HOW TO INSTALL DE500 WITH WINDOWS 95
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before attempting to use the NetWare ODI Client 32 driver from this
disk, some steps must be taken to prevent the operating system from
installing the wrong driver.
1. First, make sure that the NetWare Client 32 files have been
installed on your system. If not, they can be found on your
NetWare CD or floppy disks or by downloading updates from Novell's
site on the WWW.
2. This step is only necessary if you are installing a DE500-XA
with Windows 95. If you are installing a DE500-AA, proceed to
step 3.
Before inserting the adapter in your system, boot Windows 95 and
bring up a DOS prompt. Change directories to C:\WINDOWS\INF.
This directory is a hidden directory. Rename the NETPCI.INF file
to NETPCI.BAK using the following command:
C:\WINDOWS\INF>move NETPCI.INF NETPCI.BAK
NOTE: Any other *.INF files that contain the string
"PCI\VEN_1011&DEV_0009"
may result in unpredictable installs to your system. Rename
any .INF files that contain this string *except* ODIDE500.INF.
This will ensure that the DE500.LAN driver will be loaded on
your adapter. This is only necessary for installs involving the
DE500-XA. The DE500-AA supports subvendor id and can be
uniquely identified by Windows 95 without this step.
3. Exit Windows 95 and shutdown the system.
4. Insert the network adapter in your system.
5. Power up your system and boot Windows 95. During the boot of the
operating system, Windows 95 will autodetect the new hardware you
just installed. You will see a message that says it has detected
a new PCI Ethernet Controller.
6. Next, Windows 95 will request the driver that you wish to install.
Select "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer." and
click on OK.
7. When prompted, tell Windows 95 to copy manufacturer's files from:
A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\
At this point Windows 95 should have copied ODIDE500.INF and
DE500.LAN to the appropriate directories.
8. Windows 95 may ask for the location of the Windows 95 CD or
floppy disks. Enter the proper path to your source media.
9. After all the necessary files have been copied, a reboot may be
requested by Windows 95. Click on YES to reboot the system and
once the reboot is complete, the adapter will be operational.

Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
