An option ROM for the entire PCI Family can be purchased. The ROMs specs. are: Product Name : DFE-504 Rev.2.0 Boot ROM Size : 32K Supported Adapters : DFE-500TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Product Name : DE-534 Rev.2.0 Boot ROM Size : 16K Supported Adapters : DE-530 PCI Family Ethernet Adapter Requirements 컴컴컴컴컴컴  A DFE-504C adapter  A PCI compatible system  A compatible network operating system  A DE-530/DFE-500 Family adapter  A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files Minimum Skill Level 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  A knowledge of basic DOS commands  A knowledge of editing text files  A knowledge of DOS's basic file structure (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)  A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used  Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable with this skill level Compatibility List 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴  All DE-530/DFE-500 Family  Removal of any present network drivers  For a system compatibility list please consult your local D-Link Branch Office Boot Server and Boot ROM cross reference table: �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Boot Server and Boot ROM Table � 픔컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컫컴컴쩡컴컴컴쩡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캘 � Boot Server 쿏RV 쿏OS/OS2� D-Link Boot ROM type � 픔컴컴컴컴쩡컴컴쩡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴탠컴컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캘 � � 쿙W 2.2 (RPL.vpl) � � � � � NetWare � RPL 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � All � � � �802.2쿙W 3.1x (RPL.nlm) 쿚DI 쿏OS/OS2� � � � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 퀆ersion� � � � 쿙W 4.x (RPL.nlm) � � � � 픔컴컴컴컴탠컴컴탠컴컴쩡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴탠컴컴컴� � � � 쿚S/2 � NOS � � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � All � � � � 퀆1.3 쿗an Manager V2.1� 쿏OS/OS2� � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 퀆ersion� � 튝icrosoft� RPL 퀆1.3 쿗an Manager V2.2� � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 쳐컴컴컴� DFE-504 � � � � OS � NOS � � All � and � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � DOS � DE-534 � � � 쿙T35 � Advance Server � 쿥indows� � 픔컴컴컴컴탠컴컴탠컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑NDIS쳐컴컴컴� � � � 쿚S/2 � NOS � � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � � � � � 퀆1.3 쿗anServer V2.0� � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � All � � � IBM � RPL 퀆2.1 쿗anServer V3.0� 쿏OS/OS2� � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 퀆ersion� � � � 퀆2.1T쿗anServer V3.0� � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � � � � � 퀆2.1 쿗anServer V4.0� � � � � � 쳐컴컴탠컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � � � � � 퀆3.0 쿗anServer V4.0� � � � 훤袴袴袴袴鳩袴袴鳩袴袴鳩袴袴袴袴袴袴袴賈袴袴鳩袴袴袴鳩袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 Remote booting under the RPL environment 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴  Booting procedure: - The system boots from Drive A if a bootable disk is inserted. If not, the system checks whether or not there is a hard disk. If there is no bootable hard disk, the system boots from the network. If there is a hard disk, the ROM asks "Boot from network (Y/N) ?". Type Y to boot from the network, and N to boot from the hard disk.  Supported servers: - NetWare RPL Server . The system boots from a NetWare RPL Server. - IBM LAN Server 3.0 . The system boots from an IBM LAN Server 3.0. - IBM LAN Server 4.0 . The system boots from an IBM LAN Server 4.0. - MS LAN MAN Server . The system boots from an MS LAN MAN Server. - MS NT 3.5/3.51 Server . The system boots from an MS NT3.5/3.51 Server. - DEC Pathwork . The system boots from DEC Pathwork. - The first available server . The system boots from any server on the network that responds first. Boot ROM Messages 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  After starting the Boot ROM, the following message appears to display D-Link's trademarks: D-Link ..........  The Boot ROM then checks whether or not Drive A is bootable. If not, it then checks for the hard disk.  If the hard disk exists, the following message appears: Boot from network (y/n) ?  Typing "y" display the following messages: Boot from what server? Please type a number within 3 seconds, or the system will automatically look for the server. 1. D-Link 2. NetWare 3. RPL  Select "1" (for D-Link), the system searches for D-Link's Superboot server, and boots from it. If no such server exists, the system then searches for any NetWare servers using the Ethernet_802.3 frame type.  If you select "2" (for NetWare), the system searches for any NetWare servers using the Ethernet_802.3 frame type, and boot from it.  If you select "3" (for RPL), the system searches for any RPL servers listed below, and boot from it. . NetWare Server with RPL protocol . IBM LAN Server 3.0 . IBM LAN Server 4.0 . MS LANMAN . MS NT 3.5 Advance Server Troubleshooting 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  If the remote boot function does not work, check the following: . Check that the boot ROM is properly installed. . Check that the adapter's remote boot function is enabled. . Check that the boot ROM address does NOT conflict with other devices. . Check that you specify the correct boot ROM size in the adapter's Setup program. . Restart your system by turning it off and then back on again. . If it still does not work, contact your local dealer.  If the IBM LAN SERVER fails, check the following: . Check that the LAN SERVER network started successfully. . Check that the LAN SERVER supports the remote boot function. . Check that the machine's ID has been created. . Check that the RPL server has been created. . For more information, please refer to the IBM LAN SERVER manual.  If the NetWare RPL boot server fails, check the following: . Check that the NetWare server is on-line. . Check that the adapter is installed properly. . Check that the NetWare server supports the RPL and IPX interface. . Check that the NetWare server supports the Ethernet_802.2 frame type. . Load the drivers as follows: :LOAD xxx.LAN frame=ethernet_802.2 :LOAD RPL.NLM :BIND IPX to xxx.LAN net=yyy :BIND RPL to xxx.LAN NOTE: The NetWare RPL only supports the Ethernet_802.2 frame type . If the problem still persists, contact your local dealer. . Check for the following error messages: a) "Error opening boot disk image file." or "Error reading boot disk image file." . Check the NetWare BOOT VOLUME. Use DOSGEN to generate a boot volume (default is NET$DOS.SYS). For information, refer to the NetWare's manual. . Check the BOOTCONF.SYS and NET$DOS.SYS files in the \LOGIN directory. . If you are using DOS v5.0, DR DOS v6.0 or above, execute the RPLFIX utility as follows: > RPLFIX NET$DOS.SYS NOTE: The DOSGEN utility is in the SYS:\SYSTEM subdirectory. RPLFIX is provided by Novell. It is possible to find these files in the latest workstation files on Novell internet site. b) If the remote boot function still fails, check whether or not the boot volume supports remote booting function.  If remote booting from a server fails, check the following: . Check that the boot volume supports the bootable function.  If MS LANMAN fails, check the following: . Check that the LANMAN network started successfully. . Check that LANMAN supports the remote boot function. . Check that the remote boot configuration for new adapters are set correctly. . Check that the machine ID has been created. . Check that the IPL server has been created. . For more information, please refer to the MS LANMAN manual. NOTE: - RPL (RIPL): Remote Initialization Program Loader. - NetWare RPL server, IBM LAN Server 3.0, IBM LAN Server 4.0, and MS LAN MAN server all comply with the RPL specifications.
