  WINDOWS NT 3.5x INSTALLATION NOTES:
  FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(TM) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  This document applies to the EtherExpress(TM) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
  FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters.  It contains notes for 
  installing the driver, but does not explain how to configure an 
  EtherExpress adapter.


  DRIVER LOCATION
  ---------------

        \EE16MINI.SYS
        \OEMSETUP.INF
        \DISK1.

  BEFORE YOU START
  ----------------
  You should configure and test the EtherExpress 16 adapter with SOFTSET.EXE 
  before adding the adapter to Network Setup in Windows NT. You must boot the 
  workstation with DOS, and then insert the EtherExpress 16 LAN Adapter 
  Configuration and Driver disk into drive A. At the DOS prompt type:

	A:SOFTSET

  1. Select "Automatic Setup" to let SOFTSET configure the EtherExpress 16
     adapter to work in your computer, or select "Manual Setup" if you want 
     to designate which interrupt and I/O address you want the EtherExpress
     16 to use.
  
  2. Select "Run Diagnostics" from the main menu to test the configuration you 
     have selected. If the EtherExpress 16 fails diagnostics it may not 
     function correctly under Windows for Workgroups.

     NOTE: SoftSet is a DOS program and will not run in Windows NT.
     You must run SoftSet from DOS. You can boot to DOS by inserting a DOS 
     boot disk into your floppy disk drive A when rebooting, then run
     SoftSet.


  GENERAL INSTALLATION
  --------------------

  1. The EtherExpress 16 adapter should be configured and tested prior to 
     setting it up in Windows NT. You can either configure the adapter by 
     using FlashSet if you have a Flash adapter, or by using SoftSet. 
     SoftSet cannot be run under NT, you must boot to DOS.

  2. In NT, open Control Panel and click the Network icon.    

  3. From the Network Settings window, click "Add Adapter".

  4. A list of available adapters will be displayed. Choose 
     "  Requires disk from manufacturer". and click "Continue".

     NOTE: An EtherExpress 16 driver is included with Windows NT 3.50. 
           Intel recommends using the newer driver supplied on the
           EtherExpress 16 driver disk.

  5. Insert the disk with the EtherExpress 16 LAN Adapter Disk into
     drive A:

  6. From the Insert Disk window, change the path to "A:\" and click 
     "OK".

  7. From the Select OEM Option window, select "Intel EtherExpress 16 
     Family LAN Adapter" and click "OK".

  8. A dialog box will come up with four settings: 

				Interrupt Number:
				I/O Port Address:
				I/O Channel Ready:
				Transceiver Type: 

   Make sure the values that come up match the actual board settings as 
   configured with FlashSet or SoftSet. Click "OK" to accept the adapter  
   settings. 

   NOTE: DO NOT change the I/O Channel Ready. The proper setting is 
	 determined by Windows NT.  Changing this parameter could cause the 
	 adapter to become inoperable.

  9. From the Network Settings window, click "OK".

     NT will then perform the binding process. If any additional network 
     software options were installed, you may be prompted for specific 
     information for these packages.

  10. Restart NT when prompted, in order for the changes to take affect.

  

  Troubleshooting Tips:
  ======================

  AT LEAST ONE DEVICE OR DRIVER FAILED DURING SYSTEM STARTUP
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  If Windows NT fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress 16, you will
  get this error message in the Event Viewer:

  "The Intel EtherExpress 16 Family LAN Adapter Driver service failed to 
   start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is 
   not functioning. "
  
  Try these steps:
 
  1. Verify that the I/O address and interrupt that you specified for the
     EtherExpress 16 is correct by running SOFTSET.EXE and selecting
     "View Configuration" from the menu. If the I/O address or interrupt
     is different than the value you specified when installing Windows NT,
     select "MANUAL SETUP" from the SoftSet main menu and change the I/O
     address and interrupt to match the settings in Windows NT

  2. Verify that the I/O address and/or interrupt being used by the
     EtherExpress 16 are not being used by any other device in your 
     workstation like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape backup,
     serial ports, parallel ports, etc.

     Look at the documentation or setup programs for the other installed 
     adapters in your computer to verify what I/O address and interrupts 
     they are using. Some sound cards use multiple interrupts and I/O 
     addresses. For example, a typical sound card will use an I/O address 
     of 220 and IRQ 5 for the sound port and an I/O address of 330 and 
     IRQ 11 for the MIDI/Joystick port.

  3. Verify that the EtherExpress 16 passes all diagnostic tests by running
     SOFTSET.EXE from DOS and selecting "RUN DIAGNOSTICS". If the 
     EtherExpress 16 fails diagnostics it will not function correctly under 
     Windows NT.

     If On-Board diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress 16 to use 
     a different I/O address, a different interrupt, or change Force 8 bit 
     to "YES".

     If On-Network diagnostics fail, there is likely a cable, connector, 
     or hub problem. Verify that the cabling you are using is connected 
     properly and that the cable is not defective. For more information
     on cable specifications, view the 10BaseT or COAX ethernet cabling 
     readme files on the EtherExpress 16 LAN adapter and Options disk.

     Note: "Responder not found" is NOT an error.  This message will be 
     displayed IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING THE SOFTSET RESPONDER ON ANOTHER 
     MACHINE with an EtherExpress card or if the card cannot actually 
     communicate with the responder card. If you do not have a responder 
     running or if the two cards cannot communicate, the diags will try 
     to send packets back to itself.

  ADAPTER PASSES DIAGNOSTICS BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS NT
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
  If the adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows NT, 
  there could be a problem with your NT network configuration. If you've 
  made several attempts to configure Windows NT or had another adapter 
  installed before the EtherExpress 16 LAN adapter, it may be necessary to 
  change the Windows NT Network setup to the default settings and reinstall 
  the EtherExpress 16 LAN driver. Here's how:

  1. Choose the Network icon in Control Panel.

  2. Highlight the Intel EtherExpress Adapter and click "Remove".

  3. From the Network Settings window, click "OK".

  4. Windows NT will have to reset for the changes to take effect. When 
     prompted, select "Restart Now".

  5. Reinstall the EtherExpress 16 LAN adapter following the installation 
     steps above.
