Configuring The Adapter - IBM ISA Installation And Testing Instructions

Configuring the Adapter
Note: The configuration of your adapter must be set on a
computer that has a diskette drive, so you can run the
configuration program found on the option diskette. Hence, if you
want to have the IBM ISA Ethernet Adapters operate in a computer
without a diskette drive, you will have to temporarily install and
configure it in a computer that has a diskette drive, ensuring that
you set the configuration parameters to be compatible with the
computer in which the adapter will be installed.
Note: If you are planning to use RiPL and are installing more than
one adapter, see "POST and RiPL" on page 46 before configuring
the adapters.
