---------------------------------------------
Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
-------------------------------------------------
Installation Procedure
----------------------
The following exmaple illustrates installation of the FA312 adapter
card. Exactly the same procedure can be applied to the FA311 adapter
card.
The Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM or diskettes are needed for the following
procedure.
1. Boot up the system with Windows NT 3.51. From the "Main" window,
select "Control Panel".
2. In the "Control Panel" window, select the "Network" icon.
3. In "Network Settings" window, select "Add Adapter". Windows NT
will display a list of all available drivers.
4. Select "Other" for third-party adapters not included in the list.
The program prompts for the directory containing the Ethernet
drivers.
5. Specify the full path of the driver, A:\WINNT351.
6. Windows NT will attempt to locate the OEMSETUP.INF file in the
specified path and copy the appropriate drivers into the Windows NT
system.
7. Choose the "NETGEAR FA312 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter".
Or the "NETGEAR FA311 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter" when installing
the FA311 adatper card.
8. The driver is now properly installed. The installation procedure
will then proceed to the next steps. Please refer to your Windows
NT installation guide for information on these steps.
9. A window appears allowing you to specify your network connection
type.
For "Network Type", choose the "AutoSense" option. The driver will
auto-detect the media that is connecting to the adapter.
Other possible connection type selections are "10Base-T", "10Base-T
full_duplex", "100Base-TX", and "100Base-TX full_duplex".
10. After the initial installation, the driver will be permanently
installed into the Windows NT system. Subsequent accesses to the
network driver list will include these drivers as options.

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
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.
