DRIVER INSTALLATION
NOTE: For easy installation, the drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
are on the root directory of the SMC Driver Diskette.
(A) PRIMARY INSTALLATION
(NT NETWORKING NOT INSTALLED OR NETWORK CARD NOT PRESENTLY INSTALLED)
If you've already installed Microsoft's NT Networking, another card or
loaded another driver, refer to the procedure titled "NT Networking
already installed, older driver or card previously loaded."
NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation,
you may choose to run SETUP.EXE to test the card. SETUP will
not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS to
test the card.
1. Complete the Windows NT installation without an SMC network card
installed in your PC. Have the SMC Driver Diskette and Windows NT
installation files (on CD or hard drive) available. When prompted
with a window asking about "Participating on a network," change
the default to "Do not connect this computer to a network at
this time." Click "Next" and follow the prompts to reboot.
2. Install the SMC network card and start Windows NT.
3. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons. The "Network Configuration" window appears, prompting you
to install Windows NT networking. Select "Yes." Windows NT
invokes the "Network Setup Wizard." Click on "Next."
4. When prompted to "Search for a Network Adapter," click on "Select
from List." Do not select "Start Search."
5. When prompted to "Select a Network Adapter," click on "Have Disk."
When prompted, insert the SMC Driver Diskette and click "OK."
6. When the "Select OEM Option" window appears, highlight
"SMC EZ CARD PCI 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."
7. When prompted to start searching for a network card, click
on "Next."
8. Select "Network Protocols" when prompted and click "Next."
NOTE: To complete a TCP/IP installation, you will need to know
your IP Address and Subnet Mask.
9. Click "Next" and then click "Next" again when prompted to "Install
Network Components." When prompted for Windows NT files, type
the path to your Windows NT files on CD-ROM (e.g., D:\WINNT), or
change the path to those files on your hard drive and click "OK."
10. Click on "Next" and then click "Next" again when prompted to "Start
the Network."
11. Enter the "Workgroup" or "Domain" names (optional) when prompted
and click on "Next."
12. Select "Finish" when prompted and click on "Yes" when prompted to
reboot. Remove the Driver Diskette.
FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION
You can modify card settings via the "Network" applet. Install
additional protocols and network components by selecting the
appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing Protocols, Services,
Identification, or Bindings).
(B) NT NETWORKING ALREADY INSTALLED
(OLDER DRIVER OR CARD PREVIOUSLY LOADED)
Follow this procedure to replace Windows NT driver files with the
latest SMC driver files. By removing driver files, you will lose
network settings. Make sure you have a record of settings, such as IP
address, workgroup name, etc. Check with your network administrator
for complete information.
NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation,
you may choose to run SETUP.EXE to test the card. SETUP will
not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from
DOS to test the card.
Steps one through four are optional. These steps are used to remove a card
that has already been installed.
1. Install the SMC network card (if not already installed), attach your
network cable, and boot into Windows NT.
2. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons. From the "Network" window, select the "Adapter" tab.
3. Highlight the network driver you wish to remove and click
"Remove." (You may choose to record the network card settings for
future reference. If so, highlight the network card and click on
"Properties.") Click "Yes."
4. Click "Close" and select "Yes" when prompted to restart.
5. Double-click the "My Computer," "Control Panel," and "Network"
icons and select the "Adapter" tab.
6. Do not select any of the network cards listed. Select "Add."
7. You are presented with the "Select Network Adapter" window. Click
on "Have Disk."
8. You are presented with the "Insert Disk" window. Specify the path
to the root directory of the SMC Driver Diskette (e.g., A:>) and
click "OK."
9. You are presented with the "Select OEM Option" window. Highlight
"SMC EZ CARD PCI 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."
10. The "Network" window will appear with the SMC network
card listed as an installed card. At this point, you can
select "Close" to exit the "Network" applet and follow the prompts
to restart Windows NT, or you may choose to perform the optional
procedures described below.
Optional: Install additional protocols and network components by
selecting the appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing
Protocols, Services, Identification, or Bindings). Refer
to the Microsoft Windows NT installation guide for more
information. After completing your changes, click on
"Close" to exit the "Network" applet.
11. Select "Yes" when prompted to reboot, so the changes can take
effect.
