Preparing to Install the Software
Setting up the EtherFast card's software involves
installing a network driver onto your computer. The
driver will allow the card to communicate with your
Network Operating System software package, or NOS.
Popular NOSs include Windows 98, Windows for
Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT , Novell
NetWare, and many others. The 3.5" software disk that
is included with the EtherFast card contains network
drivers for most NOS packages, along with instructions
describing how to install them.
Before attempting to install a network driver for the
EtherFast card, your NOS should already be installed on
your computer.
If you are using Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows
for Workgroups, Windows NT, or Novell NetWare, you
will find the EtherFast card's network driver setup
instructions printed in this user guide. Turn now to the
appropriate section of this booklet to install the
EtherFast card's network driver for your particular NOS.
If you are using a NOS package other than the five list-
ed above, you will find the network driver installation
instructions on Program disk 1 that is included with the
card. To read and/or print the network driver setup
instructions for your particular network software pack-
age, insert the disk 1 into your computer's floppy disk
drive and run the program on the disk called
README.EXE. If you are using Windows 95, for
example, you could click on Start, then Run, and type
a:\readmeto run the README program on the disk.
After following the instructions on the EtherFast card
disk, the EtherFast card will be ready for use.
