Page 30

4-2 CHAPTER 4: STANDARD INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

The adapter can be configured automatically or manually. Automatic configuration selects configuration values for the adapter. Manual configuration allows you to select the resources yourself.

If you are preparing your computer for use as a Novell NetWare DOS client, follow the instructions in Chapter 3.

Configuration Requirements

Verify that you meet the following requirements in addition to those stated in the Introduction.

The 3C689 adapter must be installed in your computer and connected to the network.

No drivers should be loaded during configuration.

Avoiding Memory Manager Conflicts

If you are using a memory manager on your computer (all computers running Windows have a memory manager such as EMM386 or its equivalent), you need to inform the memory manager of the memory used by the 3C689 adapter. The

3C689 adapter requires the following memory:

CIS memory 4 K

MMIO memory 8 K

Shared RAM page size 16 K

If you have Card Services installed in your computer, use the procedure described in Appendix A instead.

To make this process easier, the following example combines these memory requirements into one memory range. Follow these steps to exclude the memory range used by the

3C689 adapter:

1 Make a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS file. Type:

copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD
