Installing Drivers
This section describes how to install the drivers associated with the system.
Ethernet Drivers
If Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 is pre-installed on your system and you
ordered the Ethernet card option, Ethernet drivers are installed on your hard drive in
the C:\netdrv directory.
Note
If you want to use Ethernet capabilities with Windows 95, your system must have
BIOS revision level 1.1 or higher. If the AHIP4+ board is installed, your system must
have BIOS revision level 1.7 or higher.
If MS-DOS is installed on your system, the Ethernet drivers are supplied on your
hard drive in the C:\netdrv directory, but they are not installed.
To install the MS-DOS Ethernet drivers,
1. At the C: prompt, type “cd netdrv”.
2. Once the C:\netdrv path is specified, type “install”.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.
Note
If you install Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 on your system, the Ethernet drivers
that are provided do not work with the Ethernet controller installed. You must use the
drivers provided by Xycom Automation. These drivers can be found on the Ethernet
Drivers disk that ships with your system.
Consult the Info directory on the drivers disk for additional installation information.
