Installation Overview
The driver installation process follows this basic outline:
1. Prepare the installation media. If you received the driver in zipped format (as a single file with a .zip
extension), extract the driver files and create an installation diskette or copy the files to the /system
directory on the server.
Note: For information about extracting files, see extract.htm .
2. If you created a diskette, copy the driver files into the /system directory on the server.
3. Initialize and configure the driver.
4. If you use NetWare Connect or a similar third-party product, use the load command to initialize the
driver , then use nwccon (4.1.x) or niascfg (5.x) to configure the driver and external devices.
Note: If you use nwccon for 5.x, you get a modified version of nwccon.
5. If you use NIAS or MPR, use inetcfg (4.1.x) or niascfg (5.x) to initialize and configure the driver and
external devices.
6. Down and restart the server.
7. Resume normal operations.
