INSTALLATION
2.2.1 Unpacking the Adapter
The network adapter and its software are shipped separately. The
complete installation package should contain one conductive
pouch with the adapter and this manual. The software is shipped
in a shrink-wrapped package containing the software, a license
agreement, and a Network Software Installation Guide.
Carefully remove the conductive pouch from the box. Leave the
adapter in the conductive pouch until you are ready to install it.
Open the shrink-wrapped software package when you are ready to
install the software. Be sure to read the license agreement.
The adapter is sensitive to static discharges. Hold it by the
!
corners. Avoid contact with the PC bus edge connector or
any of the components, except the jumpers. Failure to
CAUTION:
observe all static precautions can result in damage to the
adapter.
2.2.2 Copying the Software
Before you begin the installation, it is important that you make a
backup copy of the Cabletron software supplied with the adapter.
Use the disk copy routine for your PC to make a duplicate copy of
the Cabletron software diskettes. Store the original software in a
safe place, and use the copies for the actual installation procedure.
2.3
PREPARING THE T2015 ADAPTER
Before you install the T2015 Token-Ring adapter in your computer,
you will have to set the adapter's I/O base address, and possibly
the adapter's Clock Source.
The I/O base address is set through a pair of dip switches. If your
T2015 adapter is being installed in a computer that requires a
synchronous clock source for its adapter boards, you will also need
to change the clock source jumper.
