INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING NETWORK DRIVERS

This chapter describes how to install and configure network drivers for the EtherPower II 10/100 network card. The drivers for this EtherPower II 10/100 network card are not compatible with those on previous SuperDisks — even if the previous drivers were designed for other SMC Fast Ethernet network cards (Models SMC9332DST, SMC9332BDT, SMC9332BVT). Therefore, use only the drivers on the SuperDisk supplied with this network card.

Windows 95/98 Installation

1.If Windows 95/98 is already installed on your computer, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, complete a first-time Windows 95/98 installation without the SMC network card installed.

2.Shut down your PC, install the SMC network card, and attach network cable.

3.Restart Windows 95/98. Make sure you have your Windows 95/98 CD available (or you are aware of the path to those files on your hard drive).

4.A “New Hardware Found” window appears and asks you to select a driver to install. Select “Driver from disk provided by manufacturer” and click on “OK”.

Note: The installation procedure for users of Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 and Windows 98 may be slightly different than that described here. Refer to the Windows 95/98 driver installation document on the SMC SuperDisk for more information.

5.The “Install From Disk” window appears. Insert the SMC SuperDisk, specify the path to the root of the disk, and click on “OK”.
