NETWORK CARD INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer to the user guide for complete network card installation instructions.
When installing an SMC PCI network card in a PCI machine, 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.
o Motherboards with automatic PCI parameterization:
1. No specific setup is needed.
Important Parameters in Advanced Setup:
Configuration information is manually modified using the Advanced Setup
Option located in Network->Network Setup->Setup->Advanced. The
DATA RATE is used to specify the speed the network card will
operate at (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 network card ONLY:
During the network card 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 line speed (10 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps) configured for the
network card matches the speed of the hub to which it is attached.
SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT EtherPower 10/100 network cards ONLY:
The Auto-Negotiation feature of the SMC9332BDT/SMC9334BDT 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/SMC9334BDT 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.
DRIVER INSTALLATION
o Installing Windows for Workgroups and the SMC Driver
The following procedure describes how to install Windows for
Workgroups v3.11 along with the driver files. This procedure
is designed to expedite the driver installation. For information
on customizing your installation and Windows desktop, refer to
your Windows for Workgroups manual.
If you already have Windows for Workgroups installed and only want
to install the SMC driver, proceed to 'Installing the SMC Driver Only'.
Note: To install an ODI driver, you will need the NETWARE.DRV file.
You can download the current version of this file from Novell's
NetWire Forum on CompuServe.
1. Insert the Windows for Workgroups Disk 1 Setup diskette in your
computer's disk drive.
2. Change to the drive where you inserted the disk in step 1.
Then, at the DOS prompt, type: SETUP
3. Press the Enter key to start the setup procedure. Typically,
this procedure takes from 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Follow the screen prompts until the Network Setup window
appears.
a. Select "Advanced"
b. Select "Networks" and "Install Microsoft Windows Network".
c. Select "No additional network" or "Other", as necessary.
Click on "OK". Refer to your Windows for Workgroups manual
for information.
d. Select "Sharing" and specify whether you want other users to
be able to share your files and printer(s). Then select
"OK".
e. Select "Drivers".
f. Select "Add Adapter". The Add Network Adapter dialog box
appears.
g. Select "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter" followed by
"OK".
5. When the Install Driver window appears, insert the SuperDisk
into your computer's disk drive.
6. In the Install Driver window, specify the path to the driver
on the SuperDisk (e.g., A:\WFW).
7. Select "OK". The Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter window
appears.
8. Select the appropriate SMC network card (8432 - EtherPower
with Rom Socket, 8432 without Rom Socket, 8434 EtherPower2,
SMC 9332BVT EtherPower 10/100T4, 9332BDT/9334BDT-EtherPower
10/100, SMCDST EtherPower 10/100) you are installing followed
by "OK".
9. When the Network Drivers window appears, you can use
"Add Adapter" and/or "Add Protocol" to add more
network cards (up to four) and protocols. Refer to your
Windows for Workgroups manual for more information.
o To change the Advanced Network-Adapter Settings and/or
select a driver type, select "Setup" and make the approp-
riate selections. (The default selection is 'Real Mode and
Enhanced Mode').
o To change the Burst Length, Data Rate, Pci Mechanism, Receive
Buffers, Store and Forward, Transmit Threshold, or Transmit
Threshold 100mbps, click 'Advanced' and make appropriate
selections.
o Select "Close" followed by "OK".
o When prompted with the Microsoft Windows Networks Names box,
select "OK".
o Follow the screen prompts to complete the driver
installation.
Note: The "Install Driver" window will appear. You will be prompted
to insert the SMC SuperDisk or a disk with the updated or vendor-
provided SMCPWR.DOS file. The driver source path is A:\WFW. You
will be prompted to do the same thing to update the SMCPWR.386 file.
The driver source path is A:\WIN95NT.
11. At the end of the installation, you will be prompted whether
you want to accept all the options you selected and restart
your computer or return to DOS. Restart your computer so
your options can take effect.
Some specifics of the installation process may vary according to
each user's needs. Refer to the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
user manual for more information.
o Installing the SMC Driver Only
The following procedure describes how to install the SMC driver
and assumes that Windows for Workgroups v3.11 is already installed.
1. Double-click on the Network Setup icon in the Network window.
2. When the Network Setup dialog box appears, refer to "Installing
Windows for Workgroups and the SMC Driver", step 4b.
MODIFYING THE DATA RATE
SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 ONLY:
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.
Set the network card to operate at the correct data rate (10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps) using the Data Rate parameter in Network Setup,
Setup, Advanced Options for the SMC Driver.
If the DATA RATE is set at AUTOSENSE, the driver will detect and
set the correct data rate during power-up.
SMC9332BDT/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 [MB10] or 100 Mbps [MB100]) 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 methods used to manually specify operating speed will vary
depending on your networking software and the driver being used.
All SMC drivers for the SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 network card
support five different data rate settings.
AUTOSENSE - when using this default setting, the driver
will automatically detect the line speed of the attached hub
and set the network card to operate at the highest possible data rate.
10 Mbps
Full duplex - network card operates at 10 Mbps only
10 Mbps
Half duplex - network card operates at 10 Mbps only
100 Mbps
full duplex - network card operates at 100 Mbps only
100 Mbps
half duplex - network card operates at 100 Mbps only
After completing the installation and configuration, you must
reboot your computer.
