EtherDisk Diskette for the EtherLink II Adapters
Installing Adapter and Network Drivers
The EtherDisk diskette provides the necessary software, utilities, and
documentation to use 3Com's EtherLink II adapters with various network
operating systems (NOSs). The diskette also includes the diagnostic
program and additional files containing user information. The adapter
guide packaged with the adapter gives important information on adapter
installation and use. It should be used together with the EtherDisk
diskette.
Before you install the network drivers, make sure that you:
- Install your adapter
- Configure the computer (if applicable)
- Run the diagnostic program
- Connect to the network
Refer to the adapter guide or use [F1] for more information.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, the term "EtherLink II adapter" refers
to the EtherLink II (3C503), EtherLink II TP (3C503-TP), EtherLink II/16
(3C503-16), or EtherLink II/16 TP (3C503-16-TP) adapters. All of these
adapters must be selected as an EtherLink II adapter in your setup
program (for example, Novell's WSGEN) during the installation procedure.
Installing/Updating Network Drivers
-----------------------------------
The EtherDisk diskette contains updated versions of the network
drivers for the EtherLink II adapter. The utility program on this
diskette automatically updates the drivers onto your workstation or
server.
- If you are installing your operating system for the first time or
if you need to reinstall your operating system, load the original
drivers that came with the software. Then update the drivers by
choosing the menu items on the EtherDisk diskette.
- If you are only updating the current drivers, insert the EtherDisk
diskette and follow the instructions in the Menu Program.
- If you are installing a new 3Com adapter in the current network,
choose the menu items on the diskette to update the drivers that
are in the operating system.
- If you are installing a new 3Com adapter in a computer that was
configured for another network adapter, first reinstall the original
drivers from the operating system and reconfigure the old drivers to
run with the new adapter. Then update the drivers by choosing the
appropriate menu items on the diskette.
