INSTALLING A 3COM NIC
WHILE INSTALLING THE NOS
Follow these instructions to install 3Com software while
you are installing the network operating system. (This
procedure is often called “performing a fresh installation.”)
Windows Fresh Installation
For installation requirements, see Installation Requirements
on page 28.
To display the Help system during the driver installation,
click Help on any 3Com window.
Windows NT
For instructions, see the WINNT.TXT file in the HELP
directory on the EtherCD.
Windows 2000
During the Windows 2000 installation, the Hardware
Wizard detects installed NICs and installs drivers it finds for
them from the Windows 2000 CD. If you want to install
the latest software from the 3Com EtherLink Server CD
after you finish installing Windows 2000, restart the server
and follow the instructions for Windows in Updating the
Network Driver and NIC Software on page 51.
