OVERVIEW
This file explains how to install the Windows 95 driver for x86-based
platforms.
PREINSTALLATION HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Hardware Requirements:
- An IBM-compatible personal computer with 80386 or higher
microprocessor and PCI bus.
- An EtherPower, EtherPower^2, or EtherPower 10/100 PCI
network card for that bus.
Software Requirements:
- Windows 95.
SUPPLIED FILES
General files
o WIN_95.DOC This file
o RELEASE.DOC Release notes for this version of the driver
Files to install the driver on Windows 95
o SMCPWRN.SYS The NDIS3 32-bit driver
o SMCPWR.DOS The NDIS2 16-bit driver
o SMCPWR.COM The ODI 16-bit driver
o NETPCI.INF The driver's setup file
One other file, LSL.COM, is required for successful ODI driver
installation operation. It can be obtained from Novell's BBS.
NETWORK CARD INSTALLATION NOTES
o 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 BIOS setup menu and:
a. Enable bus master on the PCI slot.
b. Enable I/O on the PCI slot.
c. Define interrupt number on the PCI slot.
o Motherboards with automatic PCI parameterization:
1. No specific setup is needed.
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.
The SMC9332DST EtherPower 10/100 network card is default configured
to operate at 100 Mbps. This card supports automatic data rate speed
detection at power-up only.
SMC9332BDT EtherPower 10/100 network cards ONLY:
The Auto-Negotiation feature of the SMC9332BDT 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.
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
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
Do not perform a manual driver installation using the 'Have Disk' method.
The manual installation procedure bypasses the autodetection capabilities
of Windows 95. Instead, follow the procedure described below.
NOTE: To ensure the correct loading of the driver within Windows 95, you
must substitute the SMC NETPCI.INF file on the SMC SuperDisk for the
NETPCI.INF file included with Windows 95. You must also remove any
drivers previously loaded for SMC network cards. The procedure
described below performs these tasks automatically using the
W95INST installation utility (refer to step 3).
WARNING!
By removing the driver for a network card, you may lose protocol and client
network settings. Make sure you have a record of settings such as IP address
and workgroup name. Check with your network administrator for complete
information.
1. Complete the Windows 95 installation without an SMC network card
installed in your PC.
2. Start Windows 95. Insert the SMC SuperDisk into a floppy drive.
3. Select 'Start' and then 'Run'. Type A:\W95INST[Enter]. (Executing
the W95INST batch file will update the NETPCI.INF driver installation
file on your hard drive and remove any previously loaded drivers
for SMC network cards.)
4. Remove the SMC SuperDisk, shut down your PC, install the SMC network card,
and attach cable.
5. Restart Windows 95. Make sure you have your Windows 95 CD available
(or you are aware of the path to those files on your hard drive).
6. Windows 95 detects the addition of new hardware and begins installing
files from the Windows 95 CD (or the Windows 95 path you have
designated). The message 'Please insert the disk labeled SMC
SuperDisk' appears. Insert the SMC SuperDisk and click 'OK'.
7. The message 'The file NETPCI.INF on SMC SuperDisk could not be found'
appears. Specify the path to the A:\ root directory, and click 'OK'.
8. You may be prompted for Windows 95 installation files. If so, click
'OK' and then type the path to your Windows 95 CD, or change the path
to those files on your hard drive, and click 'OK'.
9. Follow the remaining Windows 95 instructions to complete the
installation. After all the files have been copied, you are prompted
to reboot for the changes to take effect. Select 'Yes' when prompted
to restart your computer and remove the SMC SuperDisk.
Optional procedures to modify card settings and add network protocols:
o Double-click on the 'My Computer', 'Control Panel', and 'Network'
icons. The 'Network' box appears. If the correct network protocols
are not installed, in the 'Primary Network Logon' list box, select
the primary network to which you will be attaching. Click 'Add'.
The 'Select Network Component Type' box appears. Follow the
0n-screen directions to select network protocols.
o For peer-to-peer networks, you may wish to enable 'File and Print
Sharing' in the 'Network' box.
o To modify other network card properties, select the appropriate tab
or click on the 'Properties' button from the 'Network' box and
modify properties as desired.
MANUAL DRIVER REMOVAL
You can run the W95INST batch file to remove any previously loaded drivers
for SMC network cards. Running this batch file will also replace the
Windows 95 NETPCI.INF driver installation file on your hard drive with the
SMC NETPCI.INF file on the SMC SuperDisk.
If you do not choose to use the W95INST batch file provided on the SMC
SuperDisk (v2.3 or later), you can use the procedure described below to
remove previously loaded drivers.
WARNING!
By removing the driver for a network card, you may lose protocol and client
network settings. Make sure you have a record of settings such as IP address
and workgroup name. Check with your network administrator for complete
information.
1. Start Windows 95.
2. Click 'Start'. Move the mouse pointer to 'Settings>Control Panel' and
then click the mouse.
3. Double click the 'Network' icon.
4. Highlight the network driver to remove (PCI Ethernet, Fast Ethernet
DECchip Based Adapter, or SMC 9332 EtherPower 10/100 PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter) and click 'Remove'.
5. Exit the 'Network' applet by clicking the 'OK' button and restart
Windows 95 when prompted.
6. Follow the procedure described in 'Driver installation' to load a
driver from the SMC SuperDisk.
MODIFYING THE DATA RATE (OPTIONAL)
1. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the "Network" icon.
2. Highlight the SMC driver in the "Network Components" list (click once).
3. Click on the "Properties" button.
4. Click on the "Advanced" tab and then highlight the "Data Rate" option.
5. Scroll to the "Value" you wish to use. (Not all values listed are
supported by all SMC PCI network cards.)

* AutoSense is the recommended setting for all SMC PCI network cards.
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 data rate (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.
