Intel PRO/100 TX PCI manual Windows NT Server or Workstation, Automatic configuration

Windows NT Server or Workstation

1Automatic configuration

PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters while booting. The PRO/100B TX PCI adapter IRQ level and I/O address are automatically set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.

Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Configuration is complete when Windows NT starts or the DOS prompt appears.

If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps to configure. See the PCI Installation Tips section on page 17 for more information.

2Install network drivers - Windows NT Version 4.0 only

After putting the adapter in the computer and starting Windows NT, you need to install the Intel drivers. Have the Windows NT CD-ROM disk available for this procedure.

If you are installing Windows NT 4.0 at this time, click the Start Search button when the network adapter installation window appears. This allows NT to auto-detect the adapter (as the “Intel 82557-based 10/100 Ethernet Adapter”). You may then skip steps 1 - 4 below.

1Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.

2Click the Adapters tab in the window that appears.
