Windows 95 Installation for PCI

1Power OFF your system and install your Adaptec PCI adapter in any bus mastering PCI slot.

2After booting up Windows 95, the operating system detects any newly installed adapter, and requests that the driver diskette be inserted.

3Put the diskette in drive A and specify a:\win95 as the path to the driver.

4During the driver installation process, Windows 95 also requests the WIN95 CD-ROM or diskette so that configuration files can be copied from it.

5Make sure that at least one network client and one protocol are installed, in addition to the Adaptec adapter driver now listed under Control Panel/Network.

6To configure any of the parameters on the Adaptec adapter, highlight the adapter in the list of installed drivers and select Properties.

7After you have made all changes, Windows 95 will restart your system.
