negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full). [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
SLOT: (required for multiple adapters, see TIP 9 in section one for instruction on obtaining the
slot number) This parameter is optional if only one adapter is present. If it is specified but is
incorrect, a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration but the driver finds
the adapter and loads anyway.
This parameter is required if more than one adapter is present in either one bus or multiple PCI
buses of a system. The parameter tells the driver which adapter it controls. The SLOT number is
the encoded value of the PCI adapter's device location. To determine the slot number, load the
driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter specified. The driver reports all the slots that
have PCI adapter(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot by using
SETUP.EXE (if you need to run this utility, you must create a J3171A/D5013A driver diskette
from the Navigator diskette library section.) and matching the Ethernet addresses of the adapter
to the device number specified in View Configuration.
[Example: SLOT=0x1C]
Alternate procedure to obtain the slot number:
1. Complete the configuration process but leave the slot field blank for each driver
2. Restart the system and record the list of slots that each driver displays
3. Complete the configuration by assigning one of the values from the list (without the 'ox') to
the Slot parameter of each driver. Leave the field blank if you only have one adapter
installed.
Installing High Resolution Video Driver on a NetServer E 30, E 40, E 45
Note: It is critical that your system be set to VGA mode before starting this procedure. If you just
installed the system using the procedure listed above then the system should be already set to
VGA mode. Otherwise check your OS/2 manual on how to set the display to VGA.
The video diskette contains a readme.txt file that you can print to use it as a reference
documentation. You may want to look at that reference if you want to install many systems using
a automatic script to install the video driver.
1. Insert the Cirrus Logic diskette into drive A:
2. Select the Diskette object on the launch pad to open the Drive A:
3. Double click on Install.exe.
4. Select "Install" from the Cirrus Logic Install Program. The display will show:
