1. Start the computer WITHOUT the CBEM56G/RBEM56G adapter inserted. Allow Windows 98 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 on the hard drive.
3. Insert the CBEM56G/RBEM56G into the computer's PC Card slot. Windows 98 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 98 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 searches for new drivers for: PCI Ethernet Controller".
5. Accept the default selection "Search for best driver for your device" and click Next.
6. On the next window, the default search location is "Floppy disk drive". Check the box for CD-ROM drive or Specify a location (Type in the path or browse the drivers) and click Next.
7. Windows 98 will search the CD or the location specified for the card's driver. If Windows still recognizes the card as a PCI Ethernet Controller, make sure you are typing in the correct path to the driver files. The Hardware wizard should find "Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 (Ethernet Interface)" and list the file found as NETCBE.INF. Click Next to accept this.
8. Windows 98 should read the driver files to complete the installation of the CBEM56G/RBEM56G adapter. During this process Windows 98 may indicate that it is building a driver information database. When Windows states it has finished installing the software for the new hardware, click Finish. At any point during the process, Windows 98 may request additional files. If this occurs enter the path to the Windows 98 source files. All files required for this installation reside in either the C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS directory, the Windows 98 CD, or on the Xircom CBEM56G/RBEM56G CD.
9. You may or may not be prompted to restart the computer. Do so if prompted.
10. Next, Windows should detect a PCI Serial Controller. The text in the dialog box should read "This wizard searches for new drivers for: PCI Serial Controller". Click Next to continue. This is the modem interface of the card. Follow Step 5 & 6 above to supply the path to the drivers to complete the installation. Once Windows 98 indicates that it has found the "Xircom CardBus Modem 56 (Modem Interface)" driver, click Next and then Finish. Restart the computer if prompted.
11. When the installation process has completed, go to the Windows 98 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.
