Chapter 1. The IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapters

This chapter describes the adapters, the contents of the adapter kits, and the other
materials you will need to install the adapters.

It is important that you are familiar with the computer in which the adapter will be
installed and the computer’s operating system and network software.

The IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapters are 32-bit, bus-master, Token-Ring
adapters for the PCI bus architecture. Their unique, high-quality filter design
supports connection to a Token-Ring network that is wired with shielded
twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling. The adapters can be
used in PCI-compatible slots that operate at speeds up to 33 MHz.

Features of the IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapters include:

¹ adapter management capability using SNMP and Desktop Management

Interface (DMI) is available by using the LAN Adapter Management Agent. For
an end-to-end management solution, the agent can be used in conjunction with
the Nways Workgroup Manager Version 1.1 or higher and Nways Manager for
AIX Version 1.2 or higher.

¹ Automatic ring-speed detection.
¹ Support for a wide variety of network operating systems and network

applications.

¹ Support for full-duplex (FDX), Token-Ring LAN operation.
¹ Support for microcode update.
¹ Automatic configuration of I/O, memory, ROM space, and interrupt level by PCI

BIOS on power-up.

¹ Can be plugged into either a half-size or full-size, 5-V or 3.3-V signaling, 32-bit

or 64-bit PCI-bus slot.

¹ IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 use less than 1 watt; IBM 16/4 Token-Ring

PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN uses 1.5 watts; IBM High-Speed 100/16/4

Automatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

If your computer supports ACPI, then it has built-in energy-saving capabilities.
When ACPI is enabled (usually through the computer BIOS settings), the operating
system is allowed to control the power management features of your computer. Not
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported. Refer to your computer system
documentation to determine if ACPI BIOS is offered and the method by which it can

1-2 IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter

be enabled. The IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapters implement the PCI Bus
Power Management Interface Specification (Version 1.0) which works together with
ACPI. Under control of the operating system, the adapter (and the entire system)
can be placed in various power-saving modes and be dynamically configured to
look for network protocol-specific events. Upon detection of these events, the
adapter can signal a wake-up condition which will bring the system to a
fully-powered (operational) state.

Some systems might need to be configured through BIOS settings
(configuration/setup utilities) to allow PCI devices to wake a system. Refer to your
computer system documentation for automatic power-on feature settings (or PCI
wake-up features).

Legacy Wake on LAN: adapters which support this feature have the ability to turn
on a system that is powered off. The adapter has an additional cable that connects
to the computer system which provides auxiliary power to the adapter. The adapter
always has a source of power, even when the system is powered off (system
power cord is connected to a live power outlet). When the system is powered off,
the adapter automatically inserts into the network and looks for a special frame.
This frame is commonly referred to as a magic packet. Upon detection of the
magic packet, the adapter signals the system to turn on the power supply, thus
turning on the computer system. The magic packet is a frame sent by another
computer system usually running an application that provides remote system
management.

Alert on LAN: This feature enables computers to send immediate alerts to network
administrators when there are hardware or operating system failures, or evidence of
tampering. The unique value add of Alert on LAN technology is its ability to
generate these alerts, even if the system is powered off or the operating system is
not yet loaded or both. The Alert on LAN cable also provides the Legacy Wake on
LAN interface.

Intel’s LANDesk Client Manager Version 3.3 and IBM’s Asset Care management
software provide a total solution. For more information, see Appendix B, “About
Alert on LAN” on page B-1.

site - current information. Select Downloads and choose the
appropriate software package for your environment. Execute the package
to expand the files. The driver will be in the directory listed in Table 3-1.

Note: You can also access the Web site directly at
www.networking.ibm.com/support

¹ Method B: Use the driver shipped on this CD-ROM directly with your

network operating system’s installation software. Note the directory
containing the driver (see Table 3-1).

¹ Method C: Get the driver from a software package shipped on this

CD-ROM. Point your Web browser to x:\web\essmain.htm (where x is
your CD-ROM drive). Select your adapter from the section CD-ROM -
release date information. Select Downloads and choose the
appropriate software package for your environment. Execute the package
to expand the files. The driver will be in the directory listed in Table 3-1.

4 Install the driver. Use Table 3-2 on page 3-2 to find the location of the

installation instructions for your environment. It is recommended that you

Novell NetWare 3.12 Server

Before you start this installation, get the latest level of LAN driver updates for
NetWare 3.12 from Novell’s support Web site at support.novell.com. You will install
them during the following procedure.

If the Novell NetWare server is not installed on your machine, use the following
instructions. If it is installed, go to the instructions in “Server Driver Installation in
Existing NetWare 3.12 Server” on page 3-5.

Server Driver Installation in New NetWare 3.12 Server

Changes from the usual NetWare installation are necessary because this driver is
written to a new specification level that requires new NetWare loadable modules
(NLMs). The installation program is not aware of this, though, and these NLMs
must be loaded during installation of the server device driver and after the server
installation.

1 Create a diskette containing the extracted files from the NETWAREP.EXE

package file on the IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter CD-ROM.

2 Refer to Novell’s
