INSTALLING THE NETWORK CARD

4.Replace the chassis cover on your PC and power it on.

5.The EZ Card 1000 should be automatically configured by the host computer’s BIOS. However, if you have an older computer, you may have to manually configure the computer’s BIOS settings (see Appendix, A “Troubleshooting”).

6.The SMC SuperDisk that accompanies the EZ Card 1000 contains all the network operating system drivers supported by this card. Please read the “RELEASE.TXT” file on the diskette for a list of all drivers. Refer to Chapter 2 in this guide for instructions on installing drivers. Also, a text file is included with each driver to detail the proper installation procedure. Any new or updated drivers can be downloaded from SMC’s Web site (see the back cover of this guide).

PCI Configuration

In most cases, your network card is automatically configured when you power-up your computer. In certain computers, however, you must modify PCI settings by running your computer’s BIOS Setup program. For more information, refer to “PCI Compatibility” on page A-2.
