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.
