You can run the program and perform the tests at any time after installing the adapter to verify the installation or you can run it when a fault is suspected.
Before running the program
Before running the setup program, make sure that the adapter is cor- rectly installed in a computer with the PCI bus.
The setup program must be run from the DOS prompt. When using the program to run diagnostics on the adapter, you should not load memory managers or other device drivers. To avoid this, press [F5] when DOS (version 6.x) loads, after the message "Starting MS- DOS..." appears on the screen. This prevents the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files from being executed.
When the program is executed, it detects all installed Fast Ethernet PCI adapters in the computer and shows the basic information of the first adapter found. You may press [PgUp] key or [PgDn] key to browse the information of each adapter and select a target adapter to perform the optional tests shown on the main menu.
Together with the SETUP.EXE, a SETUP.DOC file is also contained in the adapter driver diskette. It contains detailed information about this program.
