ISI5634PCI/4/8 Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The ISI5634PCI card ships with drivers for each of the following operating systems: Windows® 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Novell Netware version 5.x, SCO Open Server 5, and Linux. This chapter describes the installation of these drivers.

In most cases, you will receive the ISI drivers on a CD-ROM. In certain situations, however, software may be downloaded from the MultiTech web site, often onto diskette, and then installed. The instructions in this chapter generally presume that the driver files are being installed from CD-ROM and therefore show driver files being loaded from locations on the ISI Family CD-ROM. If installation is from diskette, you will be loading driver files from file path locations on that diskette. For example, a driver file found at E:\servcard\drivers\win2000\ when installing from CD- ROM, might be located simply at A:\ if installation is from diskette.

Installing a device driver modifies your system. For this reason, only the super user (system administrator) is allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as administrator, find the person in your organization with this authorization (i.e., password). To begin driver installation, login as administrator. Then proceed with the appropriate section: Windows 2000, Windows NT or Windows 95/98/ Me. For Novell Netware, you need rights to read and write to the SYSTEM directory. The Unix-based operating systems, SCO and Linux, similarly require such administrative rights.

Windows 2000: Driver Installation

1.Ensure that your ISI5634PCI card has been installed according to the Hardware Installation Procedures in Chapter 2.

2.Turn on the PC and start Windows 2000.
