2 Installing the NIC Software

4 Edit the autoexec.ncf file and modify NIC load parameters. The NIC

parameters that can be defined in the load statements are
described in "NIC Load Parameters" on page 23.

Example: A valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. One set of load and
bind commands (in bold) is added for each type of frame the NIC is
configured to support.

NOTE: Depending on your system configuration, the number of clients
being supported, and other requirements, more than 1024 packet receive
buffers may be needed for each NIC.

For more information, see “Editing the STARTUP.NCF File” in the 3Com
Gigabit EtherLink Server NIC User’s Guide for Novell NetWare.
