Publication 6181-UM001D-EN-P

The RAC6181 Computer has two USB connectors.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard that supports
data transfer rates of 12Mbps (12 million bits per second). A single USB
port can connect multiple peripheral devices, such as mice, modems, and
keyboards. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation and hot
plugging.

For more information on installing or using USB, refer to the
documentation for your USB peripheral device.

Note:

Many USB devices only work with Windows 98 or
Windows 2000, because these operating systems have
native USB drivers. Make sure the selected USB peripheral
has software drivers available for your target operating
system.


Networking can be installed during the initial Windows NT Workstation
Setup by choosing “This computer will participate on a network”, or
networking can be installed at a later time by running the Network tool
in Control Panel. Use the following guide:

1. When prompted for the network adapter, click the "Select from

list..." button.

2. On the Select Network Adapter dialog, click the "Have disk…"

button.

3. Insert the Ethernet Driver floppy disk (shipped with your RAC6181)

into the floppy drive and click OK.

4. For 6181 Pentium and AMD versions:

On the Select OEM Option dialog, select “Intel® PRO Adapter” and
click OK.

For Pentium III versions:
Select “Intel PRO VE Adapter” and click OK.

5. Click Next to continue. Select the Protocols and Services that are

suitable to your specific networking and application needs.

6. When prompted for the location of Windows NT files, enter the path

c:\sources\i386.

7. Before networking can be used the system must be restarted.

If networking is installed by running the Network tool in Control Panel,
the current Operating System Service Pack should be re-installed.
