounting holes on the motherboard. Note that Slot2 #1 is located closer to the middle of the motherboard while Slot2

#2 is situated near the edge of the board.

4(b) Attach the two fan cables of the DRM Stand (the one equipped with 2 fans) to the fan power connectors labeled

DRMFAN 1 & 2 on the motherboard.

4(c) Affix this DRM Stand (the one equipped with 2 fans) to the motherboard and then fix the DRM Stand by securing two

DRM mounting screws at the base of the DRM Stand to the chassis.

12


4(d) Mount the second DRM Stand (the one without fans) opposite from the DRM fans (between the back panel connectors and Slot2 sockets) and use two DRM mounting screws to secure its base to the motherboard.

Note: If your system is using two chassis cooling fans, plug the second fan cable to the chassis fan power connector labeled CHAFAN 2, now.

Once the second DRM Stand is mounted, it will block the CHAFAN 2 connector, providing insufficient clearance to either attach or remove the fan power connector cable.

5. Install the First Processor in Slot2 #1

Record the working frequency and specification number of your

CPU that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.

Pentium ® II Xeon ™ Processor Pentium ® III Xeon ™ Processor

400 MHz (100 x 4.0)

450 MHz (100 x 4.5)

500 MHz (100 x 5.0)

550 MHz (100 x 5.5)

S/N: S/N:

13


5(a) Clip the DRM Top onto the processor with the DRM Top mounting holes facing away from the processor’ s heat sink assembly.

5(b) Slide-in the processor into the DRM Assembly and insert it in Slot2 #1, while making sure that the heat sink assembly is facing towards the center of the motherboard.

Important: The Slot2 connector is directionally keyed, and the processor will not go in unless it is properly oriented, as shown in the figure.

5(c) Secure the DRM Top bar to both DRM stands by using two mounting screws.

5(d) Connect the processor cooling fan cable to the CPU fan power connector labeled CPUFAN on the motherboard.

14


6. (Dual Processor Configuration)

Install the Second Processor in Slot2 #2

If you are installing a second processor in Slot2 #2, apply the same procedure as in step 5.

However, in step 5(a), clip the DRM Top onto the processor with the mounting holes facing towards the heat sink.

Notice 1: When installing two processors, make sure the front side bus and working frequency are identical for both processors. Do

NOT install different types of CPU at the same time, for example,

Pentium ® II Xeon ™ (400/450 MHz) and Pentium ® III Xeon™

(500/550 MHz) processors may not work properly when installed together in a dual configuration. We strongly recommend using two processors with the same specification number in dual processor configuration.

Notice 2: If two processors are installed in the DRM assembly, then the clearance between processors will be insufficient and not allow the use of a heat sink & fan assembly on the second processor (the one installed in Slot2 #2). Cooling of the second processors will be provided by the two DRM fans. If you install a heat sink on the second processor, only use a narrow gage heat sink so as not to obstruct the flow of air between the two processors.

7. (Single Processor Configuration)

Install the Termination Card in Slot2 #2

If only one processor is installed in your system, you are required to insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

Note: If you are using a single processor, you must install the processor in Slot 2 #1, then insert the Termination Card in Slot 2

#2, in this order.

15


7(a) Insert the termination card in Slot2 #2, while making sure that the two notches at the base of the card align perfectly with the keys in Slot2 #2 connector.

Important: The Slot2 connector is directionally keyed, and the termination card will not go in unless it is properly oriented, as shown in the figure.

Step 16. Quick BIOS Setup

This motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the

CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP] . The [SOYO COMBO

SETUP] menu combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS.

After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the <DEL> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS SETUP UTILITY will display on screen. Follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.

1. Select [LOAD SETUP DEFAULT]

Select the “ LOAD SETUP DEFAULT” menu and type “ Y” at the prompt to load the BIOS optimal setup.

2. Select [STANDARD CMOS SETUP]

Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to

“Auto”.

Select the working frequency of your

Xeon ™ processor among these preset values.

Note: Mark the checkbox that corresponds to the working frequency of your Xeon ™ processor in case the

CMOS configuration should be lost.

You can also write your own frequency combination in the space provided.

4. Select [SAVE & EXIT SETUP]

Press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

30


Step 17. Power Off

There are two possible ways to turn off the system:

1. Use the Shutdown command in the Start Menu of Windows

95/98 to turn off your computer.

2. Press the mechanical power-button and hold down for over 4 seconds, to shutdown the computer. If you press the powerbutton for less than 4 seconds, then your system will enter into

Suspend Mode.

31


Troubleshooting at First Start

l What should I do if the motherboard refuses to start?

The 350MHz setting is used as default so whenever the BIOS settings are erased or reset, the board will be able to boot up.

If the CPU speed was set too high and the motherboard refuses to start up, you can always load the default values by pressing the [Ins] key during boot up.

l Over-clocking may cause system malfunctions!

The SY-D6IGA motherboard provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking setting your system may fail to boot up or hang during run time. If this occurs, please perform the following steps to recover your system from the abnormal situation:

1. Turn off system power. (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your system, you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut down the system.)

2. Press and hold down the <Insert> key while turning on the system power. Keep holding down the <Insert> key until you see the message of the CPU type and frequency (133MHz or

200MHz) appear on screen.

3. Press the <Del> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program.

4. From the BIOS main menu, select [SOYO COMBO SETUP] and move the cursor to the [CPU Frequency] field to set the proper working frequency.

5. Select [Save & Exit SETUP] and press <Enter> to save the configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

Note: SOYO does not guarantee system stability if the user over clocks the system. Any malfunctions due to over-clocking are not covered by the warranty.

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

Chapter 4

DRIVERS INSTALLATION

Your SY-D6IGA Motherboard comes with a CD-ROM labeled

"SOYO CD." The SOYO CD contains the user's manual file for your new motherboard, the drivers software available for installation, and a database in HTML format with information on SOYO motherboards and other products.

The SOYO CD Start Up Program automatically detects which SOYO motherboard you own and displays the corresponding model name.

Step 1. Insert the SOYO CD into the CD-ROM drive

The SOYO CD will auto-run, and the SOYO CD Start Up Menu will display as shown below.

67


Step 2. Install Drivers

Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers software that can be installed with your motherboard. The Start Up program displays the drivers available for the particular model of motherboard you own. We recommend that you only install those drivers.

To display the list of all drivers software available with SOYO motherboards, click the Display all drivers on the SOYO CD button.

Please make sure to install only the drivers adapted to your system, or otherwise this cause system malfunctions.

The following drivers are available for Windows ® 95 .

68

Drivers Installation

The following drivers are available for Windows ® 98.

SY-D6IGA

A short description of all available drivers follows:

Ø Intel Southbridge Drivers

Because Windows 95 does not recognize the Southbridge of the newer Intel chipsets (TX, BX, ZX etc) this utility has to be run, it will update the necessary Windows files. (Only for Windows 95)

Ø SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster Driver for Win 95/98

Without the busmaster drivers the CPU will need to be involved every time data is read from or written to the Harddisk. The busmaster drivers make use of DMA (Direct Memory Access) to relieve the CPU of this burden, thus speeding up the system.

The SOYO SpeedPro driver makes use of an advanced caching algorithm, which gives it an advantage over other busmaster drivers.

Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for Windows 95

Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for Win NT

69


Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for OS/2

These are the official busmaster drivers as supplied by Intel.

Note: Do NEVER install two types of busmaster drivers on your system, this will lead to conflicts and system instability.

Therefore, if you install the SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster driver you can NOT install the Intel Busmaster drivers.

Before installing a new busmaster driver first UNINSTALL the old busmaster driver.

Ø Intel LAN PRO/100+ Installation Help

These are the electronic help files as provided by Intel, for more information on the installation of the Intel LAN PRO/100+ drivers, select this item and click ‘ OK’ .

Ø SOYO CD Xpress Utility

This utility will enhance your CD-ROM Drive data-thoughput by using space on the Harddisk as cache. This way application programs can access data faster. This utility is suitable for Windows

95/98.

Ø Winbond hardware doctor for Windows xx

Your motherboard comes with a hardware monitoring IC. By installing this utility Temperature, Fan speed and Voltages can be monitored. It is also possible to set alarms when current system values exceed or fall below pre-set values.

Because the Hardware monitor comes with default monitoring settings that may not be appropriate to the configuration of the actual system, it is possible that the user will have to change some of these settings.

l Core voltage

The core voltage differs between generations of Intel CPUs, if the

Hardware monitor gives a warning, the settings for the safe range of the core voltage has to be adjusted. This can be done by simply clicking and dragging the upper and lower limit bars.

70


For example:

Newer Slot 1 CPUs have a core voltage of 2.0V. Therefore, set the

CPU Vcore limits to 1.8V and 2.2V. For 2.8V core voltage CPUs the limits would be 2.6V and 3.0V.

l Fan speed

The Hardware monitor can keep track of three fans. If the user does not use all fans, the fans that are not in use should be disabled in the

Hardware monitor program, Otherwise the Hardware monitor will give an alarm. If this happens, make sure to disable monitoring for that fan.

Note 1: EZ-SCSI Utility

The SOYO CD contains a SCSI utility (EZ-SCSI) for use with the onboard Adaptec ® SCSI chip. The EZ-SCSI Utility is located in the

\drivers\EZ-SCSI directory and is suitable for DOS or Windows 3.1

environment only. The manual file in PDF format for the EZ-SCSI

Utility can be found at the following location: \Manual\EZ-SCSI.pdf

.

Note 2: However, to display the list of all drivers software available with SOYO Motherboards, click the Display all drivers on the

SOYO CD button. Please make sure to install only the drivers adapted to your system, or otherwise this cause system malfunctions.

Step 3. Check the Latest Releases

Click the 'Check the latest Releases' button to go the SOYO

Website to automatically find the latest BIOS, manual and driver releases for your motherboard. This button will only work if your computer is connected to the internet through a network or modem connection. Make sure to get your modem connection up before clicking this button.

71


Step 4. Select which driver you want to install and click

OK

Notice 1: You may click Cancel to abort the driver installation and return to the main menu.

Notice 2: Once you have selected a driver, the system will automatically exit the SOYO CD to begin the driver installation program. When the installation is complete, most drivers require you to restart your system before they can become active.

Changing Adapter Settings with PROSet ™

There are two ways to run PROSet which allows changing the adapter settings.

l From the Control Panel, double-click on the [PROSet] icon.

l From the Control Panel , double-click on the [Network] icon, select the Adapters tab, and double-click on the "Intel(R)

PRO/100+ PCI Adapter" .

From the main PROSet menu, you can click the Advanced tab to view and modify adapter settings. The defaults work correctly for most configurations. The following table lists the PROSet parameters that can be configured in the Advanced menu.

PROSet

Parameter

Description

Speed

Recommended

Setting

[Auto Detect]

(default)

This parameter lets the PRO/100+ adapter know what speed to use on the Ethernet connection. The choices are 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and Auto Detect.

In Auto Detect mode, the adapter detects if its networking environment can support 100

Mbps speed. It then sets the speed to 100Mbps if so, or otherwise to 10Mbps.

Note: If you want to choose a Duplex Mode other than Auto Detect, you must set the speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

Duplex

Recommended

Setting

[Auto Detect]

Auto Detect

Auto Detect: The adapter negotiates with the hub or switch how to send/ receive packets, either full or half duplex.

Full-Duplex: The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time. This improves the performance of your adapter. Set duplex mode to full duplex only if you have a switch that also supports full duplex.

Half-Duplex: The adapter performs one operation at a time. It either sends or receives.

Note: In order to allow changing the Duplex mode, you must set the Speed to either 10

Mbps or 100 Mbps.

The PRO/100+ adapter has the ability to send and receive packets at the same time

(full-duplexing) at both 10 and 100 Mbps. In order to reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex hub or switch.

The PRO/100+ adapter has the added ability to "talk" to the hub or switch and determine at which mode to communicate (either full or half duplex). This is called autonegotiation.

You must have an auto-negotiating hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex Mode set to Auto. If you don't have an auto-negotiating hub or switch and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set the SPEED parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.

The PRO/100B T4 adapter can not operate in full duplex mode at 100 Mbps.

The PRO/10+ PCI adapter can only operate in full duplex mode at 10 Mbps and only on the TPE connector. The PRO/10+ PCI adapter does not support auto-negotiation; it will run at half duplex unless forced.

Other Settings For information on other settings in the PROSet Advanced tab, use PROSet's context-sensitive online help.

Netware 3.12 and 4.10 Server Driver

Installation Notes

SY-D6IGA

Location of driver: \NWSERVER\3X4X.OLD\E100B.LAN

(ODI Assembly Specification version 3.3)

Location of NLMs: On Novell's automated services

(ODI33F.EXE or greater)

Note: ODI33x.EXE

is a Novell archive that contains the latest server

NLMs and support files. The x in ODI33x.EXE

is subject to change with each new release of the archive.

These instructions are for use with the ODI Assembly Specification v3.31 NLMs.

The \NWSERVER\E100B.LAN

driver on this disk is written to this specification. To load the driver on NetWare 4.10 or

3.12 requires updated ETHERTSM, MSM and the new NBI.NLM.

Obtain these files from Novell's automated services.

l For NetWare 4.10:

Ø NBI.NLM (ver 1.64, 08/29/97 or newer)

Ø MSM.NLM (ver 3.71, 12/02/97 or newer)

Ø ETHERTSM.NLM (ver 3.61, 12/08/97 or newer) l For NetWare 3.12:

Ø NBI31X.NLM (ver 1.64, 08/29/97 or newer)

Ø MSM31X.NLM (ver 3.71, 12/02/97 or newer)

Ø ETHERTSM.NLM (ver 3.61, 12/08/97 or newer)

Notice1: NBI.NLM (or NBI31X.NLM) must be loaded before MSM and ETHERTSM.

Notice2: NetWare 3.12 needs MSM31X.NLM

renamed to

MSM.NLM.

89


Important: When using command line options with the .LAN

driver for NWSERVER, make sure the equal sign is followed by a value.

Otherwise, unpredictable results may occur.


1. Install NetWare 3.12

or 4.10

according to the NetWare instructions.

2. Copy the PRO/100+ server driver (\NWSERVER\E100B.LAN) and any updated NLMs, to the NetWare server's hard drive.

l If you can't log in to the server (before starting the server) copy the E100B.LAN driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the Configuration and Drivers disk to the root directory of the server's hard drive.

l If you can log into the server, copy the driver to the

SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

3. Start the server. At the server console, load NBI, MSM and

ETHERTSM (for NetWare 3.12

load NBI31X, MSM31X and

ETHERTSM ) in this order.

Next, load and bind the server driver as follows:

LOAD C:<PATH>\E100B SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

BIND IPX TO E100B NET=xxxxxxxx

Where:

SLOT=x Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number. Substitute x with the valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted with the slot number(s) of installed PRO/100+ adapters. The NBI numbers are different from the slot number indicated in the SETUP.EXE

utility.

90


NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment.

The default frame type is 802.2

. If your workstation needs to use the 802.3

frame type, see the section later in this document about using multiple frame types on one adapter.

4. Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's

AUTOEXEC.NCF

file so the PRO/100+ adapter driver loads automatically each time the server starts.

Hints and tips

1. If the error message:

"Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>" is encountered then:

Upgrade the ETHERTSM.NLM

and MSM31x.NLM

and be sure to rename MSM31x.NLM

to MSM.NLM.

2. Installing multiple adapters:

If you have multiple adapters in a single server, each adapter must have a different NET number and SLOT number. Also, you may want to name each adapter. For example:

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 NAME=LAN_A

BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=4 NAME=LAN_B

BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

3. If you have problems loading the driver on multiple adapters and the initialization fails due to "Insufficient RCBs," increase the number of buffers allocated to the server. Add the following to STARTUP.NCF:

SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 100 (or larger)

SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 500 (or larger)

91


The MINIMUM value you specify must be at least 30 times the number of PRO/100+ adapters in the computer. Recommended settings are:

1-3 adapters: 100

4 adapters: 150

The MAXIMUM you can specify depends on the amount of memory in the server, but it must be greater than the

MINIMUM.

4. Installing one adapter with multiple frame types:

When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a

LOAD and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement uses the same SLOT number, but each BIND statement needs a unique network number.

You must also include a name on each load line to avoid being prompted for the adapter to bind IPX to.

Example:

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022

BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888



5. Optional LOAD line parameters:

See the NetWare Server Parameters readme (NWPARAM.TXT) for additional information.

Overview

NetWare 3.11

requires an ODI 3.2 Assembly Specification driver.

This driver is in the \NWSERVER\311LAN\ directory of the

Configuration and Drivers disk. The directory contains the following files: l E100B.LAN (3.2 spec server driver) l E100B.LDI (Installation file) l NW311.TXT (This file)

Sample Load Commands

Ø LOAD C:<PATH>\PATCHMAN

Ø LOAD C:<PATH>\LSLENH

Ø LOAD C:<PATH>\MSM

Ø LOAD C:<PATH>\ETHERTSM

Ø LOAD C:<PATH>\E100B SLOT=n FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3

Ø BIND IPX TO E100B NET=xxxxxxxx

93



1. Install NetWare 3.11 according to the NetWare 3.11 installation manual.

2. Copy the E100B.LAN

server driver and any updated NLMs to the NetWare server's hard drive.

l If you can't log in to the server (before starting the server) copy the E100B.LAN

driver to the root directory of the server's hard drive.

l If you can log into the server, copy the files to the SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

3. Modify the server's STARTUP.NCF

to pre-allocate server buffers with the following:

SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 2048 (or larger)

4. Start the server. At the server console, issue the load and bind statement.

LOAD C:<PATH>\PATCHMAN

LOAD C:<PATH>\LSLENH

LOAD C:<PATH>\MSM

LOAD C:<PATH>\ETHERTSM

LOAD C:<PATH>\E100B SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3

BIND IPX TO E100B NET=xxxxxxxx

Where:

SLOT=x specifies the PCI device number.

Substitute x with the valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted if you don't specify a slot number.

NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment.

The default frame type is 802.2.

If your workstations needs to use the 802.3

frame type, see the section later in this document about using multiple frame types on one adapter.

94


5. Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's

AUTOEXEC.NCF

file so the PRO/100+ adapter driver loads automatically each time the server starts.

Hints and Tips

1. Installing multiple adapters:

If you have multiple adapters in a single server, each adapter must have a different NET number and SLOT number. Also, you may want to name each adapter. For example:

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 NAME=LAN_A

BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=4 NAME=LAN_B

BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

2. If you have problems loading the driver on multiple adapters and the initialization fails due to "Insufficient RCBs," increase the number of buffers allocated to the server.

Add the following to STARTUP.NCF:

SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 100 (or larger)

SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 500 (or larger)

The MINIMUM value you specify must be at least 30 times the number of PRO/100+ adapters in the computer.

Recommended settings are:

1-3 adapters: 100

4 adapters: 150

The MAXIMUM you can specify depends on the amount of memory in the server, but it must be greater than the

MINIMUM.

3. Installing one adapter with multiple frame types:

When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a

LOAD and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement uses the same SLOT number, but each BIND statement needs a unique network number.

95


You must also include a name on each load line to avoid being prompted for the board to bind IPX to.

Example:





4. Optional LOAD line parameters:

Netware Client 32 for Windows 95

SY-D6IGA

Use of Client 32 for Windows 95 with the 32-bit ODI driver is no longer supported by Novell or Intel.

While it may still work, no testing or effort has been made to validate it. Please use the appropriate

NDIS driver for Client 32.

Netware Client 32 for DOS/Windows 3.1x


1. From the Novell NetWare Client 32 software, run

INSTALL.EXE.

2. Select the NetWare Client 32 products you want to install on your workstation from the list:

[X] NetWare Client 32 for DOS

[X] NetWare Client 32 for Windows

[ ] NetWare TCP/IP protocol stack

[ ] NetWare IP (TCP/IP Required)

[ ] Desktop SNMP

[ ] HOSTMIB for SNMP (SNMP Required)

[ ] NetWare TSA for SMS

Note: "NetWare Client 32 for DOS" and "NetWare Client 32 for

Windows" are usually selected by default.

3. From the Customize Support for Windows menu, specify if you want to use multiple country codes or if you want to set the shared Windows path. The default for both of these is [NO].

4. From the Select LAN Driver Type menu, select "32-bit LAN drivers".

97


5. From the 32-Bit Network Board Drivers menu, select:

"USER SPECIFIED 32 BIT DRIVER".

Insert the driver diskette and type “<drive>:\NWSERVER” .

Select:

"Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ LAN Adapter"

6. (Optional) Specify the following settings for the PRO/100+ adapter:

Parameter

Speed (100B only)

IOMAPMODE

Forceduplex

Frame Type

0 (auto detect)

Default

Memory Mapped

0 (auto negotiate)

Ethernet_802.2

Ethernet_802.3

Note: The default settings will work for most installations. If you use multiple frame types, please see Hints and Tips section below.

7. From the Installation Configuration Summary, verify the default settings for Client 32 are correct, or modify as necessary.

Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS:

Client Directory: C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32

[YES]

Windows Directory:

LAN driver type:

LAN driver:

C:\WINDOWS

32-bit LAN drivers

Intel EtherExpress ™ PCI Adapters

8. Novell NetWare will now copy the files to your workstations and modify the configuration files to match your selected configuration.

98


Hints and tips

1. If you are using multiple frame types, you will get the following message when you load the driver:

"Do you want to load another frame type for a previously loaded board? Y/N"

The way to avoid this is to add the slot number to the load line for the driver in the STARTNET.BAT

(by default it is located in the \NOVELL\CLIENT32 directory). The only way to determine the slot number Novell is expecting is to put an invalid value on the load line. For example (and the load line should be all on one line):

LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\E100B.LAN SPEED=0 IOMAPMODE=0

FORCEDUPLEX=0 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 SLOT=e

When you next reboot, you will be prompted with the correct value.

Modify the STARTNET.CFG

again, and use that value. If the slot is not specified correctly, only the first frame type will load.

You can remove the parameters for Speed, Forceduplex and

Iomapmode if you want to use the default. This may make your

STARTNET.BAT

file easier to use.

2. Check for a LASTDRIVE statement in the CONFIG.SYS

file.

You must have LASTDRIVE=Z in config.sys

when using Client

32.

3. Verify that you have FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F in the

NET.CFG

file under the NetWare DOS Requester section.

Note: NET.CFG

is position sensitive, so be careful to indent lines with one space or one tab as shown above in the example.

4. Verify that the PRO/100+ adapter passes the diagnostics test by running SETUP.EXE

on the Configuration and Drivers disk.

If the adapter fails diagnostics it will not function correctly running Client 32.

99


5. Using 16-bit ODI driver with Client 32 requires CLIENT32.NLM

dated 10/09/96 or later. The driver will not load with older versions.

6. If you encounter the error message:

“An attempt to load E100B.LAN failed because the module references an undefined external: MSMHardwareFailure" when the driver loads, you need to update the NetWare client files. Download ODI33x.EXE

(where x=latest revision number) from Novell's electronic services and run the update utility.

To connect an OS/2 workstation to a NetWare server, you must have the latest version of the Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2 and the

PRO/100+ adapter OS/2 ODI driver.

These installation instructions assume you're using the INSTALL program that ships with Novell's OS/2 requester.

For more information about OS/2 workstations, see the Novell manual,

"NetWare Requester for OS/2."

Note: If you're running IBM OS/2 2.0, 2.1

or Warp, you must have the OS/2 Requester version 2.01

or later.

Before You Begin

If your adapter was shipped with a CD, you can create an installation diskette from the CD before starting the installation procedure. Put the CD into your CD-ROM drive and a blank formatted diskette into a diskette drive. Run the MAKENW.BAT

from the MAKEDISK directory on your CD. The command syntax is

MAKENW <source drive> <destination diskette>.

Example; “MAKENW D: A:”


1. Run Novell's INSTALL utility on the OS/2 requester disk and follow its instructions. If asked for the name of the network interface driver, enter “E100BODI.SYS” .

2. Choose the session support you need. This is based on your configuration. See the NetWare Requester manual if you need help.

3. Save the configuration.

101


4. When asked for the path and filename for the driver, insert the

Configuration and Drivers disk into the drive and press

<Enter>.

5. After completing the installation section, choose

CONFIGURATION from the main menu. Then choose THIS

WORKSTATION.

This allows you to modify the NET.CFG

file.

( NET.CFG

must reside in the root directory.)

Note: The default frame type for E100BODI.SYS

is 802.2.

If you're using the 802.3

frame type, you have to include a FRAME statement in the NET.CFG

file. List the 802.3 FRAME type first in the NET.CFG

file.

Netware DOS ODI Client Driver Installation Notes

Quick Installation

Use the Automatic setup option in the SETUP utility on the

Configuration and Drivers disk to quickly and easily install the ODI driver using NETX.

For workstations using VLM 's, see the VLM client section below.

Note: This version of E100BODI.COM

requires VLM client version

1.21

or higher. You can download this version from Novell's electronic services.

It is comprised of 6 archives named

VLM121_x.EXE

where x equals 1-6.

General Installation for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Clients

All the files necessary to connect to the NetWare servers are supplied on the Configuration and Drivers disk. Newer versions of the shell files (LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE) may be available from Novell.

1. From the \DOS directory on the Configuration and Drivers disk, copy the following files onto your hard drive:

LSL.COM, E100BODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE, and NET.CFG.

2. Add the commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT

file as shown above under the Sample Configuration Files section. Make sure you change to the subdirectory where the drivers are loaded before executing the files.

In the example above, the drivers are located in the

NWCLIENT subdirectory.

103


3. Edit the NET.CFG

file per your requirements.

l If you don't know which frame type to load, type

“CONFIG” at your file server console to see which frame type your file server is loading and load one of these frame types on the workstation.

l If you list two or more NetWare frame types in the

NET.CFG, the first frame type will bind to the IPX protocol.

l The NET.CFG

file should be in the same directory as the adapter driver.

l If you're running EMM386, make sure you are using v4.49

or later. It's the version that ships with DOS 6.22.

4. Reboot the computer and the drivers will load and connect you to the network.

General Instructions for IntranetWare 4.11 Client with VLMs

The installation of the NetWare 4.11

client software is much easier than earlier versions. The installation procedure transfers files to a specific directory on the workstation and creates or modifies existing configuration files to fit your specific needs. The installation utility,

INSTALL.EXE, is located on the IntranetWare distribution CD in

\PRODUCTS\VLM\IBM_6 (or \PRODUCTS\VLMIP\IBM_6 for the

TCP/IP client).

The install program is also located in \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN on the server. NetWare 3.12

does not automatically create this directory on the server during installation.

104


General Instructions for NetWare 4.1/3.12 Client with VLMs

Installation procedure for NetWare 4.1/3.12 client with VLMs

1. Run INSTALL.EXE

on the workstation you are configuring. It can be found on the NetWare Workstation for DOS disk.

Note: INSTALL.EXE

must be version 1.22

or greater. This version is supplied with IntranetWare 4.11.

2. The NetWare Client Install program screen appears. You must complete each of the options as they are specific to your needs.

l Step #1: Specifies the directory on the hard drive that you want to install the client software. The default directory is

C:\NWCLIENT.

You can specify another directory if you desire.

l Step #2: Gives you the option to automatically update the

CONFIG.SYS

and the AUTOEXEC.BAT

files or modify them at a later time manually.

l Step #3: Installs Windows software for your system if your workstation supports Windows and asks you to specify the directory where Windows is located. You will also have the option to customize for Windows.

l Step #4: Gives you the option to configure your workstation for backup by a NetWare server.

l Step #5: Asks you to select a network driver and provide configuration options. It uses the specifications you select to create the NET.CFG

file. Do NOT select a Driver from the list Novell provides, rather choose OTHER DRIVER and insert the PRO/100+ adapter Configuration and

Drivers disk. Select the Intel PRO/100+ LAN Adapter.

105


There are four configurable settings:

Ø Frame Type: You must set the frame type to match the file server.

Note: If Duplex Mode is set to [full], the Line Speed defaults to [10 Mbps]. Also, the PRO/100B T4 and

PRO/10+ PCI adapters do not support [auto-negotiate].

Ø Line Speed: (Optional) Sets the line speed to either [10] or [100] Mbps. If you don't use this parameter, the driver automatically detects the network speed.

l Step #6: The install program copies the appropriate files to your hard drive. This is the final step.

3. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS

file and

FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=F in the NET.CFG

file under the

Netware DOS Requester section.

Netware Client Services for Windows NT 4.0

Using ODI Server Driver

Use of Client 32 for Windows NT with the 32-bit ODI driver is no longer supported by Novell or Intel. While it may still work, no testing or effort has been made to validate it. Please use the appropriate

NDIS driver for Client 32.

Installing the eeE Driver

SY-D6IGA

SCO3: SCO OpenDeskTop driver (eeE.img)

Instructions for installing the eeE Driver (eeE.img) for SCO

OpenDeskTop.

1. Copy the eee.img

file to any directory, such as /tmp, on the

SCO system.

2. Transfer the file to a 3.5-inch floppy disk using “dd” command.

For example:

# dd if=/tmp/eee.img of=/dev/dsk/f03ht

3. If there is an older version of the eeE driver on the system, you must first remove it. To do this, run NETCONFIG.

Remove all instances of the "Intel ..." adapters. Exit NETCONFIG without opting to relink the kernel. Run CUSTOM.

Remove the older

Intel adapter driver.

4. Using CUSTOM, install the new driver from the floppy disk.

After the installation of the driver is complete, exit CUSTOM.

5. Run NETCONFIG.

Add the adapters. For each adapter that is present in the system, enter the appropriate TCP/IP parameters. Exit NETCONFIG and choose to relink the kernel.

6. Reboot the system.

Note: The adapter automatically detects the link speed and duplex mode.

If you want to force any of these settings, edit the file

“/etc/conf/pack.d/eeE/space.c”.

Modify the value of the

[eeE_LineSpeedDuplex] variable to set the line speed and duplex mode for each board in the system. (The space.c

file has the values for setting this variable). Save the file. Rebuild the Unix kernel using

IDBUILD and reboot the system.

Caution: This should be done by expert Unix system users only.

108


SCO5: SCO OpenServer driver (eeE.vol)

Instructions for installing the eeE (eeE.vol) Driver for SCO

OpenServer.

1. Copy the eee.vol

file to any directory, say /tmp, on the SCO system, renaming the file as VOL.000.000.

Also, make the file read-only by using CHMOD.

For example:

# cp eee.vol /tmp/VOL.000.000

# chmod 444 /tmp/VOL.000.000

2. If there is an older version of the eeE driver on the system, you must first remove it. To do this, run NETCONFIG.

Remove all instances of the "Intel ..." adapters. Exit NETCONFIG without opting to relink the kernel. Run CUSTOM.

Remove the older driver for the Intel adapter.

3. Install the new driver using CUSTOM.

When asked for the installation media, choose [media images], and type the directory path to the VOL.000.000

file. (In step 1, if if you copied it to /tmp, type “/tmp” ). After the installation of the driver is complete, exit CUSTOM.

4. Run NETCONFIG and add the adapters. For each adapter that is present in the system, enter the appropriate TCP/IP parameters. By default, the driver automatically detects the line speed and duplex mode.

If you want to force any of these settings, choose [Advanced Options] and set the speed and duplex modes. Exit NETCONFIG and choose to relink the kernel.


109


UW2: UnixWare 2.x driver (eeE.pkg)

To install the eeE driver for UnixWare 2.x:

1. Copy the eee.pkg

file into any directory on the UnixWare system, such as in the /tmp directory.

2. Make sure no other users are logged on and all user applications are closed.

3. If there is an older version of the eeE driver on the system, first run NICCFG and remove any configured NICs.

Exit NICCFG .

Remove the old driver by typing “pkgrm eeE”.

(You can find the driver version by typing “pkginfo -l eeE” .)

4. Install the new driver using PKGADD.

For example:

# pkgadd -d /tmp/eee.pkg

5. Run NICCFG to add the NICs to the system. (Sometimes,

NICCFG might bring up a window with an error message saying that it could not find the adapter that is being configured.

If this happens, ignore the error and continue. When the system reboots in step 7, the driver should find the adapter.)

6. Run etc/inet/menu to configure TCP/IP parameters.










110


UW7: UnixWare 7 driver (eeE.pkg)

To install the eeE driver for UnixWare 7:

1. Copy the eee.pkg

SY-D6IGA

ULTRA2 SCSI I/O SUBSYSTEM

Note: For details on how to perform the SCSI driver installation, refer to the “Adaptec ® 7800 Family Manager Set User’ s Guide” included on the

Installation CD-ROM that comes with your motherboard. You may also obtain additional SCSI driver information by visiting Adaptec ® ’ s Web site at: http://www.adaptec.com

Follow the instructions in Adaptec’ s SCSI driver installation guide to install the SCSI driver specific to your system: l Microsoft Windows NT ® l IBM OS/2 l Microsoft Windows ® 95 l Novell NetWare l SCO UNIX l SCO UnixWare

6-1 INTRODUCTION TO ULTRA2 SCSI

Your new SYD6IGA high-performance motherboard is equipped with the onboard Adaptec ® AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter for your high bandwidth applications, providing data transfer rates of up to 80 Mbytes per second. The Ultra-wide SCSI is an input/output bus interface that provides a powerful multitasking interface between your computer’ s PCI bus and your SCSI devices.

With SCSI, you can connect a variety of devices on your computer

(Hard/Floppy Disk Drives, CD-ROM Drives, Scanners, Tape Drives,

Removable Media Drives, etc.) in a daisy-chain topology to a common host adapter. Daisy-chaining SCSI devices allows them to communicate with each other by sending commands and data via the SCSI bus.

The AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter provides maximum data transfer rates of 20 Mbytes/sec in the narrow 8-bit mode (Fast SCSI),

40 Mbytes/sec in the wide 16-bit mode (Ultra-wide SCSI), and 80

Mbytes/sec with Ultra2 SCSI.

112

Ultra2 SCSI I/O Subsystem SY-D6IGA

6-2 INSTALLING SCSI DEVICES

Your motherboard features three internal SCSI connectors onboard, and comes with one 50-pin flat cable, one 68-pin flat cable, and one

68-pin Ultra2 flat cable with terminator.

6-2.1 50-pin Fast SCSI Connector

50-pin Fast SCSI internal connector

Narrow SCSI bus allows data transfer rates of up to 20 Mbytes/sec.

With Narrow SCSI, you can connect up to 7 internal Fast SCSI devices to the 50-pin Fast SCSI connector on the motherboard. Use the enclosed Narrow SCSI cable to connect up to 2 internal SCSI devices.

If you are connecting more than 2 internal SCSI devices, you must use an internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate all your devices. Contact your dealer for special cable service.

When Fast SCSI devices are connected to the bus, the total length of all cables is not to exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft.) to ensure reliable operation.

6-2.2 68-pin Ultra-Wide SCSI Connector

68-pin Ultra-Wide SCSI internal connector

Ultra-Wide SCSI bus allows you to connect up to 15 devices (7

Narrow internal and 8 Wide internal or external SCSI devices, or 15

Wide internal or external SCSI devices) to the 68-pin Ultra-Wide

SCSI connector on the motherboard. Devices that connect to the

16-bit Wide SCSI bus can transfer data at the maximum rate of 40

Mbytes/sec.

113

Ultra2 SCSI I/O Subsystem

6-2.3 68-pin Ultra2 SCSI II Connector

SY-D6IGA

68-pin Ultra2 SCSI II internal connector

Ultra2 SCSI bus allows you to connect up to 15 devices (7 Narrow internal and 8 Wide internal or external SCSI devices, or 15 Wide internal or external SCSI devices) to the 68-pin Ultra-Wide SCSI connector on the motherboard. Devices that connect to the 32-bit

Wide SCSI bus can transfer data at the maximum rate of 80

Mbytes/sec.

6-3 CONNECTING INTERNAL SCSI DEVICES

If you are connecting several internal SCSI devices (more than 2

SCSI drives), make sure you have an internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate all of your devices. The enclosed 50-pin and 68-pin SCSI flat cables can each serve up to 2

SCSI drives while the 68-pin Ultra2 SCSI cable can accommodate up to 4 SCSI drives.

Follow these steps to ensure a proper installation of your internal

SCSI devices:

1. Prepare each CD-ROM drive for installation; configure the device SCSI ID and terminators ( terminate the last internal device attached to the cable by setting its termination to the ON position; all other internal devices on the SCSI bus must have their termination set to OFF).

Note: The 68-pin Ultra2 SCSI cable is already equipped with a

Terminator, therefore you do not need terminate the last SCSI drive. All SCSI device terminations must set to OFF when using this particular cable.

2. Install the CD-ROM drive in your computer.

114

Ultra2 SCSI I/O Subsystem SY-D6IGA

3. Plug the connector at one end of the internal SCSI cable into the host adapter’ s SCSI connector on the motherboard.

Note: Make sure the cable’ s colored stripe is aligned with pin-1 of the host adapter’ s connector. Pin-1 of the SCSI connector is usually designated by a small triangle ( s ), or a “ 1” at one corner of the connector.

4. Connect the remaining connectors on the cable to the SCSI devices (CD-ROM drives, etc.).

Note: Make sure the cable’ s colored stripe is aligned with pin-1 of the SCSI device’ s connector.

5. Connect a DC power cable (from your computer’ s power supply) to the power connector on each SCSI device.
