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
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 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. The 3-wire
Wake-On-LAN cable provides one line for the
network card auxiliary power and one line for the
card wake-up signal, the other line is ground (if you
have PCI 2.2 slot not need the Wake-On-LAN
cable). 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.

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 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. Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (for
installing TE100-PCIWA on PCI 2.1
Motherboard only). If you require
Wake-On-LAN capability, attach one end of
the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the
connector on the top edge of the card, and the
other end to the “WOL” connector on the
computer’s motherboard. Refer to your
computer’s installation manual to locate this
connector.
5. Install the bracket screw, which secures the
card to the cinouter chassis.
6. 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.

7
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
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
HELP8139.EXE file under root directory lists the
information and detailed installation procedure of
all the available drivers.
Step 4, Boot ROM Installation (optional)
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to
connect a diskless workstation to the network.
Perform the following steps to install your Boot
ROM device:
1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the
Card.
2. Refer to the installation procedure provided
by networking operating system.

8
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
provides the option to activate or deactivate
PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified
adapter, reboot the computer to DOS by using a
DOS diskette or a Window’s Startup disk, and
run RSET8139.EXE diagnostic tests on the
sofrware diskette at directory of \DIAG\.
Note:RSET8139.EXE was written for running in DOS
environment. It may not run properly in the DOS prompt
in Windows.
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

9
number conflict which will have to be resolved
manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you
have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
