Publication 1784-IN029C-EN-P - June 2001
The instructions in this Chapter assume that you:
•
have already determined which operating system you are using, and which
driver you need to install
•
are using Windows 98 or Me
•
are using RSNetWorx or RSLinx software. RSLinx software must be at version
2.00.97.30 or later.
Guidelines for Using the Driver
Follow these guidelines for using the driver:
•
Do not use the Update Driver option in the Windows 95/98/Me Device
Manager:
Instead, remove any existing drivers, then load the new drivers as described
in this Chapter. For information on how to remove the drivers, refer to
page 4-10.
•
When changing the series of the PCD card in Windows 98/Me:
If you replace the series A or B PCD card with a series C PCD card or vice
versa, the first time the PC recognizes the new PCD card, Windows reports
that it has found new hardware and may prompt you to insert the
appropriate setup disk. If prompted, insert the setup disk with the driver for
your application. You will need to reboot your PC after you install the card.
IMPORTANT
Always remove PCD drivers you may have installed
previously before you install new ones. Refer to Remove the
Driver on page 4-10.
TIP
The series A, B, and C PCD cards use the same setup
disks.
