Adaptec Installation Revision: 06/24/94 (make sure you downloaded latest driver in zip files) In order to use this procedures you need to test server.exe with your motherboard. ================================================================ Boot to MS-DOS 5.0, 6.0, 6.2 (no config.sys) run server -ns -na (do not run startup.ncf, autoexec.ncf) type in fileserver name type in internal ipx number type memory - if you see all your memory use procedure I - if you do not see all your memory use procedure II (This is due to a problem with server.exe and your motherboard) Procedure I =========== Netware 3.11, 3.12, 4.0x ------------------------ STARTUP.NCF set auto register memory above 16 megabytes = on set reserved buffers below 16 meg = 40 (Add 20 buffers for each additional SCSI device supported by the Adaptec driver with a minimum of 200 buffers for Sbackup, Arcserve) i.e. load AHA1540 port=xxx i.e. load AHA1640 port=xxx Note: - above16=y is not necessary anymore (154x, 1640). (autodetection of memory) Procedure II ============ Netware 3.11, 3.12: ------------------- STARTUP.NCF set auto register memory above 16 megabytes = off set reserved buffers below 16 meg = 40 (Add 20 buffers for each additional SCSI device supported by the Adaptec driver with a minimum of 200,300 buffers for Sbackup, Arcserve) AUTOEXEC.NCF (must be in same path as STARTUP.NCF, C: or A:) file server name ipx internal net
register memory 1000000 ???????
