The next step is to install the software, as described in Installing Software on page 38.

If your site network installation procedures require you to verify that installed hardware is functional before you install software, run the 3CR990.EXE DOS diagnostics program before installing the driver. This program is located on the 3Com EtherCD.

Connecting the Remote Wake-Up Cable

This section describes how to connect the Remote Wake-Up cable from the NIC to the PC motherboard. Connecting the Remote Wake-Up cable is optional. Connect this cable only if your NIC supports Remote Wake-Up and you want to use this feature. (For information on obtaining a Remote Wake-Up cable from 3Com, see Remote Wake-Up Cable on page 22.)
