Quick installation
This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. For a more detailed description, refer to page 16, “The Install Pro- gram”.
1.Card and Socket Services software should be bundled with your computer; if it is not, contact your dealer. It is re- commended that you use this software when installing your PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Card.
A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows the PCMCIA card to automatically configure itself. While the system is on, available system resources and insertion or removal of the card will automatically be detected.
2.Run the INSTALL.EXE program found on your driver disk. The install program guides you through the installation process and will install the network drivers needed to run the card on your network operating system.
If you successfully completed the installation, go to step 5. If installation was unsuccessful, then go to the next step.
3.If you are using Card and Socket Services, select auto- configuration. The install program will prompt Card and Socket Services to assign an available hardware resource configuration.
4.If you do not have Card and Socket Services or if your card does not work with your version of Card and Socket Serv- ices, the enabler program can communicate directly with the PCMCIA controller on your system. However, you must select hardware resource settings that are not being used by other devices; otherwise, your PC system may have device conflicts.
