   • Continue to Installation Section.

1. Start the computer WITHOUT the CBEM56G/RBEM56G adapter inserted. Allow Windows 95 OSR2 to boot fully.
2. Place the Xircom CD into the CD-ROM drive or be sure that you know the full path to the directory where the CBEM56G/RBEM56G driver files are located.
3. Insert the CBEM56G/RBEM56G into the computer's PC Card slot. Windows will automatically detect the presence of the card and indicate that it has found new hardware by displaying a dialog box entitled "Update Device Driver Wizard". Prior to displaying the dialog box, Windows 95 OSR2 may indicate that it is building a driver information database. If this process occurs, allow it to complete.
4. The text in the dialog box should read "This wizard will complete the installation of: PCI Ethernet Controller". Click Next to continue.
5. Windows 95 OSR2 will search the floppy drive for the card's driver. If the CBEM56G/RBEM56G installation files are located in a directory on the hard drive, select the Other Location button and supply the path to this directory. If Windows still recognizes the card as a PCI Ethernet Controller, make sure you are typing in the correct path to the driver files.
6. Once Windows 95 OSR2 indicates that it has found the driver the "Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (Ethernet Interface)", click Finish.
7. Windows 95 OSR2 should read the installation files and complete the installation of the CBEM56G/RBEM56G card. During this process Windows 95 OSR2 may indicate that it is building a driver information database. At any point during the process Windows 95 OSR2 may request additional files. If this occurs enter the path to the Windows 95 OSR2 source files. All files required for this installation reside in either the C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS directory, the Windows 95 OSR2 CD, or on the Xircom CD.
8. You may or may not be prompted to restart the computer. Do so if prompted.
9. Next, Windows should detect a PCI Serial Controller. The text in the dialog box should read "This wizard will complete the installation of: PCI Serial Controller". Click Next to continue.
   This is the modem interface of the card. Follow Step #5 above to supply the path to the drivers to complete the installation. Once Windows 95 OSR2 indicates that it has found the driver the "Xircom CardBus Modem 56 (Modem Interface)", click Finish. Restart the computer if prompted.
10. When the installation process has completed go to the Windows 95 OSR2 Device Manager to verify the installation. This can be reached by doing the following:
    
    - Click Start, select Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    - Double-click the System icon in Control Panel.
    - In System Properties, select the Device Manager tab.
