Installation
Summary of Installation Steps
Installation of your Allied Telesyn network adapter card is
simple and quick. Generally, the installation of one network
adapter card with common software on PS/2 MCA bus or
compatible workstations is mostly automated. This chapter also
gives procedures for more complex installations.
The following list of steps for the simplified Allied Telesyn
network adapter card hardware/software installation is
explained in greater detail later in the chapter.
1. Installing the adapter card in an MCA slot:
Physically install the card in the computer’s card cage.
2. Installing option files:
These are Allied Telesyn files called “option” files by your
MCA-bus installation software, which installs them.
3. Configuring the adapter card:
This process is done by your MCA-bus installation
software, automatically or manually.
4. Saving configuration to the system partition:
This creates a backup of your system configuration in your
computer’s system partition.
