CHAPTER 1

Hardware Installation

Installation Overview

Follow the instructions in this chapter to install the Intel®EtherExpressTM

PRO/100 Mobile CardBus adapter hardware and network cabling. Then

proceed to the software installation chapter for your operating system

environment, as follows:

Chapter 2. Windows 95 and 98 Installation

Chapter 3. Windows NT Installation

Chapter 4. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

For information on Windows 3.x, IBM OS/2, and 32-bit ODI

installation and troubleshooting, and supplementary informa-

tion for other operating systems, see the Windows Help file

HELPDOCS.HLP on the Intel Installation Disk.

The PRO/100 CardBus adapter provides access to both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps

networks with a single adapter cable, and auto-negotiates 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps

network speed.

Category 5 (data grade) unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

cabling is required for 100Mbps or Category 3 or 5 for

10Mbps.

Before Installing Hardware

Check Package Contents:

• PRO/100 CardBus adapter

• LAN adapter cable with 15-pin PC Card connector at one end and a

female RJ-45 connector at the other

• Software on two 3.5-inch diskettes

• User’s Guide

• Product registration card (in User’s Guide)

Please fill out the Product Registration Card and mail or fax it

immediately to the Intel office indicated on the card.

Verify Other Required Equipment

To install the PRO/100 CardBus adapter, you need the following:

1 A portable PC with a CardBus PC Card slot.

2 A local area network supporting 10 or 100Mbps Ethernet, as required,

Chap1.fm Page 5 Thursday, August 27, 1998 1:42 PM

6 PRO/100 Cardbus Adapter User’s Guide

and a network operating system supported by the PRO/100 CardBus

adapter.

Since the PRO/100 CardBus adapter automatically detects

the speed of the network to which it is connected, it may be

safely connected to either a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T net-

work, as specified in items 3 and 4 below.

3 For connection to a 100Base-TX 100Mbps Ethernet network, you

need a Category 5 (data grade) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network

cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector and connected to a

100Mbps hub or switch.

4 For connection to a 10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet network, you need a

category 3 or 5 UTP network cable terminating in a male RJ-45

connector and connected to a 10Mbps hub or switch.

Determine System Requirements

During installation of the PRO/100 CardBus adapter hardware, the computer

should be ON and your standard operating software should be loaded. If config-

ured to do so, your system will detect the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. For details

on how to install driver software, see the chapter for your operating system

environment.

The PRO/100 CardBus adapter hardware is compatible with

Types II and III PC Card slots that support CardBus technol-

ogy. Installation and removal procedures may vary on differ-

ent computers.

Installing the Hardware

Windows 95 and Windows 98 Users: Before proceeding with

the following instructions, make sure your laptop is on and

that Windows is running.

Insert the PRO/100 CardBus Adapter

1 Grasp the CardBus by the edges with the Intel label facing upward and

the wide PC Card connector next to the insert slot.

2 Insert the card into a CardBus slot and push it in until it is firmly seated.

The PRO/100 CardBus adapter can only be used in Card-

Bus-compliant PC Card slots.

Windows 98 Users: The moment you insert the PRO/100

CardBus adapter into a CardBus slot, Windows 98 may auto-

matically display the New Hardware Found window and install

a driver for the adapter. If so, the driver supplied by Windows

98 is outdated and needs to be updated. Update instructions

for Windows 98 are included in Chapter 2.

Inserting the PRO/100 CardBus into the Computer

Connecting the LAN Adapter Cable to the Card

• Attach the 15-pin connector at the end of the Intel adapter cable to the

mating connector on the end of the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. Press the

cable connector gently into the connector on the card until it clicks into

place. Do not force the connection.

Connecting to the network cable to LAN adapter cable

Disconnecting Adapter Cable from the Card

• Squeeze the metal buttons on the sides of the small connector with the

thumb and forefinger to free the adapter cable from the card.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to pull the adapter cable from

the card without squeezing the metal buttons on the sides of

the small connector. Doing so may damage the card and

result in inoperability.

Chapter 2

Windows 95 and 98 Installation

Plug and Play Installation

Most CardBus-enabled computers support plug and play installation of the

PRO/100 CardBus adapter under Windows 95 and Windows 98. However, early

versions of Windows 95 (950 or 950a) require manual installation. Both types

of installation are described in this chapter. Troubleshooting and keyword infor-

mation is also provided.

Drivers Available

The following drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98 are supplied with the

PRO/100 CardBus adapter:

• NDIS3 driver (M32A.SYS)

• NDIS4 driver (M32A4.SYS)

• 32-bit ODI driver (M32A.LAN) with promiscuous support

The NDIS3 driver M32A.SYS is installed by default using the procedures

described in this chapter. For NDIS4 instructions, see the README.TXT file

on the Intel Installation Disk.

32-Bit ODI Driver

If your environment requires use of the 32-bit ODI client driver under Windows

95 (as indicated by your network administrator), see the Windows Help file

HELPDOCS.HLP on the Intel Installation Disk.

Installing under Windows 95

Insert the CardBus Adapter

1 With Windows 95 running, insert the CardBus Ethernet Adapter

into the CardBus PC Card slot and connect cables as shown in

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation. Proceed to step 2.

Plug and Play Installation (Versions 950b OSR2 and later)

2 If Windows 95 displays the New Hardware Found window, follow the

instructions on the screen to complete the installation. No further steps

are necessary. If the New Hardware Found window does NOT appear,

proceed to step 3.

Chap2.fm Page 9 Thursday, August 27, 1998 1:42 PM

10 PRO/100 Cardbus Adapter User’s Guide

If the New Hardware Found window appears, but the Card-

Bus Ethernet Adapter does not initialize or shows conflicts in

Device Manager, see Windows 95 Troubleshooting later in

this chapter.

Manual Installation (Windows 95 versions 950 or 950a)

3 If the New Hardware Found window does NOT appear, proceed to step 4

and complete the remaining steps to configure the adapter (but see the

note below on Toshiba computers).

If you are installing on a Toshiba portable computer and the

New Hardware Found window did not appear, see the Win-

dows Help file HELPDOCS.HLP on the Intel Installation Disk

for instructions.

4 Click Start, select Settings, then click Control Panel.

5 In the Control Panel, double-click Network.

6 In the Network window, Configuration tab, click Add.

7 In the Select Network Component Type window, double-click Adapter.

8 In the Select Network Adapter window, click Have Disk.

9 Insert the Intel Network Drivers Disk.

10 With A:\ in the input box, click OK (or type correct path and click OK).

11 In the Select Network Adapter window, under “Manufacturers”, click

“Intel”.

12 Select “Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Mobile CardBus 32 manual load”

and click OK.

13 In the Network window, click OK. The Intel dialog box displays various

settings. An asterisk in any field indicates that the current setting is

incorrect. Use the Up or Down arrow to adjust the setting until the

asterisk disappears.

14 Click OK. The Copying Files window opens.

15 Insert your original Windows 95 CD or disk (identify the drive that holds

the CD or disk) and click OK. The System Settings window opens.

NOTE: If Windows 95 was pre-installed, the necessary files are located

in the following directory: c:\windows\options\cabs

16 When finished, remove the disk from the A: drive and click Yes when

prompted to restart the computer. NOTE: If you hear a Windows 95

“error” beep on reboot, ignore it.
