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 (included with certain models
only) provides one line for the network card
auxiliary power and one line for the card wake-up
signal, the other line is ground (if the motherboard
complies with PCI 2.2, you don’t need to install the
Wake-On-LAN cable). Even if the PC is powered
off, network card still receives power to maintain
the link status and monitoring the network. When a
wake-up packet is received, the card signals the
motherboard to power up the PC and maintenance
and other support tasks can be performed.

Installation
The installation procedures for the 10/100Mbps PCI
bus Fast Ethernet Card including hardware
installation, BIOS (on the motherboard)
configuration, and driver installation.
Step 1, Hardware Installation
1. Power 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
golden connectors are firmly seated inside the
slot. Secure the card’s bracket on the PC’s
chassis with a screw.
4. Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (optional, for
PCI 2.1 motherboard). 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
motherboard. Refer to your computer’s
installation manual to locate this connector.
5. Replace the computer’s cover, connect the
network cable to the newly installed network
card, and reconnect the computer’s power
cord.

Step 2, BIOS Configuration
Some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs occasionally
assign Interrupt Number which has been assigned to
another device to the PCI Network Card. In such a
case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause
both devices not functioning properly. To resolve
this issue, it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup
utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting
Interrupt Number to each PCI devices. Please
consult the motherboard’s User’s Guide for
instructions on how to configure BIOS settings.
Please do not attemp to change the BIOS settings
unless you are familiar with the BIOS
configuration.
Step 3, Driver Installation
The last step of the installation is to install the
network driver. The driver for each networking
operating system is under a separate directory. A
HELPME.EXE file under root directory lists the
information and detailed installation procedures for
all the available drivers.

8
Troubleshooting
If you experience any problem with the adapter,
first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded,
the network cable has the correct grade and is
working, and the device the network card is
connected to is functioning properly.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and
firmly seated in the PCI slot (please check this
with the computer’s power off).
2. Check the length and rating of connecting
cables (CAT5 100 meter max.).
3. Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not
deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS
Setup utility in PCI computers normally
provides the options to activate or deactivate
the PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified
adapter and run DIAG.EXE diagnostic tests on
the sofrware diskette at directory of \DIAG\.
Note: Please boot the computer to DOS buy using Windows
startup disk or DOS disk and then run the DIAG.EXE. This
DIAG program may not run properly in Windows DOS
prompt.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI
slot or a different PCI computer and run the test
again.
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the
computer and run the tests again. If the

9
verification/diagnostic is not normal, then there
is probably an interrupt number conflict which
will have to be resolved manually by running
CMOS Setup Utility after installing all of the
expansion cards.
