Installing the Driver in Windows 98
To install the network driver and NIC software:

The operating system detects the NIC. The Insert Disk dialog box appears, prompting
you to insert the EtherCD.
2 Make sure that the EtherCD is inserted in the CD-ROM drive.
3 Click OK.
4 Open the pull-down menu and select:
c:\windows\options\cabs
5 Click OK.
Files are copied.
You are prompted for the Windows 98 CD.
6 Remove the EtherCD, insert the Windows 98 CD, and then click OK.
Files are copied. You are prompted to restart the PC.
7 Remove the Windows 98 CD, and then click Yes to restart the PC.
The installation is complete. Go to “Verifying Successful Installation” on page 22 to
confirm that the NIC is installed properly.
Windows NT 4.0
After you have physically installed the NIC in the PC and connected it to the network, as
described in Chapter 2, follow the steps below to install the driver and NIC software.
1 Turn on the power to the PC.
2 Double-click the My Computer icon, then the Control Panel icon, and then the
Network icon.
The Network window appears.
3 Click the Adapters tab.
If networking has not been installed on your PC before, Windows NT asks you if you want
to install networking. Click Yes. Refer to the WINNT.TXT file located on the EtherCD or
your Windows NT documentation for instructions.
4 Click Add.
The Select Network Adapter dialog box appears.
NOTE: If the Add New Hardware Wizard starts, the NIC preinstallation program
was not run on the PC. You can follow the prompts on the screen to install the
network driver only. For instructions, see the WIN98.TXT file located in the
HELP directory on the EtherCD.
NOTE: If you are prompted for the EtherCD, click OK. Make sure that the drive
letter of the CD-ROM drive (for example, d:\) appears in the dialog box, and then
click OK.
NOTE: You must restart the PC to complete the installation. After Windows
restarts, double-click the Network icon in the Windows Control Panel and make
sure that the correct configuration settings are selected for your network
environment. Consult your system administrator for assistance.
