I. Special Considerations
=========================

Configuration of the AT-2700TX resources is under PCI 
control. For most applications, no setup other than normal 
installation of the network software is necessary. To 
change port settings, to manually view the card's 
configuration or to run Diagnostics, use the CardAssistant 
setup program, SETUP27.EXE. 

The SETUP27 utility only runs on DOS. If you do not have 
a DOS boot partition on your Windows NT drive, boot DOS 
from floppy. 

To de-install the driver, use the remove driver option from 
your Windows NT Network Control Panel. See "IV. Removing 
an Existing Driver".


II. Files Needed for Installation
=================================

The following files are required for installation:

\At2700m4.SYS (NDIS4 driver)*
\OEMSETNT.INF (OEM setup file for NT 4.0 and greater)
\NDIS3\At2700m.SYS (NDIS3 driver)*
\NDIS3\OEMSETNT.INF (OEM setup file for NT 3.51)
\INFO\WINNT.TXT (this file)

*NOTE: Use the NDIS3 driver for Windows NT version 3.51. 
Use the NDIS4 driver for Windows NT 4.0 and greater. If 
you are running version 3.1, you must upgrade your copy 
of Windows NT. (You can check the Windows release 
number in the System Properties dialog box, General tab.)

III. Installing the Miniport Driver
===================================

If you are installing multiple adapter cards in a single, 
computer, complete the installation process for each card. 

1. If the AT-2700 adapter card is already installed, reboot 
   into Windows NT. If you have not installed the AT-2700 
   adapter card into your computer, shutdown the computer, 
   turn it off and unplug it. Install the card by following 
   the instructions that came with your computer. Then turn 
   the computer on again. Boot into Windows NT.

2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.

3. NT 4.0:  Select the Adapters tab; click the Add button.
From the Select Network Adapter pop-up window, do not select
from the Network Adapter list; choose the Have Disk button.

NT 3.5x: From the Network Adapter Card drop-down list in
the Add Network Adapter dialog box, choose "<OTHER> Requires
Disk from Manufacturer." Then click Continue.  
 
4. NT 4.0:  Insert the CardAssistant diskette into your
floppy disk drive; make sure a:\ appears in the text field
and click OK.

NT 3.5x: Insert the CardAssistant diskette into your floppy
disk drive; type "a:\NDIS3" in the text field and click OK.

5. Verify that "ATI 2700 Fast Ethernet card" appears in the
Choose OEM Option dialog box. Then click OK.

6. In the Network Settings dialog box, verify that "ATI 
2700 Fast Ethernet" card appears in the "Installed 
Adapter Cards" list. Then click OK.

7. This completes the card installation. Click OK. Windows 
NT prompts you to configure the protocols you will be 
using for network communications.

8. From the Network Settings Change dialog box, click 
Restart Now.


IV. Removing an Existing Driver
===============================

If any drivers need to be removed from your existing 
installation, remove them first, shutdown the NT operating 
system and reboot.

1. Double-Click the Network icon in the Control Panel.

2. NT 4.0:  Select the Adapters tab. Select the adapter to 
remove. Then  choose "Remove".

NT 3.5x: From the "Network Settings" dialog box, select
the adapter to remove. Then choose "Remove".
   
3. From the "Network Settings" dialog box, verify that the 
selected adapter has been removed from the "Installed 
Adapter Cards" list. Then choose "OK".

4. From the "Network Settings Change" dialog box, choose 
"Restart Now".

5. After the Windows NT operating system shuts down, turn 
the power switch off and on.

6. Log on to Windows NT. 

7. Follow the "New or Additional Installation" section of 
this file to install your AT-2700 Fast Ethernet Adapter.
