To prevent damaging your system, we urge you to consult your owner's guide before attempting to install any type of hardware into your computer. The instructions provided on these pages are merely intended as a guideline for common installation processes in most computers and should not be construed as de facto for your system. Mycybernet Communications assumes no responsibility for damage as a result of improper techniques in hardware installation, nor do we assume responsibility of supporting these installations.

Before beginning the install of your network card, ensure that the power is disconnected from your computer! Failure to do so could result in serious injury! Also ensure that you are properly grounded before beginning by touching the metal chassis with your bare hand.

• Remove the cover from your PC.

• Remove the network card from its package.

• Find an empty slot in your computer and remove the cover plate from that slot.

• Insert the card into the slot and snap it firmly into place.

• Replace the screw (if any) that held the cover plate in place.

• Replace the cover to your PC, reconnect the power and turn on the machine.

• Upon boot-up of your PC, the Windows "Add new hardware wizard" will appear. The wizard should detect your new hardware and install the correct software drivers. If the wizard is not able to find the correct software drivers for your card, then follow these steps:

• Place the disk that came with your network card into your computer's floppy drive.

• When prompted for location of the drivers, de-select the first three choices and only select "Specify a location".

• Click on "browse" and select your computer's floppy drive by clicking on it.

• Click on the "+" next to your floppy drive to show the folders on the disk and then double-click on the folder representing your Windows operating system. For example: if you have Windows 98, double-click on the Win98 folder.

• Click on "Next". Windows will search the floppy drive and find the software driver for the card. Windows will start copying the updated driver files and the other networking components.

• When Windows finishes installing the updated driver, click on "Finish" reboot when prompted.

If you should encounter any problems while installing your network card, please see the

installation instructions provided to you with your network card.
