Additional Information:

IBM 5250 Express Adapter Support Diskettes
Included with your IBM 5250 Express Adapter are two 5250 Express Adapter Support Diskettes. The 5250 Express Installation Program must be started from Disk 1. The 5250 Express Installation Program is used to install support that may be necessary for your software and/or hardware Twinax emulation configuration. You must run this installation after you install one of the IBM 5250 Express adapters. Make sure any emulation application you intend to use is installed BEFORE running this installation program. See the 5250 Express manual for instructions on starting the installation program. Please read the text on the screens carefully while running the 5250 Express Installation Program as they contain important information to guide you through the install.

Disk 2 also contains part of the 5250 Express Installation Program which you will be prompted to insert when needed. Disk 2 is also a bootable diskette to allow you to run the 5250 Adapter Test Program (diagnostics) and the Hardware Configuration Program for IBM 5250 Adapters. Disk 2 is shipped write-enabled. This diskette must remain write-enabled because both the diagnostics and configuration programs save information to this diskette.

Please note that whenever the Express Adapter Support Diskette, Disk 2, is in the floppy drive and you reboot your system, the diskette will boot and start the Hardware Configuration Program.

IBM 5250 Express Installation Program
*Selecting Your Adapter Type*

While running the IBM 5250 Express Installation Program you will be asked to select which 5250 Express Adapter you have installed. If you have the IBM 5250 ISA Express Adapter and the adapter is in Plug and Play mode (as shipped), select:
"IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter"

If Plug and Play mode has been disabled, select: "IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter (Non Plug-n-Play mode)".

*Changing Between ISA Plug-n-Play Mode and Non Plug-n-Play Mode*

If you change the PnP mode of the Express ISA adapter from PnP enabled to Non PnP mode or vice versa, you need to run the Express installation program again and select your current ISA adapter.

*Selecting an Install Option*

While running the IBM 5250 Express Installation Program you will be asked to select which option you would like to install from a list similar to the following:

- Support for IBM Client Access
- Support for IBM Personal Communications AS/400
- Updates for the IBM Enhanced Link Version 3.0
- IBM 5250 Express Adapter Support Only

You MUST run this installation program from the operating system you intend to use. Not all of the options are available under every operating system. Only the applicable options for your Express adapter and operating system configuration will be displayed for you to choose from. If your emulation application is not listed, select the "IBM 5250 Express Adapter Support Only" option.

Refer to the specific sections in this Readme.txt for each support option for additional information.

*PC Card Users*

If you receive a message during the installation that Hardware Configuration will be run and the options you must choose are listed, here also is a list of those options:

1. From Select Adapter Type menu, choose IBM 5250 Express PC Card
2. When prompted to add a command to CONFIG.SYS, choose Yes
3. Follow the rest of the instructions and then select Exit from the "5250 Adapter Configuration Menu"

*DOS and OS/2 Users*

You should ignore the "This Disk" and "Entire Installation/Entire Project" percentage indicator boxes at the bottom of the screen while running the IBM 5250 Express Installation Program.

While running under DOS, the selected option in a box of options will be the one that is flashing.

While running under OS/2, the selected option in a box of options will be the one that is NOT in reverse video.
