Safety Information xiii

xiv Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2

Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 (referred to as PC Card )isa
credit-card-sized adapter that provides an interface between computers and
Token-Ring networks. It is part of the shared RAM family of adapters. The PC Card
is designed for computers with slots that comply with the standards for the Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Release 2.1, Type II
slots.
Features include:
vRemote Program Load (RPL)
vFull-duplex-ready.
vSupports the Desktop Management Interface (DMI).
vEasy to install — variable interrupt levels and I/O address choices.
vIncludes RJ-45 cable and STP media access adapter for easy connection to
either UTP or STP cables.
vMobile computing possible because the PC Card does not have to be removed;
simply disconnect the cable and reconnect when you are in the new location.
See “Stealth Mode” on page 2.
vCompliance with PCMCIA Revision 6.2 and IEEE 802.5 standards. This allows
use of the PC Card with a variety of application programs.
vAuto Ring Speed, a configurable option that permits the PC Card device driver to
detect and operate at the data rate of the ring.
vSupport for a variety of network operating systems and network applications.
Auto Ring Speed
The Auto Ring Speed function avoids problems due to manual configuration of an
incorrect data rate. The function also eliminates the need to reconfigure the PC
Card if the data rate of the ring is changed.
You should not select Auto Ring Speed if you might be the first one to attach to
your ring. The PC Card will not allow you to connect in this case. You will have to
try to connect again after another Token-Ring user is on the ring.
When using the PC Card in Auto Ring Speed mode, it is important to be aware of
transmit buffer limitations that may cause problems. A 16-Mbps Token Ring can
support transmit buffer sizes up to 17 960 bytes. A 4-Mbps Token Ring can support
transmit buffer sizes up to 4464 bytes. This is a restriction due to the speed of the
media. This might affect your application.
If your software is configured to try 16-Mbps ring operation first and you plan to
utilize Auto Ring Speed, use a transmit buffer size less than or equal to 4464 bytes.
This will ensure that you will not have any open PC Card errors due to improper
transmit buffer size if your PC Card must change ring speed.

Stealth Mode
The device drivers for Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 are fully
backward-compatible with all of the previous versions of IBM Token-Ring Credit
Cards, however there have been improvements in the hardware with the
introduction of the Turbo PC Cards. That new hardware feature is referred to as
Stealth Mode and can be used in the Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 to remove
power from the card by removing only the cable. The operating system will not
sense the presence of the card in the slot with the cable detached.
With previous IBM Token-Ring Credit Cards, with the exception of the IBM Turbo
16/4 Token-Ring PC Card, the card and cable had to be removed from the
computer to remove power to the slot and the detection of the adapter from the
operating system.
When removing the cable from the PC Card while the system is running or
connected to the network or both, stop the PC Card before you remove the cable or
card, just as you normally would when removing any adapter from the system.
Note: If the cable is disconnected at boot time under a Plug and Play operating
system, the operating system will not be aware of the PC Card’s presence
and will not try to load the device drivers for the PC Card. However, under
an operating system which is not Plug and Play compliant, the operating
system will try to load the PC card device drivers anyway and as a result the
operating system will generate an error message referring to the adapter or
the device drivers or both.

Chapter 2. Installation
Checklist
The PC Card cannot be installed without a network operating system on the
computer. Ensure that a network operating system has been installed, or use
LCINST to install IBM LAN Client as described in
IBM Token-Ring Adapter
Features
.
To install this PC Card, complete the following steps in order.
1. Read the information in Chapter 1, “Introduction.”
2. Check the shipping package contents list and tips that begin on page 3.
3. Insert the PC Card; see page 5 .
4. Connect the cable to the PC Card and to the network. The cable must connect
to the PC Card, or the system will not recognize the PC Card.
5. Install the new driver according to the operating system on your computer. See
“Chapter 4. Software Installation” on page 9.
6. Installation is now complete. You must reboot your system for the changes to
take effect. If you have not inserted the PC Card already, insert it before
rebooting the system. “Hot-Pluggability and Suspend/Resume Issues” on page 7
gives information about hot-plugging the PC Card.
Kit Contents
Your kit contains the following items:
vIBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 (also called PC Card )
vToken-Ring PC Card cable, P/N 38H7044. (The standard cable uses an RJ-45
connector for use with UTP network wiring.)
vOne IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 CD-ROM.
vAn STP connector for connection to STP network wiring, P/N 73G8314. See
“Chapter 3. Inserting and Removing the PC Card” on page 5 for information on
installing the PC Card, the cable, and, if needed, the STP connector.
Note: If you are connecting to a standard Token-Ring cable that uses a D-shell
connector (P/N 6339098), you should order PC Card cable P/N 38H7046.
vAdapter Support Information card
vRegistration card.
Installation Tips
This section provides references to other sections of this book, telephone numbers,
and tips about the PC Card.
1. Check to see if there is a newer level of the driver available. See “Chapter 4.
Software Installation” on page 9.
2. If you have problems with your computer or PC Card or you need assistance,
contact your IBM representative or call the IBM Help Center. See “Questions,
Problems?” on page 50.

3. If you plan to use Card and Socket Services software, Version 2.0 or higher,
install it and reboot your computer. The software might have been provided with
your computer or operating system. See page 38 for a description of these
services.
Return to page 3 to continue. Step 2 of the Installation Checklist is now complete.
