Installing From Diskette

This appendix describes how to create installation diskettes from the EtherCD.
If your PC does not have a CD-ROM drive, access a PC that has a CD-ROM drive and
create installation diskettes from the EtherCD.
You can also download the EtherCD software and place it on diskettes from the 3Com
World Wide Web site:
http://www.3com.com/
NOTE: The installation diskettes allow you to install only the driver. If you want to
install the NIC diagnostics or desktop management software, you must install
them from the EtherCD.
Before you start, make sure that you have two blank, formatted diskettes. Label the
diskettes EtherDisk 1 and EtherDisk 2.
