5250 ADAPTER CARDS: HARDWARE INSTALLATION MANUAL
When starting Windows 95/98, the operating system checks for any new hardware
devices. The first time Windows 95/98 is started after the 5250 Plug n Play Adapter
Card has been installed, the message New Hardware Found will appear in a dialog
box. Under the New Hardware Found message, the new hardware will be
identified; in this case it will have found the 5250 Plug n Play Adapter Card.
Another dialog box will then open asking the user to install the software for the
adapter. Place the Windows Utility diskette in the floppy drive, select the correct
drive, and press <ENTER>. The .INF and VxD drivers will be copied into the
proper Windows 95/98 directory. The VxD will interface with Windows 95/98 and
automatically pass the card resource information to the Windows emulation
program, Adapter Handler, or IBM Client Access.
To observe the resources assigned by Windows 95/98 for the adapter, click on
Start, then Settings, then Control Panel, and then double-click on System. Click on
the Device Manager Tab, then double-click on 5250 Emulation Adapters. There
will be an entry for the 5250 Plug n Play Adapter Card. Double click on this entry
and then select the Resources tab. The display will now show the adapter’s
resources.
The resources can also be observed by executing the GETW95C.EXE program in
the 5250CARD directory. The resource information passed from Windows 95/98
to the CEM5250.VXD device driver will be displayed.
Since Windows 95/98 handles assigning all the resources, it is recommended that
you do not use EMM386 or similar memory managers in CONFIG.SYS.

4.2.3.1 Installing the 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card
The 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card is easily installed in the PC by simply inserting the
adapter into the PCMCIA slot and connecting the twinax T-cable assembly. There
are no switch or jumper requirements for this card. The 5250 PCMCIA Adapter
Card is a Type 11 card and requires at least one Type 11 or Type 111 slot available
on the PC.
It is important to observe the markings on the 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card when
inserting it into the PCMCIA slot. The 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card should be
inserted with the arrow side up and pointing into the PCMCIA slot. Plug the
adapter into the slot and press it into place. The 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card
should slide easily into the PCMCIA slot. Do not force the card into the slot. If the
5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card does not easily slide into the slot, then check to make
sure it is not inserted upside down and that nothing is in the slot to prevent
insertion. The 5250 PCMCIA Adapter Card can be removed from the PCMCIA slot
by pressing the eject button on the PC.
