Windows ME and Windows 98 SE Installation CD Requirement
Before beginning the installation of the 802.11a PCI Card, confirm that you have a
Windows 98 SE or Windows ME installation CD available (depending on the
computer’s operating system). Windows 98/ME users may be prompted to insert a
Windows CD during the installation.
You should not need a Windows CD when installing an 802.11a PCI Card in a Windows
2000 computer.
If you do not have a Windows 98/ME CD, it is possible that you already have the
Windows installation files on your hard disk. These Windows installation files are
known as Windows Cabinet or CAB files. The Cabinet files are commonly located in
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL\ or C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\ .
Note: Windows 98/ME users may need the Windows CD or Cabinet files to com-
plete the installation of the 802.11a PCI Card. Proxim recommends that you
do not proceed with the installation until you have confirmed that you have
one of these Windows installation media available.
