             you have the proper OSA IPMI device driver installed.
    
     Note 2: The IBM Director application program must not be running on the 
             server when this mapping layer software is being installed. Please

     The following instructions show how to install the software for NetWare 
     onto your server.  The latest software is available from IBM's 
     software download web site listed in section 5 below.

     The software for NetWare is typically installed or updated from 
     diskette, so after creating the diskette, insert it into the server's 
     floppy diskette drive, and from the NetWare system console enter the 
     following command:
          
          LOAD A:\SETUP
     You may be prompted to answer a question if a previous installation of this
     support software already exists on the server.

     If you prefer a quiet installation or upgrade that accepts the setup defaults
     and does not issue prompts during the installation process then issue the 
     setup command with a -Q or -q as shown below:
          
          LOAD A:\SETUP -q
