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.
DUAL CHANNEL SUPPORT
SMC8434 EtherPower^2 and SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100
The SMC8434 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.
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.
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 an SMC network card
installed in your PC.
2. Start Windows NT.
3. Double-click the 'My Computer', 'Control Panel', and 'Network' icons.
The 'Network Configuration' window appears, prompting you to install
Windows. 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'.
5. When prompted to 'Select a Network Adapter', click on 'Have Disk'.
Insert the SuperDisk when prompted and click 'OK'.
6. You are presented with the 'Select OEM Option' window. Highlight
'SMC EtherPower Family Network Card' and click 'OK'.
7. When prompted to 'Search for an Adapter', 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 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 are presented with the 'Network Card Setup' window where you can
specify the network card data rate. 'AutoSense' is the recommended
setting for all EtherPower family network cards. Select 'Continue'
after verifying network card settings.
11. Click on 'Next' and 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 SuperDisk.
14. 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).
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 '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'.)
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 'Adapters' 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 SuperDisk (e.g., A:>) and click 'OK'.
9. You are presented with the 'Select OEM Option' window. Highlight
'SMC EtherPower Family Network Card' and click 'OK'.
10. You are presented with the 'Network Card Setup' window where you can
specify the network card data rate. 'AutoSense' is the recommended
setting for all EtherPower family network cards. Select 'OK' after
verifying network card settings.
11. You are presented with the 'Network' window where the SMC network card
is now listed as an installed adapter. 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 for the changes to take effect.
MODIFYING THE DATA RATE
o 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 fails 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.
o SMC9332BDT/SMC9332BVT/SMC9334BDT 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 you are attaching
to.
The data rate options available will vary depending on the network
card you are using.
