## Installing the Driver

Before installing, review the Support Pack requirements in System Requirements.

Driver name: CE1000.LAN in the \NWSERVER folder

| NOTE: Prior to installing, either load DOS or NetWare drivers for your server's CD-ROM drive or create a floppy disk from the Intel CD on a different computer. Go to Making a Floppy Disk section.

1. From the NetWare console, type NWCONFIG or "Load Install" and press <Enter>.

2. From the Configuration Options screen, choose "Driver options" and press <Enter>.

3. Choose "Configure network drivers" and press <Enter>. If any drivers are already loaded, a list of them appears.

4. Choose "Load an additional driver" and press <Enter>. A list of drivers appears.

5. Insert the Intel CD or floppy disk you've created and choose "Install an unlisted driver" by pressing <Insert>.

6. If you're using a floppy disk, insert the disk in drive A and press <Enter>. If you've mounted the CD as a NetWare volume, press <F3> and enter the source path (cd volume).

7. The driver name is displayed (e.g., "Intel (R) PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter"). Press <Enter> to select it.

8. A prompt appears asking if you want to copy driver CE1000.LAN. Select Yes and press <Enter>.

9. The next screen asks for parameters for loading the driver. To modify any driver parameters or protocols, highlight "Select/Modify driver parameters and protocols" and press <Enter>. If you have multiple adapters, enter the slot number for the adapter you are currently configuring. When finished configuring the driver, select "Save parameters and load driver" to continue.

   | NOTE: If your system contains a single network adapter, you may enter any number for the slot. The driver will automatically detect the correct slot number and load successfully.
   | NOTE: If your system contains more than one network adapter, you can find the valid slot numbers for your adapters by pressing <Alt>-<Esc> to switch to the console screen in NetWare. Type LOAD CE1000 and press <Enter>. The driver will attempt to load and prompt you with the available slot numbers. Note the slot numbers, and press <Esc> to abort the driver load. Use <Alt>-<Esc> to switch back to the Install screen and enter the correct slot number.

10. To complete the driver installation process, go back to the Configuration Options screen by pressing <Esc> until you see the Configuration Options screen.

11. Choose "Exit" to return to the server console prompt.

| NOTE: If the adapter cannot transmit or receive after installation, you may need to modify the frame type or LOAD and BIND statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
| NOTE: If you are installing multiple adapters, repeat the driver installation process for each adapter in the server.
| NOTE: Some switches can take several seconds to auto-negotiate and establish a link with the adapter. This may result in a false "could not establish link" error message. Use the monitor or check the adapter lights to determine valid connection information.

## Jumbo Frames

Also see the discussion of Jumbo Frames in Other Advanced Features.

- Jumbo frames are supported on NetWare 6.

- Jumbo frames are supported only with Gigabit adapters and requires switch infrastructure that supports jumbo frames.

- Jumbo frames are not supported on the first generation Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter.

- Jumbo frames only work with IP, and Ethernet II must be the only frame type loaded for the board.

- The MAXIMUM PHYSICAL PACKET RECEIVE SIZE setting must be set to the size of the jumbo frame.

### Set Up

To set up for jumbo frames, use the following commands:

> SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = <jumbo frame size>
> LOAD CE1000 FRAMETYPE=ETHERNET_II JUMBO = <jumbo frame size>

At the switch, make sure you set the jumbo frame size to be at least 22 bytes larger than what you are setting the server.

## Installing Multiple Adapters

The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify each installed adapter. You can correlate the PCI slot number to the port by using the Ethernet address that is printed on a label on the adapter.

If you are installing a driver in a computer with existing Intel adapters, be sure to update all the adapters and ports with the same new software. This will ensure that all adapters will function correctly.
