following products:
¹IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter
¹IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN
This chapter describes the adapters, the contents of the adapter kits,
and other materials you need to install these adapters. Topics
include:
¹“Adapter Overview”
¹“Using the Wake on LAN Feature” on page 1-3
|¹“About the Adapter Fault Tolerance Feature” on page 1-3
¹“About DHCP/RPL Support with the Adapters” on page 1-4

* DHCP support means Pre-Execute Environment (PXE) remote boot
with Intel's LANDesk Service Agent (LSA) code in Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
It is important that you are familiar with the PC in which either of the
adapters will be installed and with the PC’s operating system and
network software.
These adapters use the same drivers and software utility. Therefore,
most of the information in this manual applies to both adapters
interchangeably. Where the information differs, it is noted.
Adapter Overview
The IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters pave the way to higher
bandwidth operation and improved network performance, without
disrupting your existing infrastructure. It is easy to use these Plug
and Play, 32-bit Busmaster adapters. Designed for flexibility, they
run at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in full- or half-duplex mode to support a
 Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 1998 1-1
Title: ASB3CNTL CreationDate: 07/16/98 18:07:52

variety of network configurations, ranging from conventional
10BASE-T to Fast Ethernet environments.
The adapters:
¹Operate in shared 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX environments as
well as in switched 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks
¹Run at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode, yielding
20-Mbps and 200-Mbps capacity, respectively
¹Attach to 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps LANs with a single RJ-45
connector
¹Operate in symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) environments
¹Display the status of link, activity, and 100-Mbps operation via
LEDs
|¹Support Novell NetWare 3.12 or higher, IBM OS/2 LAN Server,
| Microsoft LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups 3.11,
| Windows NT 3.51 or higher, Windows 95, Windows 98, SCO
| Open Desktop 3.0, SCO Open Server 5.0, and SCO UnixWare
| 2.1 or higher.
|¹The 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN supports
| system wakeup events in both ACPI and APM environments with
| IBM Wake on LAN-capable PC systems.
¹The Boot ROM module is a standard feature for the 10/100
EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN. The card comes with
an onboard ROM pre-flashed with Intel LANDesk Service Agent
code (LSA code) for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) remote boot ready. For the Remote Program Load
(RPL) remote boot, a flash utility disk is available for re-flashing
the ROM to RPL code.
¹For 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter, an optional ROM Module kit
(PN 86H2856) is available for your DHCP or RPL remote boot
applications.

Using the Wake on LAN Feature
The Wake on LAN feature can be disabled or enabled using your
system configuration utility. Refer to your PC documentation for
details.
Power for the 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN is
always ON when the PC is connected to ac power, regardless of the
PC ON/OFF switch. When the PC power is OFF, this adapter
constantly monitors the LAN for the wake-up frame that requests
power to be applied to the PC.
The wake-up frame can be a broadcast or an individually addressed
frame. The following data is required and can occur anywhere in the
data portion of the wake-up frame.
¹6 bytes of X'FF', followed by
¹48-bit universally administered address (UAA or MAC address) of
the adapter to be woken up, repeated eight or more times. Eight
repetitions are required; more than eight are acceptable.
If you are not familiar with Wake on LAN operation, you can refer to
the following World Wide Web based documents:
¹ Wake on LAN at http://www.pc.ibm.com/infobrf/iblan.html
¹ Wake up to Wake on LAN at
http://www.networking.ibm.com/eji/ejiwake.html
| For more details about Wake on LAN cables and IBM Wake on LAN
| PC systems, read WOLCABLE.TXT and WOL-INFO.TXT help files in
| the \INFO\GENERAL directory on the Installation diskette.
About the Adapter Fault Tolerance Feature
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT), also known as redundant NIC, is a
simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the reliability of
server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery
to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface
card failure. By assigning two IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters as
a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network
Chapter 1. Introducing the Adapters 1-3
Title: ASB3CNTL CreationDate: 07/16/98 18:07:52

performance. For further AFT details, read the AFT.TXT help file in
the A:\INFO\GENERAL directory of the Diagnostics and Help
diskette.
About DHCP/RPL Support with the Adapters
With the onboard ROM on the 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with
Wake on LAN, or the optional ROM module on the 10/100 EtherJet
PCI Adapter, the following support and features are provided:
¹The adapters can support DHCP remote boot with DHCP flash
code or RPL remote boot with RPL flash code.
|¹The DHCP LANDesk Service Agent (LSA) code supports both
| Intel's LANDesk Configuration Manager (LCM) and the IBM LAN
| Client Control Manager 2.x (LCCM 2.x).
| The RPL code supports RPL remote boot with IBM LAN Client
| Control Manager 1.1 or 2.x (LCCM 1.1 or LCCM 2.x).
¹The flash diskette provided gives you the option to load the
Flash Module with DHCP code or with RPL code.
You can download this diskette from the Web at:
http://www.networking.ibm.com/nes/nesether.htm.
Select EtherJet 10/100 PCI Adapters and then look for the
DHCP/RPL flash diskette ETPFLSH.EXE.
For further information regarding the DHCP/RPL option, see
Chapter 3, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and Remote
Program Load.”
Prerequisite Operating System PCI Updates
Please check with your operating system supplier for the latest
information concerning required updates to support PCI adapters.
Some currently available operating systems are not PCI-aware, so
the device drivers for the IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters are
written to the PCI-architected BIOS or register-level interfaces.

¹The safety information in your PC manual concerning adapter
installation
Installing the Adapter
1In the manual provided with your PC, locate the instructions for
installing an adapter. Be sure to follow any safety instructions
in that manual.
2Switch OFF the PC and all connected devices.
3Remove the power cord from the outlet.
Note: In the U.K., by law, the telephone line cable (if
connected) must be disconnected before the power cord.
4Remove all cables from your PC to the connected devices.
Note: Make sure to label the cables for correct reconnection
later.
5Follow the instructions provided in your PC manual for
removing the cover or otherwise accessing the adapter slots.
If you are installing the IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter
