Installing the Network Driver

IMPORTANT: Before installing the network driver, make sure that:

You have run the preinstallation program

You have installed the card in the PC and connected to the network

You have the Windows installation files (for Windows 95/98 only).
(These files may have been already copied to your hard drive when you
installed Windows).

The network driver installation procedures vary depending on your operating system.

1. Windows 95/98/2000 automatically detects the presence of the network card

and prompts you to insert the Support CD for the network driver. Follow the
screen instructions. Restart the PC after completing the driver installation.

2. For Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, install the driver by double-clicking the Control

Panel icon, then the Network icon. Insert the Support CD when prompted.
Restart the PC after completing the driver installation.

Refer to the online User Guide in the Support CD for detailed installation procedure of
each operating system.
