system setup or BIOS to enable the use of CardBus adapt-
ers. Refer to your computer’s User’s Guide for configuration
information.
2. Category 5 (data grade) unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cabling is required for 100 Mbps or Category 3 or 5 for
10 Mbps.

Hardware Installation 1-3
Verify Other Required Equipment
To install the EtherJet CardBus Adapter, you need the following
equipment:
1. A portable PC with a CardBus PC Card slot.
2. A local area network supporting 10- or 100-Mbps Ethernet,
as required, and a network operating system supported by
the EtherJet CardBus Adapter.
Note: Because the EtherJet CardBus Adapter automatically
detects the speed of the network to which it is con-
nected, it may be safely connected to either a
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T network, as specified in
items 3 and 4 below.
3. For connection to a 100BASE-TX 100-Mbps Ethernet net-
work, a Category 5 (data grade) unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector
and connected to a 100-Mbps hub or switch.
4. For connection to a 10BASE-T twisted pair Ethernet network,
a network cable terminating in a male RJ-45 connector and
connected to a 10-Mbps hub or switch.
Determine System Requirements
During installation of the EtherJet CardBus Adapter hardware,
the computer should be ON and your standard operating software
should be loaded. If configured to do so, your system will detect
the EtherJet CardBus Adapter. For details on how to install driver
software, see the chapter for your operating system environment.
Note: The EtherJet CardBus Adapter hardware is compatible
with Types II and III PC Card slots that support CardBus
technology. Installation and removal procedures may vary
on different computers.
