INSTALLATION
2.1.2
Unpacking the Adapters
The network adapter and software are shipped separately. The
hardware package should contain one box with a network adapter
and this manual.
The shrink-wrapped software package contains a
Network
Software Installation Guide,
and the Cabletron software diskette.
To unpack the adapter and the software, carefully remove the
adapter from the box. Leave the adapter in the conductive plastic
clamshell until you are ready to install it.
Open the shrink-wrapped package when you are ready to install
the software. Be sure to read the licensing agreement printed on
the back cover of the
Network Software Installation Guide
.
Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately if there
is any discrepancy in materials.
2.2
PREPARING THE ADAPTERS
The E2200 type network adapters do not have any jumpers or
switches to set. Each type of E2200 adapter is shipped with factory
default configuration information stored in EEPROM. You can use
Cabletron’s utility, QuickSet™, to change the default configuration
parameters, should it become necessary.
The network adapters are sensitive to static discharges. Hold
the adapter by the top of the metal bracket and the opposite top
corner. Avoid contact with the computer bus edge connector
or any of the adapter’s components. Failure to observe all
static precautions could result in damage to the adapter.
