2-2 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE EISA ADAPTER

Inspecting the Adapter

CAUTION: Each adapter is packed in a clear plastic antistatic container to protect it during shipment. To avoid damaging any static-sensitive components after removal from the container, be sure to reduce any static electricity on your person. One way to do this is to touch the metal chassis of your computer. You can maintain grounding by wearing a wrist strap attached to the chassis.

1Open the shipping container and carefully remove its contents.

The package should contain the following items:

■3Com EtherLink III Parallel Tasking EISA bus master adapter

■EtherLink III Parallel Tasking EISA Bus Master Network Adapters User Guide

■3C59X EtherDisk diskette

2Verify that you have received all items, and inspect each item for damage.

If you find any damage, contact your network supplier and the carrier that delivered the package.

Installing the Boot PROM

The boot PROM is optional and can be purchased separately. If you are installing it onto the adapter, follow the instructions that accompanied the boot PROM.

Inserting the Adapter

To insert the adapter into the computer, follow these steps:

1Turn off the computer and disconnect the unit from its power source.

2Remove all jewelry from your hands and wrists.
