This quick guide is for users who choose the Express installation

option within the 3Com Installation Wizard to install and

conﬁgure the 3C509B network interface card (NIC). Express

installation is the choice for typical users who want a fast and

easy installation method with minimal user intervention.

Express installation loads the latest drivers from the

EtherDisk

diskette, automatically tests the NIC and your network, and

dynamically binds TCP/IP to the NIC.

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, or if you have

a static TCP/IP address, you must use the Custom installation

option instead to install and conﬁgure the NIC.

To use Express installation, the NIC must be installed in a PC that

is running Windows 95 and supports the Windows 95 Plug and

Play feature.

If your PC is running Windows 95, go to the next section to

determine if your PC supports Plug and Play.

For all other Windows operating systems, see Chapter 1 in the

EtherLink III ISA Network Interface Card User Guide

for procedures

on how to install the NIC.

Performing the Windows 95 Preinstallation Procedure

Before you install the NIC in your PC, you must perform the

following procedure to properly set up your system environment.

This procedure deletes the default .INF ﬁle and the default

Windows driver for the NIC. If you do not perform this procedure,

the 3Com Installation Wizard will not run successfully and the NIC

software will not be installed.

Follow these steps to perform the preinstallation procedure:

1 Turn the power on and boot Windows 95.

2 Click

Start

in the Windows 95 taskbar, and then click

Run

3 Insert

EtherDisk

diskette 2 in drive A, and then enter:

a:\preinstl

4 Click

The Preinstall Software screen appears, displaying a list of

available IRQs. Write down these IRQs. You may need this

information if you have a problem installing the NIC.

If your PC does not support Plug and Play, a different screen

appears, conﬁrming that a Plug and Play BIOS is not installed in

your PC.

If this other screen appears, you cannot use this quick guide.

Instead, you must install the NIC using the Custom installation

option within the 3Com Installation Wizard. See Chapter 2 in the

EtherLink III ISA Network Interface Card User Guide

for the

Custom installation procedure.

5 Click

The next step is to install the NIC.

Installing the NIC

The following instructions apply to installing the 3C509B NIC in

most PCs. Refer to the manual that accompanied your PC if the

following instructions are not appropriate for your PC.

You must have either one ISA or one EISA slot available in your PC

in which to install the NIC.

CAUTION:

Each NIC is packed in antistatic packaging to protect it

during shipment. Before handling the NIC, touch the bare metal

case of your PC. While you are handling the NIC, wear a wrist

strap attached to the PC chassis.

Remove all jewelry from your hands and wrists and use only

insulated or nonconducting tools.

Follow these steps to install the NIC in your PC:

1 Turn off power to the PC, and remove the power cord from

the PC.

2 Unscrew the cover screws and remove the cover.

On some PCs, it may be necessary to remove all cables before the

cover can be removed.

3 Locate an available ISA or EISA slot and remove the

screw from the corresponding backplate (Figure 1). Save

the screw.

Some PCs have both ISA and PCI slots. Make sure that you install the

EtherLink III ISA NIC in either an ISA or an EISA slot. See Figure 1.

PCI slots, the shortest of the three types of slots, are white. The

longer ISA slots are black. EISA slots, the longest, are brown.

4 Remove and discard the backplate.

5 Ensure that the shape and length of the edge connector

on the NIC match the slot in the PC that you intend to use

(Figure 1).

6 Carefully insert the NIC into the slot; press ﬁrmly with

steady pressure to ensure that the NIC is fully seated in

the slot.

When the NIC is correctly inserted in the slot, the NIC backplate is

ﬂush with the PC backplate.

7 Secure the NIC with the backplate screw.

8 Replace the PC cover. Reinsert and tighten the cover screws.

9 Reconnect all power and peripheral cables.

10 Turn the power on and boot Windows 95.

11 Connect the NIC port to the network cable.

Make sure the network cable is connected to the network.

The next step is to install the network driver.

Installing the Network Driver

This section describes how to set up your system environment

when installing the NIC in a Windows 95 PC that has a Plug and

Play BIOS installed.

Follow these steps to conﬁgure the NIC:

1 Turn the power on and boot Windows 95.

The New Hardware Found screen appears. The Update Device

Driver Wizard then displays the screen shown in Figure 2.
