Quick Installation

for Windows 95

This sheet will guide you through the basic steps needed to install the Instant Gigabit Network Adapter onto your network. If you have any problems during installation, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the User Guide.

6.Once Windows has located the drivers, the following window will appear. To use this driver, click the Finish button.

At this point, the installation may require files from your Windows 95 CD-ROM. If prompted, insert your Windows 95 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive and enter d:\win95 in the box that appears (where “d” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive). If you were not supplied with a Windows 98 CD- ROM, your Windows files may have been placed on your hard drive by your computer manufacturer. While the loca- tion of these files may vary , many manufacturers use c:\win- dows\options\cabs as the path. Try entering this path into the box. If no files are found, check your computer’s documenta- tion or contact your computer manufacturer for more infor- mation.

7.Once the driver is installed, the Advanced Settings screen will appear. The default settings should allow the Adapter to function properly. Click the OK button to continue. For more information about these settings, refer to the Advanced Settings section of the User Guide.

8.When asked if you want to restart your PC, remove all disks from your computer’s drives and click the Yes button. If Windows does not ask you to restart your PC, click the Start button, choose Shut Down, choose Restart, then click Yes.

The Windows 95 Version B driver installation is complete. Refer to the section in your User Guide on Configuring the Instant Gigabit Network Adapter for Windows 95, 98, and Millennium for more information about the setup of the Adapter.
