       INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NOVELL 16-BIT ODI DRIVER FOR OS/2
                 WITH THE HP DeskDirect LAN ADAPTER (J2973A)

 This document contains the instructions for installing the HP DeskDirect 
 LAN Adapter and its 16-bit OS/2 ODI driver under OS/2.

 An OS/2 computer gains access to NetWare servers by using the Requester for
 OS/2.  The Requester needs the OS/2 ODI driver to enable it to use the LAN
 adapter to access the LAN media.

 There are two 16-bit OS/2 ODI drivers contained in the HP DeskDirect LAN
 Adapter Support Disk.

     \OS2\HPFEODIM.SYS - bus-master mode 16-bit OS/2 ODI driver
     \OS2\HPFEODI.SYS  - I/O-memory mode 16-bit OS/2 ODI driver
 
 The HPFEODIM.SYS driver uses the HP DeskDirect LAN adapter's
 bus-master data transfer mode.  Bus-mastering provides the highest
 performance data transfers.

 The HPFEODI.SYS driver uses the HP DeskDirect LAN adapter's
 I/O-mapped or memory-mapped data transfer modes.  It may be used in the
 situation when the HP DeskDirect LAN adapter is installed in a
 PCI slot which does not support PCI bus-master operations.

 To install the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter and its 16-bit ODI driver for
 OS/2, follow the instructions below:

 1.  Install the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter and, optionally, run HPVGSET.

     Follow instructions in the printed manual.

 2.  Run an OS/2 Full Screen window.

     Reboot the computer into OS/2.  Enter OS/2 Full Screen mode by
     double clicking on the "Command Prompts" icon in the "OS/2 System"
     window and then double clicking on the "OS/2 Full Screen" icon.

 3.  Install the NetWare OS/2 Requester.

     To install the OS/2 Requester using the NetWare diskette labeled
     "REQUESTER", follow the instructions under the label "Workstation 
     Services Installation" below.

     To install the OS/2 Requester using the NetWare diskette labeled
     "WSOS2_1", follow the instructions under the section labeled 
     "Workstation for OS/2 Installation" below.


     Workstation Services Installation
     ---------------------------------
     A.  Run the INSTALL utility. 
 
         Insert the NetWare "REQUESTER" diskette into the floppy drive and 
         run the INSTALL program.  For example, if the NetWare diskette is
         in floppy drive A, then execute the following commands:
 
             A:
             INSTALL
 
         Choose the "Requester on Workstation" under the "Installation" menu.
 
     B.  Specify the OS/2 ODI driver to use.
 
         When the "Select Options for CONFIG.SYS" window appears, type
         the appropriate driver name, HPFEODIM.SYS or HPFEODI.SYS, into the 
	 field labeled "Network Interface Card driver". Type HPFEODIM.SYS to
	 choose bus-master mode driver; type HPFEODI.SYS to choose I/O-memory
	 mode driver.
 
         Select any other CONFIG.SYS options on the window.  When finished,
         press the ENTER key to click on the "Save" button.
 
         Click on the "YES" button to the dialog box question:
 
                          HPFEODIM.SYS
                 Is this a third party NIC driver?
			
			    - or -
 
                          HPFEODI.SYS
                 Is this a third party NIC driver?
 
         When the window "Install Third Party NIC Driver" appears, remove
         the Novell diskette and insert the HP Support disk.  Enter the path
         name to the OS/2 ODI driver in the field labeled "File to Install".
         For example, if the HP Support Disk is in floppy drive A, type:
 
             A:\OS2\HPFEODIM.SYS

		  - or -
 
             A:\OS2\HPFEODI.SYS
 
         Press the ENTER key or click on the "OK" button.  The INSTALL
         program will copy the HPFEODIM.SYS file to the NetWare Requester
         directory on the OS/2 drive.
 
     Workstation for OS/2 Installation
     ---------------------------------
     A.  Run the INSTALL utility. 
 
         Insert the NetWare "WSOS2_1" diskette into the floppy drive and run 
         the INSTALL program.  For example, if the NetWare diskette is in 
         floppy drive A, then execute the following commands:
 
             A:
             INSTALL
 
         Choose the "Requester on Workstation" under the "Installation" menu.
 
     B.  Specify the OS/2 ODI driver to use.
 
         When the "Choose the ODI LAN Driver" window appears, enter the name 
         HPFEODIM.SYS or HPFEODI.SYS in the menu field.  Press the ENTER key 
	 or click on the "Continue" button.
 
         When the window titled "Copy ODI LAN Driver Files" appears, it will 
         have the line:
 
              "Default ODI LAN Driver: HPFEODIM.SYS"

			    - or -  

              "Default ODI LAN Driver: HPFEODI.SYS"
 
         with the "Copy only the default driver" button selected.  Press
         the ENTER key or click on the "OK" button.
 
         The INSTALL program will now prompt for the driver diskette
         with the message "Insert diskette labeled WSDRV_1 or a diskette
         containing third-party drivers", insert the HP Support Disk.  
         Press the ENTER key or click the "OK" button.  
 
         The "Copy Requester Files" window will be displayed.  Press the ENTER 
         key or click the "OK" button.  The HP OS/2 ODI driver will be copied
         into the NetWare Requester directory on the OS/2 drive.
 
 4.  Edit the NET.CFG file to match HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter configuration.
 
     NOTE: If more than one HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter is installed, see
           "Note on NET.CFG Parameters for HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter" below.
 
     After the installation process has completed, select the choice
     "This workstation" under the "Configuration" menu to edit the
     NET.CFG file.
 
     Next, click on the "Edit" button to open the edit window.
 
     Create a link driver section in the "Current NET.CFG File Contents"
     window.  For a machine with a single HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter, the
     link driver section would look like:
 
         LINK DRIVER HPFEODIM
              FRAME Ethernet_802.3

         LINK DRIVER HPFEODI
              FRAME Ethernet_802.3
 
     NOTE: The "LINK DRIVER" line must start on column one and the other
           lines must be indented at least two spaces.
 
     The HP OS/2 ODI driver default frame type is ETHERNET_802.2.  NetWare
     286 and 386 servers use frame type ETHERNET_802.3 as their default
     but NetWare 4.0 uses both ETHERNET_802.2 and ETHERNET_802.3 types.
 
     Click on the "SAVE" button when all the link driver parameters
     are correct.
     
 5.  The Novell Requester for OS/2 installation is finished.
 
     The installation and changes made will not take effect until the
     computer is rebooted.  Use the OS/2 shutdown procedure to safely
     reboot the OS/2 system.
 

 6.  Shutdown OS/2 and reboot the computer.
 


 Note on NET.CFG Parameters for HPFEODIM & HPFEODI Driver
 ========================================================
 The HPFEODIM and HPFEODI OS/2 ODI drivers supports the following optional 
 NET.CFG parameters:

     PORT         "Optional Base I/O Port"        (default: search for card)"
     SLOT         "Optional EISA/PCI Slot         (default: search for card)"
     BUS ID       "Optional Bus Identifier        (default: search for card)"
     CARD ID      "Optional Card Identifier       (default: search for card)"
     INT          "Optional Hardware Interrupt    (default: read from card)"
     LAN SPEED    "Optional LAN Speed             (default: autoselect LAN)"
     FRAME        "Optional Media Frame Type(s)   (default: ETHERNET_802.2)"
     MEM          "Optional Memory-Mapped Address (default: read from card)"
     NODE ADDRESS "Optional Node Address          (default: read from card)"
  
 The default behavior for the HPFEODIM & HPFEODI ODI drivers is to search for
 all HP DeskDirect LAN Adapters they support (i.e. EISA, ISA, or PCI) and read
 the configuration stored onboard.  Normally, none of these parameters needs
 to be specified in the NET.CFG file.
  
 There are several reasons to specify one or more of these parameters in
 the NET.CFG file:
  
      1) To add support for additional frame types.
      2) To prevent interference with another card caused by the search
         for an HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter.
      3) If there is more than one HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter installed.
      4) To override the Interrupt Channel used by the HP DeskDirect LAN
         Adapter.
      5) To override the Memory-Mapped Address used by the HP DeskDirect
         LAN Adapter.
      6) To override the LAN selected.
      
 To add or modify parameters in the NET.CFG file, use a text editor.  Make
 sure the file is saved as a plain text or ASCII file.  All these parameters
 are under the "LINK DRIVER HPFEODIM" ("LINK DRIVER HPFEODI" if it's for
 HPFEODI driver) section of the NET.CFG file.
  
 NOTE: The "LINK DRIVER" line must start on column one and the other lines 
       must be indented at least two spaces.
  
 PORT  
        When this value is specified, it must match the first address
        in the "I/O Address Range" parameter shown by HPVGSET.  When a
        PORT value is specified, the driver will check for an HP DeskDirect
        LAN Adapter only at that I/O location.  If no adapter is present,
        the driver will exit with an error.
            
        For example, using the I/O Address Range of "D000-D0FFh", the PORT
        line should be:
         
            PORT D000
       
 SLOT  
        For HP DeskDirect EISA and PCI LAN Adapters, when this value is
        specified, it must match the slot number into which the HP DeskDirect
        EISA or PCI LAN adapter is installed.  When a SLOT value is specified,
        the driver will check for an HP DeskDirect EISA or PCI LAN adapter only
        at that slot.  If no card is present, the driver will exit with an error.
  
        The legal values are 1 to 15 for EISA cards and 1 to 255 for PCI cards.
        Please note that for PCI cards, this parameter is valid only when the
        PCI card is installed on the computer with the BIOS conforming to
        PCI BIOS Specification version 2.10 or later.
 
        For example, if the PCI card is located in slot 1, the SLOT line
        should be:
 
        SLOT 1
  
        For ISA cards, this value is ignored.
  
 BUS ID  
        This parameter tells the driver which of the system busses to
        search for an HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter.  When a BUS ID value is
        specified, the driver will check for an HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter.
        If no card or multiple cards are found on the bus, the driver will
        exit with an  error.
  
        The legal values are:
            - "0" : ISA
            - "2" : EISA
            - "4" : PCI 
  
        For example, to have the driver search the PCI bus, the BUS ID
        line should be:
  
        BUS ID 4
 
 CARD ID  
        This parameter tells the driver to search for an HP DeskDirect LAN
        Adapter matching the network address specified.  The value entered
        should be the last six hexidecimal digits of the adapters MAC
        address.  When a CARD ID value is specified, the driver will search
        for an HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter that matches the value specified.
        If no card is found, the driver will exit with an error.
  
        For example, if the adapter's network address is 080009 123ABC, the
        CARD ID line should be:
  
        CARD ID 123ABC

        Please note that CARD ID parameter may interfere with the card
        searching process if there are multiple of HP DeskDirect LAN Adapters
        installed on the same computer. In this case, it is recommended that
        using PORT or SLOT or BUS ID to uniquely specify which card to be used. 
  
 INT   
        For HP DeskDirect ISA and EISA LAN adapters, this value will override
        the Interrupt Channel (IRQ) stored in the card by HPVGSET until the
        computer is rebooted.
  
        The legal values are: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15.
  
        For example, to use interrupt channel 3, the INT line should be:
  
        INT 3
  
        For HP DeskDirect "PCI" LAN adapters, the INT parameter is not allowed.
  
 LAN SPEED  
        This value will override the LAN connector stored in the card by
        HPVGSET until the computer is rebooted.  The value specified
        indicates the speed of the network connected to.  
  
        The legal values are: 10 and 100
  
        For example, to force the adapter to only use the 100 Mbit/s
        network connection, the LAN SPEED line should be:
  
        LAN SPEED 100

        This parameter is ignored for HP DeskDirect "10-Mbit" LAN Adapters.

 FRAME  
        This parameter tells the driver which frame types to recognize.
        NetWare 286 and 386 servers use frame type ETHERNET_802.3 as
        their default, but NetWare 4.0 uses both ETHERNET_802.2 and
        ETHERNET_802.3 types.  More than one FRAME line with different
        values can be specified.
  
        The legal values are: ETHERNET_802.2, ETHERNET_802.3, ETHERNET_II,
        and ETHERNET_SNAP.
  
        For example, to use the default frame type of ETHERNET_802.2, the 
        FRAME line should be:
          
            FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
  
 MEM   
        This parameter is only valid with HPFEODI driver. It is not
        required if HPFEODIM driver is used.

        This value will override the Memory-Mapped Address stored on the
        adapter until the computer is rebooted.
  
        If Memory Mapped mode is desired, refer to the file 
	TECHNOTE\MEMMAP.TXT for a discussion of memory-mapped mode and 
	the steps necessary to configure the operating system startup 
        files for memory-mapped mode.
 
        For example, to use the memory-mapped address 1000000, the MEM line
        should be:
  
        MEM 1000000
  
        NOTE: On computers with multiple PCI busses, the MEM keyword might
              not enable memory-map mode.  See the note "Addressing Issues"
              in the \TECHNOTE\PCI_INFO.TXT file on the HP Support Disk for
              more information.
  
 NODE ADDRESS  
        This value will override the factory station address stored on the 
        adapter.  Use this only if station addresses will be administered 
        locally.
  
        For example, to use a station address of AABBCC123456, the NODE
        ADDRESS line should be:
  
        NODE ADDRESS AABBCC123456
  
        NOTE: The CARD ID is based on the network address set at the
              factory.
