3. Run Diagnostics
Running diagnostic tests perform basic function verification for on board
LAN adapters. The basic Diagnostic tests include:
-EEPROM Test: EEPROM data read/write test
-Diagnostics On Board: Performs on board basic function verification
-Diagnostics On Network: To run this test on the network, you will need another computer set up as a Responder to receive packets from the adapter being tested and echo them back to the adapter. This checks the adapter’s ability for communication over the network with another adapter to receive and transmit network packets.
4.Software Installation Installing Network Drivers
You must install a network driver to allow the adapter to work with your network operating system.
The system board provides various network drivers on the driver diskette. The following provides the installation procedures for different network drivers.
Note: Please install the “VIA PATCH FILE”first if you want to link your LAN with Windows 98
For detailed information of each OS installation, please refer to the README (.TXT) file on the driver diskette.
