               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.
