Compaq Controller Installation Overview (Revised 3/5/98) Copyright 1998 Compaq Computer Corp. All rights reserved. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The drivers supplied on these diskettes support the following Compaq controllers: - Netelligent 10 T PCI UTP - Netelligent 10T/2 PCI UTP/Coax - Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI UTP - Netelligent Dual 10/100 TX PCI UTP ----------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes - If you are installing one of these controllers on a Compaq server in an NT or NetWare server environment, you can take advantage of the Advanced Network Fault Detection and Correction feature. Implementation instructions for Windows NT and NetWare Server are located in A:\NDISx\NETFLX3.HL_ and A:\NWSERVER\NWSERVER.TXT. - Whenever you have different versions of the drivers and support modules such as product diskettes, SmartStart CD- ROMs, and Compaq's BBS and FTP sites, always install those with the most recent date. Even if you have an earlier driver that loads and binds correctly with the controller, be sure to install the updated driver supplied. - NetWare Server users: You may find it easier to copy the new drivers to the server from a connected workstation before downing the server, particularly if you are upgrading the only network controller in your server. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Started Follow these steps to prepare for and perform your upgrade installation: 1. Back up your driver diskette(s), and install from your backup copies. 2. Check the "Disk Contents" (next section in this file) to locate your installation files and driver instructions. 3. For the driver you will be installing, read the installation instructions (the specific .TXT file for the driver, located in the subdirectory with the drivers). 4. Shut down the computer and install the controller according to the Installation Guide instructions. 5. Restart the computer in DOS and run the diagnostics (DIAG.EXE) to verify that the hardware is working. 6. Reboot the computer and complete the driver installation.
