You use the 3Com Install program to configure the
system’s built-in Ethernet NIC. If your system has Dell-
installed MS-DOS, the 3Com files are located in the
c:\dell\3com directory. A diskette image of the 3Com
files can be used to make a backup diskette.
If your system does not have Dell-installed MS-DOS,
you should have received a 3Com diskette with your sys-
tem. To run the program from a diskette, substitute
a:\
for
c:\dell\3com
in the instructions that follow.
To run the Install program, follow these steps:
1. Boot the system to MS-DOS.
For instructions, see your MS-DOS documentation.
2. Change to the c:\dell\3com directory.
For example, type
cd c:\dell\3com
