Installing and Configuring Novell NetWare v3.12

Overview

This chapter contains instructions for installing and configuring the Novell NetWare v3.12 Network

Operating System on your server system. For additional Novell NetWare information, it is important to read the NetWare "README" files and related documentation provided by Novell.

Required Diskettes

Depending upon the configuration of your system, you may be required to use newer drivers than the ones supplied on the NetWare distribution media. You will need newer drivers if any of the devices listed Table 3-1 are installed on your system. Use the EXPRESSBU IL DER CD-ROM to create the required diskettes, see Using

ExpressBuilder to Create Diskettes in Chapter 1.

SMC9432TX LAN controller _{SMC Superdisk for EtherPower II 10/100}

Installation Assumptions

The installation and configuration instructions in this chapter assume the following:

■ You will be installing (not updating) the Novell NetWare v3.12 Network Operating System from CD-ROM media.

■ You will be starting NetWare from an MS-DOS® partition, not a DOS diskette.

(34)

Installing and Configuring Novell NetWare v3.12

DOS Partition

The MS-DOS partition on your system hard disk drive is configured to ensure you have sufficient space for the Novell NetWare v3.12 Network Operating System and applications. (See the NetWare Installation and

Upgrade manual for disk space requirements.)

If your system does not include a Disk Array Controller (DAC960), your primary boot disk drive is formatted with a single 50MB MS-DOS partition and MS-DOS is preinstalled on this drive.

If you have a Disk Array Controller (DAC960)

preinstalled on your system, it was preconfigured at the factory. The primary boot drive is formatted with a single 50MB MS-DOS partition and MS-DOS is preinstalled on this drive.

If you want to reconfigure the size of the DOS partition, perform the steps in the following subsections.

Otherwise, go to the Running EZSTART for LAN

Adapters subsection in this chapter.

Reconfiguring the DOS Partition

If you want to reconfigure the size of the DOS partition:

Notice: When reconfiguring the DOS partition all data

on non-removable disk drive C: will be lost!

1. Boot your system from the DOS partition and execute some DOS commands (CHKDSK, for example) to verify that your system was not damaged during shipment and that the keyboard and monitor are properly installed and working.

2. Create a bootable DOS diskette by inserting a blank diskette and entering:

Installing and Configuring Novell NetWare v4.11

DOS Partition

The MS-DOS partition on your system hard disk drive is configured to ensure you have sufficient space for the Novell NetWare v3.12 Network Operating System and applications. (See the NetWare Installation and

Upgrade manual for disk space requirements.)

If your system does not include a Disk Array Controller (DAC960), your primary boot disk drive is formatted with a single 50MB MS-DOS partition and MS-DOS is preinstalled on this drive.

If you have a Disk Array Controller (DAC960)

preinstalled on your system, it was preconfigured at the factory. The primary boot drive is formatted with a single 50MB MS-DOS partition and MS-DOS is preinstalled on this drive.

If you want to reconfigure the size of the DOS partition, perform the steps in the following subsections.

Otherwise, go to the Running EZSTART for LAN

Adapters subsection in this chapter.

Reconfiguring the DOS Partition

If you want to reconfigure the size of the DOS partition perform the following procedure:

Notice: When reconfiguring the DOS partition all data
