Performing the Preinstallation Procedure
Preinstallation is important for proper setup of your Windows 95
system environment. You must perform this procedure to ensure
that the latest NIC driver and the 3Com NIC Diagnostics (a
Windows-based program) can be successfully installed.
Follow these steps to perform the preinstallation procedure:
1 Turn the power on and boot Windows 95.
2 Click Start in the Windows 95 taskbar, and then click Run .
3 Insert EtherDisk diskette 2 in drive A, and then enter:
a:\preinstl
4 Click OK .
The Preinstallation Software screen appears, as shown in
Figure 2-2 , displaying a list of available IRQs.
Record these IRQs. You need to verify that one of these available
IRQs is assigned to the NIC when the NIC Configuration Settings
screen (
Figure 3-2 ) appears later in the 3Com Installation Wizard.

If your PC supports the Windows 95 Plug and Play feature, the
next step is to install the NIC in your PC (see
Chapter 1 ). Then go
to the next section to configure the NIC.
If your PC does not support the Windows 95 Plug and Play
feature, the screen shown in
Figure 2-3 appears. Click OK and
go to the section “Disabling Plug and Play on the NIC ” later in
this chapter.
