                  NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter
                  -----------------------------------------
               Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
               ------------------------------------------------

  Getting Started
  ---------------

  The Windows NT CD-ROM or diskettes are needed for the following procedure.

  Installation Procedure
  ----------------------
  1.  Insert the FA310TX network adapter into your computer and start your
      Windows NT 4.0 system normally.

  2.  Open "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Networks" icons.

  3.  Select "Adapters" -> "Add" -> "Have disk".  Enter the drive letter
      where the Drivers and Diagnostics disk is inserted.

        eg. > A:\
 
      Select the "NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI adapter".

  4.  Windows NT will copy the driver files from the WINNT directory.
      It also will pop up with the configuration window.  You can assign the
      "Connection Type", "Transmit Threshold" and "Network Address" here.

      For "Connection Type", choose "AutoSense".  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".
      
      For "Transmit Threshold", choose "256 Bytes". The smaller the transmit
      threshold, the better the adapter's transmitting performance is. The
      default value "256 Byte" is suited to most computers with Pentinum or
      better processors. If you are using a computer with 486 processor,
      please choose the "Store and Forward" selection. Other possible transmit
      threshold selections are "Store and Forward", "36 Bytes", "72 Bytes",
      "96 Bytes", "128 Bytes", and "160 Bytes".

      Caution: Unless necessary, do not modify the NetworkAddress field.
      The driver will use the default unique Ethernet address contained in
      the serial ROM on the adapter.       

  5.  After completing the file copying process, Windows NT will prompt
      you to reboot the PC.  Select YES to reboot the system.
