Chapter 1Introduction
The ENW-9606 is a10/100/1000Mbps 32-bitPeripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus
Ethernetadapterdesigned toaddress high-performance system application requirements. The
bus-master architecture provides very high datathroughput as it runs in the 32-bit PCIbus of the
server smainboard rather than waiting on the CPU.
The ENW-9606 supportsboth current motherboards (32-bit/33MHzPCI) and also the new PCI interface
(32-bit/66MHz) and operating systems of the nextgeneration, future-proofing yourinvestment.Lower
TCO (Total CostofOwnership) and with increased performance,the ENW-9606 is nowthe choice of
your network data server or just rightfor your powerful desktop PCs.

2.2 ENW-9606 Installation
Step 1:Turn off the PC.
Step 2: Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists.
Step 3: Remove the cover from your PC.
Step 4: Locate an empty,non-shared bus mastering PCI slot and remove the corresponding back

Step 5: Carefully insert the adapter into the chosen slot and press firmly with proper push to
ensure it is fully seated in the slot.
Step 6: Secure the adapter with the screwyou saved in step 4.
Step 7: Replace the PC cover.
Step 8: Power on the PC and refer tonext chapter to install the driver of this adapter.
Note:Please do not install the ENW-9606 in ashared PCI slot.Avoid any PCI slot nextto an
ISAslot because this is often a shared slot and does not support bus mastering.
