In order to use this procedure you need to test SERVER.EXE with your motherboard as follows:
|
|
- Boot to MS-DOS 5.0, 6.0, 6.2 (with no config.sys)
- run server -ns -na (this prevents startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf from loading)
- type in a fileserver name
- type in an 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)

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)
load DRIVERNAME options=xxx
(Replace DRIVERNAME with the correct driver for your product.
Example: AIC7870, AHA1540, etc. The "above16=y" switch is no longer necessary)

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 ??????? (See Memory)
load DRIVERNAME options=xxx
(Replace DRIVERNAME with the correct driver for your product.
Example: AIC7870, AHA1540, etc. The "above16=y" switch is no longer necessary)
(if you have a problem with not mounting the first time, add the
command line "scan for new devices" at this point)
mount sys
load <landriver>.lan
bind ...
mount <volumes>(all)
load nlms
Netware 4.0x:
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 buffers for Sbackup, Arcserve)

Memory
register memory <start address> <range>
(both numbers are in hex)
decimal 16777216 / 1048576 / 65536 / 4096 / 256 / 16 / 1
16Meg = 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 1,000,000
Examples of the register memory command:
24M: register memory 1,000,000 800,000
32M: register memory 1,000,000 1,000,000
48M: register memory 1,000,000 2,000,000
64M: register memory 1,000,000 3,000,000
