Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf4016b, the Intel EtherExpress PRO/1000 
Gigabit Server Adapter Supplement, installs and configures a new driver
that supports this Intel LAN adapter:

    EtherExpress PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter          PWLA8490


Software Notes and Recommendations
----------------------------------

SLS ptf4016b should only be installed on these releases:

    SCO UnixWare Application Server Release 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3
    SCO UnixWare Personal Edition Release 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3

In addition, this NIC should only be installed on systems that meet the
following minimum configuration:

   - An SCO supported 200MHz or faster Pentium Pro/Pentium II class machine

   - 64MB of system memory

   - One available 32-bit or 64-bit busmaster PCI slot

   - The latest BIOS for the system

   - Fiber optic cabling and connectors that meet 62.5/125um or 50/125um
     multimode specifications

   - An IEEE 802.3z-compliant gigabit switch (such as the Intel Express
     Gigabit switch), or a buffered repeater

Note: A machine with a slower processor, or one with less then 64MB memory,
      may function, but with  less than optimal performance.  If problems 
      are experienced on a system not meeting the minimum hardware 
      requirements, the problem must be reproduced on a supported 
      configuration before it can be reported to Support Services.


Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1. Download the ptf4016b.Z file to the /tmp directory on your machine.

2. As root, uncompress the file and add the package to your system
   using these commands:

        $ su
        Password: <type your root password>
        # uncompress /tmp/ptf4016b.Z
        # pkgadd -d /tmp/ptf4016b
        # rm /tmp/ptf4016b

The release notes displayed prior to installation can be found in:

        /var/sadm/pkg/ptf4016/install/ptf4016.txt

3. Configure the driver:

   a. Invoke the NIC Support Utility.  The utility can be accessed from the
      Desktop GUI "Admin_Tools -> Networking -> NICS_Setup" icons, or
      from the command line as "/usr/sbin/niccfg".  The utility provides a
      simple menu-oriented graphical interface with online help.

        # /usr/sbin/niccfg

   b. Select the "Accept all entries" item from the menu presented.
      The utility will dynamically load the e1000 driver into the
      UnixWare kernel.

4. Establish an Internet configuration for your system.

   a. The Internet setup required for your Internet node can be established
      by using the utility access from the Desktop GUI "Admin_Tools ->
      Networking -> Internet_Setup" icons or the command line utility,
      "/etc/inet/menu".

5. Reboot the system.

Note: A system reboot is required following installation of this SLS
for the kernel sections to take effect. However, if you have not already 
installed any other SLS that you need, you should do so before rebooting.


If you have questions regarding this SLS, or the product on which 
it is installed, please contact your software supplier.
