NOTE: Make sure that the 3C509, 3C579, 3C509-TP,
3C579-TP, or 3C509-COMBO adapter is installed in
either the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus or
the Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus.
The 3C579 and 3C579-TP can only be installed in an
EISA bus.
Diagnostic Tests
This section describes how to use the Configuration and
Diagnostic Program to test EtherLink III adapters.
The diagnostic program is located on the EtherDisk

managers are installed before you run the Configuration
