SUPPLIED FILES General files o NT_40.DOC This file o RELEASE.DOC Release notes for this version of the driver Files to install the driver on Windows NT o SMC8000N.SY_ The driver o SMC8000N.HL_ The driver's associated help file o OEMSETUP.INF The driver's setup file DRIVER INSTALLATION o Primary installation (network card not presently installed) If you've already installed another card or loaded another driver, refer to the procedure titled 'Network card already installed or older driver previously loaded'. NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation, you may choose to run EZStart and use its 'Automatic' feature to configure the EtherEZ PnP SMC8416 network card. Refer to the README.DOC file on the SuperDisk, or for further detail, refer to the EZSTART.DOC file found within EZStart. EZStart will not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS to setup and test card. 1. Complete the Windows NT installation without an SMC network card installed in your PC. Have the SMC SuperDisk and Windows NT installation files (on CD or hard drive) available. When prompted with a window asking about 'Participating on a network', change the default to 'Do not connect this computer to a network at this time'. Click 'Next' and follow the prompts to reboot. 2. Install the SMC network card. Start Windows NT. 3. Double-click the 'My Computer', 'Control Panel', and 'Network' icons. The 'Network Configuration' window appears, prompting you to install Windows NT networking. Select 'Yes'. Windows NT invokes the 'Network Setup Wizard'. Click on 'Next'. 4. When prompted to 'Search for a Network Adapter', click on 'Select from List'; do not select 'Start Search'. 5. When prompted to 'Select a Network Adapter', click on 'Have Disk'. Insert the SuperDisk when prompted and click 'OK'. 6. You are presented with the 'Select OEM Option' window. Highlight 'SMC8416 EtherEZ' (or appropriate) and click 'OK'. 7. When prompted to start searching for a network adapter, click on 'Next'. 8. Select network protocols when prompted and click 'Next'. NOTE: To complete a TCP/IP installation, you will need to know your IP Address and Subnet Mask. 9. Click 'Next' and click 'Next' again when prompted to 'Install Network Components'. When prompted for Windows NT files, type the path to your Windows NT files on CD-ROM (e.g., D:\WINNT), or change the path to those files on your hard drive, and click 'OK'. 10. You will be prompted with the 'Adapter Card Setup' window. Verify the correct network card has been detected. Click on 'OK' to accept the default settings. In most cases Windows NT will detect the correct card settings and you will not have to change anything. 11. Click on 'Next' and click 'Next' again when prompted to 'Start the Network'. 12. Enter the 'Workgroup' or 'Domain' names (optional) when prompted and click on 'Next'. 13. Select 'Finish' when prompted and click on 'Yes' when prompted to reboot. Remove the SuperDisk. 14. FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION You can modify card settings via the 'Network' applet. Install additional protocols and network components by selecting the appropriate folder (e.g., Customizing Protocols, Services, Identification, or Bindings). o Network card already installed or older driver previously loaded Follow this procedure to replace Windows NT driver files with the latest SMC driver files. By removing driver files, you will lose network settings. Make sure you have a record of settings such as IP address, workgroup name, etc. Check with your network administrator for complete information. NOTE: If you experience any problems during driver installation, you may choose to run EZStart and use its 'Automatic' feature to configure the EtherEZ PnP SMC8416 network card. Refer to the README.DOC file on the SuperDisk, or for further detail, refer to the EZSTART.DOC file found within EZStart. EZStart will not run in a Windows NT DOS window. You must boot from DOS to setup and test the card. 1. Install the SMC network card (if not already installed), attach network cable, and boot Windows NT. 2. Double-click the 'My Computer', 'Control Panel', and 'Network' icons. From the 'Network' window, select the 'Adapter' tab. 3. Highlight the network driver you wish to remove and click 'Remove'.
