INSTALLATION

2.2.1 Unpacking the Adapter

The network adapter and its software are shipped separately. The complete installation package should contain one conductive pouch with the adapter and this manual. The software is shipped in a shrink-wrapped package containing the software, a license agreement, and a Network Software Installation Guide.

Carefully remove the conductive pouch from the box. Leave the adapter in the conductive pouch until you are ready to install it. Open the shrink-wrapped software package when you are ready to install the software. Be sure to read the license agreement.

CAUTION: The adapter is sensitive to static discharges. Hold it by the corners. Avoid contact with the PC bus edge connector or any of the components, except the jumpers. Failure to observe all static precautions can result in damage to the adapter.

2.2.2 Copying the Software

Before you begin the installation, it is important that you make a backup copy of the Cabletron software supplied with the adapter. Use the disk copy routine for your PC to make a duplicate copy of the Cabletron software diskettes. Store the original software in a safe place, and use the copies for the actual installation procedure.

2.2.3 Preparing the E1100 for Installation

The E11xx Series employs a socket for an optional Boot PROM. All parameters except the I/O base address and PROM base address are set through software. Instructions are included for setting the I/O base address, and installing the Boot PROM. Figure 2-1, an E1112 adapter, shows the locations of the jumpers and Boot PROM socket. Boot PROM addressing is covered in the installation instructions included with the Boot PROM.
