EtherDisk 2 when prompted, and then click OK.
Files are copied. The diskette creation is complete.
Running the Preinstallation Program
Before you physically install the NIC in a PC, run the NIC
preinstallation program to properly set up your system
environment.
The preinstallation program prevents conflicts with the NIC
and your operating system. It guides you through the NIC
installation and must be run
before
you physically install
the NIC in the PC.
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 Quit any open applications and disable the
automatic protection feature of any anti-virus
software that may be running.
4 Insert the EtherCD in the CD-ROM drive.
The
EtherCD
Welcome screen appears.
If the
EtherCD
Welcome screen does not appear, enter
the following command from the Run option of the
Windows Start menu:
d:\installs\setup.exe
where d:\ represents the letter name of the CD-ROM drive.
5 Click NIC Software.
6 Click NIC Drivers and Diagnostics.
For instructions on using the installation diskettes to
install the network driver, see the text file for your
operating system in the HELP directory on the
EtherCD
