 =============================
 DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
 =============================

 Use one of the following procedures to match your LAN Manager version,
 either 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2. Then, refer to the sample configuration file
 (following all three procedures) that also corresponds to your version.
 Some circumstances require you to change settings in those files.

 LAN Manager Version 2.0
 -----------------------

  1. Execute the Setup utility from the LAN Manager directory.  The
     default directory is LANMAN.DOS.

  2. Select "Import Network Drivers..." and press Enter.

  3. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette for the SMC EZ Card 10 Ethernet PCI
     cards into the floppy drive. Press Enter to see the list of Imported
     Network Drivers.

  4. Using the space bar, select the "SMC EZ Card PCI 10 Ethernet Adapter"
     driver, and then press Enter.
 
  5. Follow the prompts displayed to complete the process,
     until "Network Driver" is displayed.

  6. Identify the network card. Select "SMC EZ Card PCI 10 Ethernet 
     Adapter."

  7. Select the "Add driver" and "Add protocol" options.
     Select "OK" to confirm.  The computer's parameters should be displayed.

  8. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

  9. Save all selections by selecting "Save" from the "Action Menu."

 10. Press F3 to exit.


 LAN Manager Version 2.1
 -----------------------

  1. Execute the "Setup" utility from the LAN Manager directory.  The
     default directory is LANMAN.DOS.

  2. Select "Network Drivers..." in the "Configuration" field.
     Press Enter.

  3. Select "Add New Config" and press Enter to display a list of drivers.

  4. Select "Other Driver" and press Enter.

  5. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette for the EZ Card 10 Ethernet PCI card 
     into the floppy drive. 
     Enter the path name (e.g., a:\mslanman.dos\drivers\ethernet\smc\ for
     floppy drive A).  Select "OK" to continue.

  6. Select the "SMC EZ Card PCI 10 Ethernet Adapter" driver.
     Select "OK."

  7. Using the space bar, highlight an appropriate protocol and select "OK."

  8. The "Configuration Complete" message should be displayed.

  9. Save the configuration by selecting "Save."

 10. Press F3 to exit.


 LAN Manager Version 2.2
 -----------------------

  1. Execute the "Setup" utility from the LAN Manager directory.  The
     default directory is LANMAN.DOS.

  2. Select "Network Drivers..." in the "Configuration" field.
     Press Enter to confirm.

  3. Select "Add New Config" and press Enter to display a list of network
     drivers.
 
  4. Select "Other Driver."  Press Enter.

  5. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette for the EZ Card 10 Ethernet PCI card
     into the floppy drive.
     Enter the path name (e.g., a:\mslanman.dos\drivers\ethernet\smc\ for
     floppy drive A).  Select "OK" to continue.

  6. Select the "SMC EZ Card PCI 10 Ethernet Adapter" driver.
     Select "OK" to confirm.

  7. Using the space bar, highlight an appropriate protocol.
     Select "OK" to confirm.  If you select the TCP/IP protocol, you
     will be prompted for the IP address, the subnet mask, and the
     default gateway (router).  By default, the workstation number of
     the NetBIOS session is set to 6.

     See the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Manual for more details.

  8. The "Configuration Complete" message should be displayed.

  9. Save the configuration by selecting "Save."

 10. Press F3 to exit.


 All LAN Manager Versions
 ------------------------

 NOTE: If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, you will
       be prompted for the default user name and domain of the
       workstation and other Windows environment and memory management
       information.

 You must edit the "SMC1208_NIF" section of the PROTOCOL.INI file
 if the following case is true.  See the example at the end of this file.

     o If more than one SMC EZ Card 10 PCI network card is installed, 
       you must specify the slot number for each card.  Be sure to use
       the same settings from the hardware configuration of each card.
       You can view these settings using SETUP.

       NOTE: The PCI hardware configuration of an additional card
             can change the configuration of an existing working
             card.  Check its hardware configuration again,
             and, if changed, reinstall the driver.
