NETWORK CARD INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer to the user guide for complete installation instructions.
When installing an SMC PCI network card in a PCI computer, make sure
the slot you select supports bus master operations.
o Motherboards with bus master jumpers and interrupt jumpers for
PCI slots:
1. Enable bus master operations to the selected PCI slot using the
appropriate motherboard jumper.
2. Select interrupt to the selected PCI slot using the appropriate
motherboard jumper.
3. Enter your computer's setup menu and:
- Enable bus master on the PCI slot.
- Enable I/O on the PCI slot.
- Define interrupt number on the PCI slot.
- Modify CMOS settings to make an IRQ available to the PCI bus.
o Motherboards with automatic PCI parameterization:
1. No specific setup is needed.
SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 network card ONLY:
During the network adapter selection process, the SMC9334BDT
EtherPower 10/100 dual channel network card may be represented as two
SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 adapters (one for each channel). If no
option for 'SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 Dual Channel' is presented,
select the option for 'SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100' for both channels
SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 network card ONLY:
Ensure that the data rate (10 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps) configured for the
network card matches the speed of the hub to which it is attached.
The SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 network card is default configured
to autodetect the data rate. Refer to the MODIFYING THE DATA RATE
section later in this document.
SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT/SMC9332BVT EtherPower 10/100 network cards ONLY:
The Auto-Negotiation feature of the SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT/SMC9332BVT
EtherPower 10/100 network card will set the operating speed of the
network card (10 Mbps [MB10] or 100 Mbps [MB100]). If the attached hub
is full duplex capable and uses Auto-Negotiation, the SMC9332BDT
EtherPower 10/100 network card will configure itself for full duplex
operation. If the attached hub is full duplex capable, but does not
use Auto-Negotiation, you must manually specify full duplex mode.
Refer to the MODIFYING THE DATA RATE section later in this document.
DUAL CHANNEL SUPPORT
EtherPower^2 and SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100
The EtherPower^2 Dual Channel PCI Ethernet and the SMC9334
EtherPower 10/100 Fast Ethernet network cards conform to the
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, Revision 1.0, April 5,
1994. Networking environments that support dual channel operation
include Novell server (32-bit ODI driver), Windows NT, and SCO
UNIX. Other networking environments may not support the unique
dual channel capability of the EtherPower^2 or the SMC9334
EtherPower 10/100 network card.
DRIVER INSTALLATION
o Primary installation (network card not presently installed)
If you've already installed another card or loaded another driver, refer
to the procedure titled 'Network card already installed or older driver
previously loaded'.
1. Complete the Windows NT installation without the SMC network card
installed in your PC. Have the SMC SuperDisk and Windows NT
installation files (on CD or hard drive) available.
2. Start Windows NT and double-click the 'Control Panel' and 'Network'
icons.
3. You will be prompted to install networking functionality. Click 'Yes'.
4. Follow the screen prompts. When prompted, insert the Windows NT CD or
specify the path to those installation files on your hard drive.
5. When prompted with the 'Network Adapter Card Detection' dialog box,
select 'Do Not Detect'.
6. When prompted with the 'Add Network Adapter' window, scroll to and
select '<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer'.
7. Select 'Continue'.
8. When prompted, insert the SuperDisk, specify the path to the root
directory (e.g., A:\), and click 'OK'.
9. Select 'SMC EtherPower Family Network Card' and click 'OK'.
10. When prompted, specify the network card data rate. 'AutoSense' is
the recommended setting for all EtherPower family network cards.
Click 'Continue'.
11. At this point, you can install additional protocols and network
components via the 'Windows NT Setup' window. Click 'Coninue'
when finished.
12. Verify the network card type and settings. When presented with the
'Network Settings' window, click on 'OK'.
NOTE: If you select the IPX/SPX protocol, the 'NWLINK IPX/SPX
Protocol Configuration' window appears, permitting customization
of the protocol. Click 'OK'.
13. Follow the screen prompts as directed. Enter the 'Domain' or
'Workgroup' names when prompted (optional) and click 'OK'.
14. When prompted. select 'Restart Now'.
NOTE: In the unlikely event you encounter any device driver errors after
Windows NT boots, check the Event Log (under 'Administrative Tools'
icon) to see whether the error is related to your SMC network card.
o Network card already installed or older driver 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.
1. Install the SMC network card, attach network cable, and boot Windows NT.
2. Double-click the 'Control Panel' and 'Network' icons.
3. When prompted with the 'Network Settings' window, highlight the network
card you wish to remove, click on 'Remove', and click on 'OK'.
4. Select 'Restart Now' when prompted.
5. Start Windows NT and double-click the 'Control Panel' and 'Network'
icons. The 'Network Settings' window appears. Select 'Add Adapter'.
6. When prompted with the 'Add Network Adapter' window, scroll to and
select '<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer'.
7. Select 'Continue'.
8. When prompted, insert the SuperDisk, specify the path to the root
directory (e.g., A:\), and click 'OK'.
9. Select 'SMC EtherPower Family Network Card' and click 'OK'.
10. When prompted, specify the network card data rate. 'AutoSense' is
the recommended setting for all EtherPower family network cards.
Click 'Continue'.
11. At this point, you can install additional protocols and network
components via the 'Windows NT Setup' window. Click 'Coninue'
when finished.
12. When prompted, select 'Restart Now'.
NOTE: In the unlikely event you encounter any device driver errors after
Windows NT boots, check the Event Log (under 'Administrative Tools'
icon) to see whether the error is related to your SMC network card.
MODIFYING THE DATA RATE
1. Double-click on the 'Control Panel' icon.
2. Double-click on the 'Network' icon.
3. Highlight the SMC Adapter in the 'Installed Adapter Cards' list.
4. Click on the 'Configure' button.
5. Scroll to the data rate setting you wish to use and click on 'OK'.
'AutoSense' is the recommended setting for all EtherPower Family
network cards.
6. Click the 'Close' button and restart your computer.
SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 ONLY:
The default parameter for DATA RATE is autodetect. This default
setting will automatically detect the line speed at power up only.
If autodetect failed to work, ensure that the data rate (10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps) configured for the network card matches the speed of
the hub to which it is attached.
SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT/SMC9332BVT EtherPower 10/100 ONLY:
This network card supports NWAY (Auto-Negotiation). Setting the
DATA RATE to AUTOSENSE will allow the driver to automatically
detect the line speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and operate at the
highest possible data rate.
The recommended setting for the DATA RATE is AUTOSENSE. If you
manually set the DATA RATE to anything other than AUTOSENSE,
(for example, either half-duplex or full-duplex operation), the
settings you select must be supported by the hub to which you
are attaching.
After completing the installation and configuration, you must reboot your
computer.
