Configure the Controller and Install Drivers

Windows 95

Automatic Configuration

This PCI computer automatically detects and configures the onboard PCI- compliant ethernet controller. The BIOS automatically sets the controller’s IRQ level and I/O address.

If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps to configure. See “PCI Installation Tips” on page 28 for more information.

Install Network Drivers from Diskette

Have your Windows 95 installation CD or disks available, as Windows 95 prompts for them when you enable the onboard ethernet.

Installing Network Drivers from Diskette

1.After you enable the onboard ethernet, start Windows 95. You’ll see the New Hardware Found dialog box. If this box does not appear and Windows 95 starts normally, you may need to manually add the onboard ethernet controller. See “Manually Adding an OnBoard Ethernet Controller” on page 4.

2.Click “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer,” then click OK. You’ll see the Install From Disk dialog box.

3.Insert the Configuration and Drivers disk.
4.Specify A:\ (or B:\) as the path, then click OK.

5.Follow prompts for any Windows 95 installation disks and restart when prompted. (If you installed from the CD, the installation files are typically located at D:\Win95, where D is your CD-ROM drive.)

After restarting Windows 95, connect to your network by double-clicking the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop.
