1. How to install the Online User Manual under Windows
------------------------------------------------------

 1. Start Windows.
 2. Insert the software diskette into the PC diskette drive.
 3. From the Program Manager, select "File" menu. (For Windows 95, click on
    "Start" button).
 4. Select "Run".
 5. Type "A:\SETUP" and select OK.
 6. The setup will install the Online User Manual.


2. Hardware notes.
-----------------

The Silicom Serial Card   supports  "Hot"  insertion and removal. Thus,
the PC Card can be inserted into and/or removed from a PC that is either
switched off or switched on.


The  Silicom  Serial Card   supports   Card  Services   version   2.10,
including  automatic  resources allocation  and  Plug-and-Play  features.
If you have a version of  Card  and Socket Services software before 2.10,
please contact your computer/Operating System manufacturer to receive  an
upgrade.


3. Installing Silicom Serial Card Support Driver manually.
-----------------------------------------------------------

In special  cases  manual  installation might be necessary. The following
sections describe the required procedures.

In order to work with the Silicom Serial Card without Card  and  Socket
Services, you need to install the Silicom Serial Card Support Driver.
Add  the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

      DEVICE = path\SRSDRV.EXE  [parameters]

The Silicom Serial Card Support Driver may also be loaded from the  DOS
command prompt or from a batch file:

      path\SRSDRV.EXE  [parameters]

Without   command   line   parameters,   the   driver   uses  default  or
auto-configured  settings.  To  customize  the driver's settings, use the
following syntax:

      SRSDRV [/irq=x] [/port=xxx] [/mem=xxxx]
             [/help] [/?] [socket=0|1] [type=x] [noenable]
             [/base=xxx] [/fast=1|2|3]

The full list of the parameters is described  in the following section of
this document.

IMPORTANT! Incorrect use of parameters may result in faulty  operation of
the PC Card. Make sure you are familiar  with  the  different  parameters
before using them.

4. Memory managers
------------------

If a memory manager is loaded you may experience memory setting conflicts.
To avoid this potential conflict, modify the memory manager command line
in the CONFIG.SYS file to exclude the memory range used by the Serial PC
Card. For example:
  For EMM386, type (add) the following:
      device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=d000-d400

  For 386Max, type the following:
      device=c:\386max.sys pro=c:\386max.pro ram=d000-d400
