■If your computer is using a memory manager (all computers using Microsoft® Windows™ use a memory manager such as EMM386 or its equivalent), you must set aside upper memory for the Card Services memory, the MMIO area, and the shared RAM area. Refer to the section “Avoiding Memory Manager Conﬂicts” in Chapter 3 or 4, or Appendix A, for a sample procedure.

Installation and Conﬁguration Options

The software on the TokenDisk diskette provides two methods to install the adapter:

■AutoLink™ installation

■Standard installation and conﬁguration

These methods are described in the following sections.

AutoLink Installation

The AutoLink feature can be used to make your computer a NetWare® DOS ODI client. The AutoLink program conﬁgures and tests the 3C689 adapter, installs the client driver and NetWare client ﬁles, and modiﬁes computer startup ﬁles to allow you to log in to a NetWare server after you reboot your computer. For more information about the AutoLink feature, see Chapter 3, “Using the AutoLink Feature for NetWare.”

Standard Installation and Conﬁguration

The standard installation and conﬁguration procedures can be used to conﬁgure the 3C689 adapter, test the adapter, and install drivers in DOS- and OS/2-based network operating systems. For more information about these procedures, refer to Chapter 4, “Standard Installation and Conﬁguration,” Chapter 5, “Installing Network Drivers,” and Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
