SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP7101 PART NUMBER: 276914-291, 276915-291, 276916-291, 276917-291, 276918-291 FILE NAME: NSSD TITLE: Japanese Novell Support Software Diskette (NSSD) VERSION: 3.21 Rev A LANGUAGE: Japanese CATEGORY: Drivers DIVISIONS: Systems PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq Server products OPERATING SYSTEM: Novell NetWare 3.12J/4.1J, IntranetWare, IntranetWare SMP, IntranetWare SFT-III (Japanese) SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A PREREQUISITES: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: May 21, 1998 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 2.x SUPERSEDES: SP6867 DESCRIPTION: This SoftPaq is for Japanese products, and cannot be run in United States mode. It creates four diskettes. The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and IntranetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and IntranetWare on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq options such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, and Compaq CD-ROM drives. Enhancements/Fixes: - CPQNF3.LAN v2.35 has added a new keyword for forcing the adapter to operate at 100 Mbps in Half Duplex mode. To enable this mode, place the keyword 100HD on the LOAD command line. - CPQNF3.LAN v2.35 now disables the Auto-Negotiation process when the speed and duplex mode is forced by using the 10HD, 10FD, 100FD or 100HD keywords. This now makes it mandatory to have both sides of the network link (NIC and Switch) specifically configured for the operating mode you choose. Some network switches are not interoperable with the auto-negotiation standard and would sometimes have difficulty establishing links when using previous versions of this driver. - CPQHLTH.NLM v4.00 adds support for the following Compaq ProLiant servers: - Compaq ProLiant 800 6/350-1 - Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/350-1 - Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/400-1 - Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.12 corrects the display of the logical drive rebuild/expand status when the chassis name on a Fibre Channel controller is more than 18 characters long. - CPQSBD.NLM v2.01 has been updated to correct the "Module did not release X resources" message after adding some PCI adapters. - CPQFC.HAM v1.01 has been updated to disallow sharing interrupts between the Fibre Channel host adapter and the SMART-2, or other, primary controller(s). - CPQS710.DSK v2.14 corrects a speed negotiation issue for the CPQSCD.DSK or CPQSTAPE.DSK drivers. - CPQSCSI.HAM v1.20 adds support for faulting CD-ROM devices. - CPQSMP.PSM v2.21 has been updated to prevent lost hardware interrupts on systems with Intel Pentium-II processors. The readme files for NSSD are available as a WINHELP file, located on diskette #2. The WHATSNEW.RDM file, found on diskette #2, contains detailed information about the updates, new features, and fixes in this version. Refer to the WHATSNEW.RDM file for specific driver names and version numbers. HOW TO USE 1. Obtain five(5) formatted 1.44 MB diskettes. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes. 4. After the diskettes have been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. For installation instructions, refer to READ1ST.RDM and WHATSNEW.RDM on the created diskettes.
