■

3C905C NIC

■

3Com

EtherDisk

diskettes 1, 2, and 3

■

Installing Multiple NICs

If you are installing multiple 3C905C NICs in a PC or server,

follow the instructions in “Installing Multiple NICs” in

Chapter 3 of the user guide. Do

not

follow the instructions

in this quick guide.

Upgrading Windows 95 to Windows 98

If you are upgrading a PC from Windows 95 to

Windows 98 that already has a 3C90x NIC installed,

follow the instructions in the WIN98.TXT ﬁle located

in the HELP directory on

EtherDisk

diskette 3.

Updating

EtherDisk

Software

If you want to update your current version of

EtherDisk

software

EtherDisk

5.x software, follow the instructions

in the text ﬁle appropriate for your operating system in the

HELP directory on

EtherDisk

diskette 3.

Running the Preinstallation Program

Before you physically install the NIC in a PC, you must run

the following preinstallation program to properly set up

your system environment.

CAUTION:

If you do not perform this procedure, the NIC

driver and software will not be installed correctly.

To run the NIC preinstallation program:

1 Do not install the NIC in the PC.

2 Turn on the power to the PC and start Windows.

3 Insert

EtherDisk

diskette 1 in drive A.

4 From the Windows

Start

menu, select

Run

5 Run the preinstallation program. Enter:

a:\preinstl

6 After the preinstallation program ﬁnishes, turn off

the power to the PC.

The next step is to install the NIC in the PC.

Book Page 4 Friday, March 19, 1999 11:21 AM

Installing the NIC

To install the NIC in the PC:

1 Make sure that you have run the preinstallation

program, as described in the previous section.

CAUTION:

Before handling the NIC, touch the bare metal

case of your PC to discharge static electricity from your

body. While you are handling the NIC, wear a wrist strap

grounded to the PC chassis.

2 Remove all jewelry from your hands and wrists. Use

only insulated or nonconducting tools.

3 Make sure that the power to the PC is turned off and

that the power cord is unplugged.

4 Remove the cover from the PC.

5 Locate an empty, nonshared bus mastering PCI slot

and remove the corresponding slot cover. Save

the screw.

Do not install the NIC in a

shared

PCI slot. Avoid any

PCI slot next to an ISA slot. This is often a shared slot

and does not support bus mastering.

If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, check your

PC documentation or ask your system administrator.

If you are planning to install the Remote Wake-Up cable or

a cable for the SOS or SMBus connector, choose an empty

PCI slot that is close to the matching connector on the

PC motherboard.

6 Carefully insert the NIC into the empty PCI slot (see

Figure 1). Press ﬁrmly to ensure that the NIC is fully

seated in the slot.
