DRIVER INSTALLATION

NOTE: The drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 are on the root directory
      of the SMC Driver Diskette. You do not need to select the Software 
      Installation option in the SMCINST program to load these drivers.

NOTE: The card should be set to PNP for the easiest NT installation.
      If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
      address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to
      PNP by default.
             
o PRIMARY INSTALLATION (NETWORK CARD NOT PRESENTLY INSTALLED)

If you've already installed Microsoft's NT Network Function, another card
or loaded another driver, refer to the procedure titled "NT Network Function
already installed, older driver or card previously loaded."

NOTE:  If you experience any problems during driver installation,
       you may choose to run the SMCINST program and select the 
       Hardware Configuration option to test the card. This program
       will not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS
       to set up and test the card.

1.  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."
    Insert the SMC Disk when prompted and click "OK."

6.  When the "Select OEM Option" window appears, highlight "SMC EZ Card
    ISA 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."

7.  When prompted to start searching for a network card, click
    on "Next."

8.  Select the network protocols when prompted, and click on "Next."

NOTE:  To complete a TCP/IP installation, you will need to know
       your IP Address and Subnet Mask.

9.  Click on "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. You will be prompted with the "Adapter Card Setup" window. Verify
    that the correct network card has been detected. Click on "OK"
    to accept the default settings. If the card is set to PNP, Windows NT
    will detect the correct card settings and you will not have to make
    any changes. If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
    address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to PNP by 
    default. Also displayed will be the SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER BUS
    LOCATION window. Keep the defaults by clicking "OK."

11. Click on "Next" and then click "Next" again when prompted to "Start
    the Network."

12. Enter the "Workgroup" or "Domain" names (optional) when prompted
    and click on "Next."

13. Select "Finish" when prompted and click on "Yes" when prompted to
    reboot. Remove the Driver Diskette.

14. FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION

    You can modify card settings via the "Network" applet. To install
    additional protocols and network components, select the
    appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing Protocols, Services,
    Identification, or Bindings).


o NT NETWORK FUNCTION 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 the SMCINST program and select the Hardware 
       Configuration option to test the card. SMCINST will not run in 
       a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS to set up
       and 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
    network cable, and boot 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 network card settings for
    future reference. If so, highlight the network card and click on
    "Properties.") Then, 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.  When the "Select Network Adapter" window appears, click on
    "Have Disk."

8.  When the "Insert Disk" window appears, specify the path
    to the root directory of the SMC Disk (e.g., A:>) and click "OK."

9.  When the "Select OEM Option" window appears, highlight
    "SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER" (or appropriate) and click "OK."

10. You will be prompted with the "Adapter Card Setup" window. Verify
    that the correct network card has been detected. Click on "OK"
    to accept the default settings. If the card is set to PNP, Windows NT
    will detect the correct card settings and you will not have to make
    any changes. If the card is set to Jumperless, you will need to know the I/O
    address and IRQ before installing the drivers. The card is set to PNP by 
    default. Also displayed will be the SMC EZ CARD ISA 10 ADAPTER BUS
    LOCATION window. Keep the defaults by clicking "OK."

11. 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.

12. Select "Yes" when prompted to reboot so the changes can take
    effect.
