2-6 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

12Turn on the power to the computer.

When the computer power is turned on, the system BIOS should enable the PCI slot and initialize the 3C971-F adapter configuration space.

The 3C971-F ATMLink PCI adapter is plug-and-play with systems that are compliant with the PCI Local Bus Revision 2.1 specification. Computers that are not compliant may require manual configuration using a PCI Device Configuration menu in the BIOS. See your system documentation for PCI device configuration.

The installation of the hardware for the 3C971-F ATMLink PCI adapter is complete.

The next step is to install the network software driver for the adapter card. Refer to Chapter 3 for Windows NT™ 3.51 workstations and servers, or to Chapter 4 for NetWare™ 4.1 servers.
