PCI/PXI Gigabit Ethernet Adapters Installation Guide 12 ni.com
Note When installing adapters on a Windows NT system that does not have any other
adapters installed, you must install Networking support.
Tip If Windows displays an Insert Disk dialog box or indicates it cannot locate a file on
the Intel PRO Adapter CD-ROM, insert the PCI/PXI Gigabit Ethernet Adapters CD-ROM
and tell Windows to copy files from the
WinNT directory of the CD-ROM drive (typically
d:\WinNT\ ).
4. Restart the computer, as shown in the following figure, then connect to
your network.
Alternative Driver Installation Options
The installation instructions illustrated for each operating system in this
document are appropriate for most users. However, if your PXI chassis
does not contain a CD-ROM drive, try one of the following alternatives to
load the Ethernet driver.
• If you have an existing Ethernet connection in your PXI chassis,
download the Intel Ethernet driver from the National Instruments Web
site. Access the Drivers and Downloads page at
ni.com/download .
• Connect an external CD-ROM, such as a USB CD-ROM, and load the
Ethernet driver directly from the PCI/PXI Gigabit Ethernet Drivers
CD-ROM.
• Use another computer that has a CD-ROM to copy the Ethernet driver
onto a 3.5 in. floppy disk:
1. Open a DOS command window.
2. Change to the directory on the CD-ROM that matches the OS you
want to use with the diskette.
3. Change to the \MAKEDISK directory.
4. Depending on your OS, enter: MAKE2KXP , MAKENT , or MAKE98ME
