AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide
85
Pre-Installation Requirements
A network device driver must be installed before the AT-29xx Series
Gigabit Ethernet network adapters can be used with your Novell NetWare
system.
Before you can successfully install the adapter driver for Novell NetWare,
the adapter card must be physically installed in the server and, typically,
the NetWare OS software must already be running on the server. Make
sure that your server meets the hardware and operating system software
requirements described “Installing the Hardware” on page 21.
To enable the Allied Telesis AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet network
adapters to function correctly, you need to install the latest Novell NetWare
support pack files. The NetWare support pack or patch file(s) needed for
the operating system running on your server are indicated in Table 4.
Note
If you are installing NetWare 5.x or 6.0 for the first time on a system,
the process to install the adapter driver occurs during the OS
installation procedure. Install the NetWare 5 support pack after you
have successfully installed the operating system on the server.
To obtain the latest support pack files, go to the Novell support website
and click on the Minimum Patch List option in the navigation bar. Scroll
down the page and, using Table 4 above as a guide, select and download
the latest support pack or patch file(s) for the operating system running on
your server.
