Bios parameters for Netware 4.11 SMP

Hello,

How to configure the bios of a Proliant ML330G2 for Netware 4.11 SMP

On my proliant ML330G2, There isn't Netware 4.11 in the list of OS.
I don't have very good performances since it use 2 processors.
Can'I choose the good parameters manually?
Do I must to downgrade this server ?

I use:
Compaq System Configuration V2.58a
Compaq Server Diagnoses V11.03a
Rompaq V D10

Thank you

Hi, although 4.1 is not support (you might have problem with drivers and especially with the mass storage drive) but if you want to bypass the OS selection with the assisted you can use the manual path but you have to have try loading the drive from diskette. Hope this help
