2. Consult your computer’s instruction manual for

information on adding peripherals.

3. Check I/O resources used by other peripherals.

TIP:

If there is not another network card in the computer, the

default I/O settings are likely to work. Table 9 on page 32

lists some common conventions for ISA bus I/O.

4. Install the network software and driver. See “Network

Software and Driver Installation” on page 4.

5. Insert the card in the computer. See “Installing the Card in

an ISA or EISA Slot” on page 5.

6. Run the CardAssistant configuration program to check I/O

resource settings (base address, DMA channel, IRQ, boot

PROM address) and change as needed.

NOTE

Launching the CardAssistant program requires that the card

is present. If you have a driver running, you will not be allowed

to open the Diagnostics window.

Running CardAssistant in DOS Mode.

The DOS version of

CardAssistant is the one to use if your primary operating system

is Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups 3.x, Windows NT 3.1,

or DOS.

1. Boot into DOS (not a Windows DOS Prompt window).

Prevent the driver from loading by pressing to

bypass all batch and configuration files or to step

through batch and configuration files and bypass lines that

load driver software.

2. If you are running CardAssistant from the installation

software diskette, follow steps 3 and 4. If CardAssistant is

installed on your hard disk, skip to step 5.
