Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 32-bit PCI-Bus 10/100Mbps
ACPI Fast Ethernet Card, this card is auto-configurable
upon power up and also supports auto-negotiation to
automatically select the optimum speed and
communication mode of an attached device. Additionally,
the 32-bit PCI-Bus 10/100Mbps ACPI Fast Ethernet Card
complies with ACPI, and PC99, and includes support for
Remote Wake-Up by Magic Packet™, LinkChg and
Microsoft®wake-up frame.
About Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE
Standard 802.3u. It extends the traditional 10Mbps
Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps transmission
and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD
Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a
tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly
compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network
facilities.
About Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of
negotiating the highest data flow capability between the
device (in this case, our Adapter) and their links partner
(some other device). The data flow information, to be
negotiated, consists of the data speed (10Mbps or
100Mbps) and data transfer (half-duplex or full-duplex
communication). The physical process of
auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds to
choose the fastest communications capability between the
two devices.

Remote LAN Wakeup
Remote LAN Wakeup capability is a key feature of a
centrally managed PC environment. This technology
allows networked PCs to be powered up and managed
from a central location, at any time of the day or night. To
employ Remote LAN Wakeup, three elements are
required:
nDesktop management software that can send a
“wake-up” packet to a PC.
nA Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard that can
supply low-level auxiliary power to a network card
when the PC is powered off.
nA Wake-On-LAN network card that can recognize a
wake-up packet and signal the PC to power up.
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely
powered off, it maintains a low-level auxiliary power
supply to the motherboard. The 3-wire Wake-On-LAN
cable provides one line for the network card auxiliary
power and one line for the card wake-up signal, the other
line is ground (if you have PCI 2.2 slot not need the
Wake-On-LAN cable). Even if the PC is powered off
network card is always active and monitoring the network.
When a wake-up packet is detected, the card signals the
motherboard to power up the PC. With the PC powered
on, maintenance and other support tasks can be
performed.

Product Featues
Designed for versatility and performance, the 32-bit
PCI bus 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter
provides the following features:
•Compliant to IEEE 802.3, 10BASE-T standard
•Complaint to IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standard
•Compliant to IEEE ANSI/802.3 NWay
Auto-negotiation standard
•Compliant to PCI 2.1, 2.2 standards
•Compliant to PC99 standard
•Supports Wake-On-LAN function for remote
wake-up (AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg and
Microsoft wake-up frame)
•Supports 4 Wake-On-LAN (WOL) signals (active
high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse)
•Supports ACPI, PCI power management.
•Half/Full duplex capability
•Supports Full Duplex Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x)
•Built-in FIFO buffers reduce overhead of memory
transfers.
•Drivers for all leading Network Operating Systems.
•Two LED indicators: 100M, Link/Activity.
•100M Indicator
A steady green LED indicates that the link speed
is 100Mbps otherwise it is 10Mbps.
•Link/Activity Indicator
A steady green LED indicates good linkage
between the 32-bit PCI bus 10/100Mbps
Fast Ethernet Adapter and its supporting
hub/switch. A flashing green LED indicates that
the adapter is sending or receiving data.

Installation
Installation the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet
Card requires Hardware installation first, then BIOS
and Software installation.
Step 1, Hardware Installation
1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power
cord, and remove the computer’s cover.
2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and
remove its protective bracket.
3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the
edge connectors are firmly seated inside the
slot. Then, screw the card’s bracket securely
into the PC’s chassis.
4. Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (optional, for
PCI 2.1 motherboard). If you require
Wake-On-LAN capability, attach one end of
the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the
connector on the top edge of the card, and the
other end to the “WOL” connector on the
computer’s motherboard. Refer to your
computer’s installation manual to locate this
connector.
5. Install the bracket screw, which secures the
card to the cinouter chassis.
6. Replace the computer’s cover and connect the
network cable to newly installed network
card. Reconnect the computer’s power cord
and plug it into the power outlet.

7
Step 2, BIOS Configuration
Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs,
it happens occasionally that a newly installed
adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is
already assigned to another device. In such a case,
the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in
the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary to
run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a
non-conflicting Interrupt Number.
Step 3, Driver Installation
Before you connect the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Card
to the network, you have to install the network
driver first. The driver for each networking
operating system is under a separate directory. A
HELP.COM file under root directory lists the
information and detailed installation procedure of
all the available drivers.
Step 4, Boot ROM Installation (optional)
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to
connect a diskless workstation to the network.
Perform the following steps to install your Boot
ROM device:
1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the
Card.
2. Refer to the installation procedure provided
by networking operating system.

8
Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter,
first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that
the proper grade of cable is employed for the
network connection, and that the supporting hub is
functioning properly.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and
firmly seated in the slot connector.
2. Check the length and rating of connecting
cables.
3. Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not
deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS
Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily
provides the option to activate or deactivate
PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified
adapter and run DIAG.EXE diagnostic tests on
the software diskette at directory of \DIAG\.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI
computer and run the tests again.
Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer
and run the tests again. If the verification/diagnostic
run is not normal, then there is probably an interrupt
number conflict which will have to be resolved
manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you
have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
