Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 32-bit PCI-Bus
10/100Mbps NWay 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 NWay 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

4
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:
 Desktop management software that can send a
“wake-up” packet to a PC.
 A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard
(with PCI 2.2) that can supply low-level
auxiliary power to a network card when the PC
is powered off.
 A 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. 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.

Ethernet Adapter and its supporting hub.
• Activity Indicator

6
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 (for
WoL use a slot PCI 2.2) 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. Install the bracket screw, which secures the
card to the cinouter chassis.
5. 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.
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

7
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.
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

8
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 sofrware 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.
