Running the installation program  
The support CD that came with the PCI Express card package contains the drivers  
that you have to install to avail all the features of this card.  
Windows® Server 2003 Advanced Server Driver Software  
Installing the Driver Software  
When the Windows Server 2003 system first boots up after installing a new  
hardware device, such as a ASUS PEB-G21 PCI Express x1 Network Interface Card,  
the system automatically detects the new hardware and prompts you to install the  
driver software for that device.

If you are performing an initial installation of NetWare 4.2/5.x/6.0 and have more  
than two adapters installed, the install program will allow you to allocate the actual  
number of packet receive buffers needed by the adapter. During installation, the  
RxBuffers value should be set to 32, the minimum number of buffers the driver  
requires for each adapter. Although this setting affects adapter performance, it  
allows installation of the operating system and up to eight adapters during initial  
install. After installation is complete, you need to increase the number of buffers  
allocated to the driver.  
15. After NetWare 5.x/6.0 has been successfully installed, set the minimum packet  
receive buffers parameter in the startup.ncf file to 1500 for each adapter in  
the system. Set the maximum packet receive buffers to three times the  
minimum packet receive buffers. Typically 4 MB of RAM is required per 1000  
receive buffers.  
16. In the autoexec.ncf file, delete the packet receive buffers parameter  
(RxBuffers=32) in the load statement for this adapter. Deleting the receive  
buffers phrase from the load statement resets the receive buffers parameter  
to the default value of 200 for this adapter.  
The server must be restarted for the new configuration.

Example: The default maximum number of receive buffers for the system is 500; the  
default minimum is 128. Edit the startup.ncf file to have the following entries. The  
actual numbers will be a function of the number of ports in the system. The following  
is an example for a system with 8 ports installed:  
set maximum packet receive buffers = 36000  
set minimum packet receive buffers = 12000

Execute prtconf to determine instance number of the NIC.  
ifconfig bcme[instance_number] plumb  
ifconfig bcme[instance_number] ip_address netmask....  
To make these changes permanent, follow these steps:  
1.  
2.  
Use a text editor (e.g., vi) and create a file named  
hostname.bcme[instance_number] in the /etc directory. Add the IP address of  
the interface to this file, then save and exit.  
Add a proper subnet mask to the file /etc/netmasks.  
In Solaris 7.0 (Intel platform), the operating system only allocates 36 pages of 4K  
physically contiguous memory. The driver needs about 130K of physically contiguous  
memory per NIC. In order to use more than one NIC the O/S has to allocate more  
memory. This can be done by setting an O/S system variable "lomempages" in /etc/  
system. For instance, when 4 NICs are installed in a Solaris 7 system, the physically  
contiguous memory is calculated as follows:  
4 NICs * 130K = 520 K ==> 130 pages of 4K is required.

Since this memory might be used by other driver in the system, 200 of 4K of  
memory is allocated. Add the following line in file /etc/system:  
set lomempages=200
