### Installing Drivers from the Server Console

Use this procedure to install a Novell NetWare driver from the server console.

#### Requirements

- Your server must be equipped with a CD-ROM drive. If it is not so equipped, you can install the drivers from a Windows client that has a CD-ROM drive (see Installing Drivers from a Windows Client).
- You need to know whether your CD-ROM is DOS-mounted or a Novell-mounted. If it is DOS-mounted, the CD-ROM drive is accessible to DOS applications and Novell NetWare applications without mounting.

  If your CD-ROM drive is Novell NetWare-mounted, you must be sure that all of the Novell NetWare CD-ROM device drivers are loaded. Insert the CD and enter the following command to mount it before you begin your installation:

  `cd mount digi_cd`

  NOTE: Novell NetWare 5.x will automatically mount the CD if the CD-ROM device drivers are loaded.

#### Procedure

1. At the system command prompt, enter one of the following (the command differs between Novell NetWare versions 4.x and 5.x):
   `load install` (Novell NetWare 4.11 and later)
   `load nwconfig` (Novell NetWare 5.x)

   A Novell NetWare menu will be displayed.

2. Choose Product Options > Other Installation Actions > Install a Product Not Listed.
3. Choose a source directory from which the drivers will be copied:

   Press F3, then specify the path to the CD-ROM drive, as shown below:

   Dos Mounted | Novell-Mounted
   `Drive:\drivers\netware\ras` | `digi_cd:\drivers\netware\ras`

   where `Drive` is the drive letter of the CD device under DOS.
4. Choose Install Product from the menu.
5. At the prompt, choose the server on which you want driver files installed.
6. At the Start installation? prompt, choose Yes.
7. When the installation is complete, exit the installation and then bring down and restart the server.
