NETWARE LITE INSTALLATION NOTES:
FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS
============================================================

This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, MCA, and 
MCA/TP.  It contains installation notes for installing the driver.  It does
not explain how to configure an EtherExpress board.  For instructions
about configuring the board, see either the Expert's Guide or the
Complete Guide for your board.

NOTE: This document or an updated version (if anything has changed 
      since this was written) is available on FaxBACK.

INTRODUCTION:
-------------
This document is based on NetWare Lite versions 1.0 and 1.1.  Novell
recommends the network adapter use an ODI driver with NetWare Lite, but
NetWare Lite can also use an IPX driver.  This document describes the
installation procedure for both ODI and IPX workstations.

For more details on NetWare Lite, see Novell's documentation.


BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
-----------------
If you have 5.25" NetWare Lite diskettes, copy the Intel ODI driver to a
backup copy of the NetWare DRIVERS diskette.  If you have 3.5" NetWare
Lite diskettes, copy the Intel ODI driver to a backup copy of the NetWare
Lite diskette.

The EtherExpress DOS ODI driver is located in the NETWARE.ODI subdirectory
on the EtherExpress diskette.

	\NETWARE.ODI\EXP16ODI.COM

NOTE: For an IPX installation the ODI driver will act as a place 
      holder during INSTALL program.


PROCEDURE FOR ODI:
------------------
1.   Start Novell's INSTALL program and follow Novell's instructions for
     "other" drivers.  When prompted to insert the "other" driver
     diskette, leave Novell's disk in the drive and press ESC.  Select the
     EXP16ODI.COM driver from the list of available drivers.

     INSTALL will create a file called STARTNET.BAT.  STARTNET.BAT for the
     for EtherExpress should look like this:

     LSL
     EXP16ODI
     IPXODI A
     SHARE 
     SERVER   
     CLIENT

     Note: If this machine is a client only, the SERVER command will
           not be included.

2.   If the EtherExpress board IS configured to use the default I/O
     address (300H), you are done.  

     Reboot the computer, run STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon
     message.

     If the EtherExpress board IS NOT configured for the default I/O
     address, go to the next step.

3.   Create a NET.CFG file on the boot disk.  The NET.CFG should contain
     these statements:

     Link Driver EXP16ODI
      Port  xxx

     WHERE xxx is the I/O address for the EtherExpress card.

     NOTE: NET.CFG is case and position sensitive so be careful to use 
           capital letters as shown and indent the second line with
           one space or one tab.

     The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as the EtherExpress
     driver and you must be in that directory when you execute EXP16ODI.

     When you finish editing the NET.CFG file, reboot the computer, run
     STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon message.


PROCEDURE FOR IPX:
------------------
We do not recommend using IPX in a server workstation.

1.   Start Novell's INSTALL program and follow Novell's instructions for
     "other" drivers.  When prompted to insert the "other" driver
     diskette, leave Novell's disk in the drive and press ESC.  Select the
     EXP16ODI.COM driver from the list of available drivers.

     INSTALL will create a file called STARTNET.BAT.  STARTNET.BAT for the
     for EtherExpress should look like this:

     LSL
     EXP16ODI
     IPXODI A
     SHARE
     CLIENT

2.   When you finish the installation, copy IPX.COM from the root
     directory of the EtherExpress disk to the NetWare Lite directory on
     your boot disk.

3.   Edit STARTNET.BAT.  Delete LSL, EXP16ODI, and IPXODI A.  Replace them
     with IPX.  The new STARTNET.BAT should look like this:

     IPX
     SHARE
     CLIENT

4.   When you finish editing the STARTNET.BAT file, reboot the computer,
     run STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon message.


TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES:
======================

     Remote boot (RPL) will not work on a NetWare Lite server or client.

     Thin Ethernet requires a t-connector on EVERY workstation and
     terminators on the end of each trunk segment.  One of the two
     terminators must be grounded.  You cannot directly connect 2
     workstations.

     10BASE-T requires a hub or concentrator.  For test purposes, you can
     connect two computers without a hub, you should not do this for a
     production environment.  See the 10BASE-T document for more
     information.
