MODULE Initial LAN Hardware and OS Software Installation

Module Objectives Initial hardware and software installation overview Hardware Installation –NIC, cables and connectors –Network connection Software (OS) Installation –Preparation and installation

Initial Installation Hardware –Basic physical hardware installation for linking the devices on a network Software –Initial installation of the client operating system without the networking feature

Hardware: NIC Newer network –10/ BaseTX card already built into the computer Older network –SMC Ethernet 16 Ultra –D-Link NE 2000 compatible –Both are 10Base2 ISA cards –Some computers are equipped with SMC and the others with D-Link

SMC NIC Cards Black Ring

D-Link NE 2000 NIC Card White Ring

Built-In NIC Port

Hardware: Cables and Connectors Cable –10Base2 –5, 10, 15 and 25 feet segments Connectors –T-connectors –Terminators

Cables and Connectors

Network Connection SMC NE2000 SMC NE2000 Router Windows 95 Stations Back- bone

The Installed Network Connection

Windows 9X: Preparation for Installation Preparation –Format drive c: as a bootable drive using Windows DOS –Install device driver to recognize CD-ROM drive as drive d: Note –The above steps are not necessary if start-up diskettes are used to launch the OS installation –In this case, the OS can be installed directly from the CD

Windows 9X Installation Method 1 –Install from the CD Method 2 –Copy the Windows 9X CAB files to the c: drive and install from the hard drive Both methods –Windows 9X will guide through the installation –Skip the installation of the network feature in the process

MODULE Obtaining Resource Values

Module Objectives Overview of resource statistics and assignment Obtaining resource statistics Configurable resources for the NIC Obtaining resource statistics in Windows 9X Available resources and resources in use

Resources to be Set IRQ I/O Address Base Memory Address –If present DMA Channel –If present

Resource Statistics and Assignment Resource statistics for each work station –Obtain –Identify available resources Set resources on NIC to match availability –Jumperless cards –Cards with jumpers

Obtaining Resource Statistics Windows95 Approach –Using Control Panel MS-DOS approach –Run MSD (Microsoft Diagnostics) In searching for available resources, one must bear in mind the range of values that could be set on the network card

Configurable Values for a NIC IRQ – I/O Address – Base Memory Address – DMA Channel –

Windows 9X Approach StartSettings Control Panel System Device Manager Properties IRQ DMAI/OMemory Select Computer

Obtaining Resource Statistics: A Demonstration

Available Resources IRQ – I/O Address – Base Memory Address –

Resources in Use Note available for assignment Example –IRQ 7 –I/O 300H –D000- –DMA 5

END OF MODULE

MODULE Setting Resources Values

Module Objectives Overview of resource settings on the NIC NIC configuration –Cards with jumpers and jumper-less cards Software configuration of SMC card Check for conflicts

Setting Of Resources On The NIC Set parameters on the network card choosing from available resource values Cards with jumpers Cards without jumpers

NIC Configuraton for Cards with Jumpers 1. Older type cards J1 J2 J3 IRQ DMA - Adjust jumpers to set the parameters

NIC Configuration for Jumperless Cards Newer type cards Use software provided by the vendor to set the parameter values

SMC Card Supports both options Resources can be configured using the jumpers Resources can be configures using the software as well –Preferred option

Jumpers in the SMC Card Jumpers BNC Connectors

Jumper Configuration Up Down

Jumper Configuration for SMC I/O 300 IRQ 10 Memory CC00 Software Configuration

Software Configurable Resource Values on SMC IRQ –2/9, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11 and 15 I/O Address Base –200, 220, 240 …… up to 380 Base Memory Address –C000, C200, C400 up to EC00 More options are supported under software configuration
