INTRODUCTION
Thankyouforchoosingthe10/100/1000MbpsGigabit
EthernetCardfor32‐bitPCIBus‐equippedpersonal
computers.The32‐bitPCI10/100/1000MbpsGigabit
EthernetCardisidealforspeedingupdatatransfersfor
networkserversandothercomputers,suchasthose
usedforvideo‐conferencing,thatsendand/orreceive
largeamountsofdata.The32‐bitPCI
10/100/1000MbpsGigabitEthernetCardalsoincludes
thenewestnetworkingtechnologies,suchas
multicastingsupport,thatusenetworkbandwidth
moreefficientlyandfurtherhelpthecardmaximize
datathroughput.

GigabitEthernetTechnology
GigabitEthernetisanextensionofIEEE802.3Ethernet
utilizingthesamepacketstructure,format,and
supportforCSMA/CDprotocol,fullduplex,and
managementobjects,butwithatenfoldincreasein
theoreticalthroughputover100MbpsFastEthernet
andaonehundred‐foldincreaseover10MbpsEthernet.
Sinceitiscompatiblewithall10Mbpsand100Mbps
Ethernetenvironments,GigabitEthernetprovidesa
straightforwardupgradewithoutwastingacompany’s
existinginvestmentinhardware,software,andtrained
personnel.
Theincreasedspeedandextrabandwidthofferedby
GigabitEthernetisessentialtocopingwiththenetwork

3
bottlenecksthatfrequentlydevelopascomputersand
theirbussesgetfasterandmoreusersuseapplications
thatgeneratemoretraffic.Upgradingkeycomponents,
suchasyourbackboneandserverstoGigabitEthernet
cangreatlyimprovenetworkresponsetimesaswellas
significantlyspeedupthetrafficbetweenyoursubnets.
GigabitEthernetenablesTwisted‐Paircable
connectionstosupportvideoconferencing,complex
imaging,andsimilardata‐intensiveapplications.
Likewise,sincedatatransfersoccur10timesfaster
thanFastEthernet,serversoutfittedwithGigabit
EthernetNIC’sareabletoperform10timesthe
numberofoperationsinthesameamountoftime.

FastEthernetTechnology
ThegrowingimportanceofLANsandtheincreasing
complexityofdesktopcomputingapplicationsare
fuelingtheneedforhighperformancenetworks.A
numberofhigh‐speedLANtechnologieshavebeen
proposedtoprovidegreaterbandwidthandimprove
client/serverresponsetimes.Amongthem,100BASE‐T
(FastEthernet)providesanon‐disruptive,smooth
evolutionfromthecurrent10BASE‐Ttechnology.The
non‐disruptiveandsmoothevolutionnature,andthe
dominatingpotentialmarketbase,virtuallyguarantee
costeffectiveandhighperformanceFastEthernet
solutionsintheyearstocome.
100MbpsFastEthernetisanewstandardspecifiedby
theIEEE802.3LANcommittee.Itisanextensionofthe
10MbpsEthernetstandardwiththeabilitytotransmit
andreceivedataat100Mbps,whilemaintainingthe
CSMA/CDEthernetprotocol.Sincethe100MbpsFast
Ethernetiscompatiblewithallother10MbpsEthernet
environments,itprovidesastraightforwardupgrade
andtakesadvantageoftheexistinginvestmentin
hardware,software,andpersonneltraining.

UNPACKINGANDINSTALLATION
Thischapterprovidesunpackingandinstallation
informationforthe32‐bitPCI10/100/1000Mbps
GigabitEthernetCard.
Unpacking
CAUTION:Underordinarycircumstances,the32‐bitPCI
10/100/1000MbpsGigabitEthernetCard
willnotbeaffectedbystaticchargeas
maybereceivedthroughyourbody
duringhandlingoftheunit.However,
therearespecialcircumstanceswhere
youmaycarryanextraordinarilyhigh
staticcharge,andpossiblydamagethe
cardand/oryourcomputer.Itisgood
practicetoeliminateallstaticelectricity
bytouchingaground(anunpainted
metalareaofyourcomputerchassis,for
example)beforeperformingany
installations.

Opentheshippingcartonandcarefullyremoveall
items,ascertainthatyouhave:

zOne32‐BitGigabitPCIAdapter
zOneMulti‐LanguageQuickInstallationGuide

10
zOneCD‐ROM(Driver&User’sGuide)
Ifanyitemisfoundmissingordamaged,pleasecontact
yourlocalresellerforreplacement.
InstallingtheGigabitEthernetCard
1.InserttheCD‐ROMtoyourCD‐ROMdriveandonce
theAutorunwindowappears,selectInstallDriver
optiontostarttheinstallation.
  
2.Followtheinstructionsonyourdesktopandoncethe
driverinstallationiscompleted,pleaseshutdown
thecomputer,unplugsitspowercord,andremove
thechassiscover.
3.InsertthecontactedgeoftheGigabitEthernetcard
intotheconnectorofanyavailablePCIBusMaster

11
expansionslot.Pressthecardfirmlyintothe
connectorsuchthatthecard’scontactsarefully
seatedintheconnector,thiscardcanputeitherin
32‐bitor64‐bitPCIslot,butitisrecommendedthat
thecardtoputinthe64‐bitPCIslottohavethe
maximumperformance.
3.Installthebracketscrewandsecurethecardtothe
computerchassis.
4.Coverthecomputer’schassis.
5.Switchcomputerpoweron.IftheBIOSsectionof
yourcomputer’sbootprogramisPlug‐and‐Play
compliant,thenatpower‐uptheBIOSwill
automaticallyconfigureanynewlyinstalledthe
GigabitEthernetCard.
NOTE: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.

12
ConnectingtheNetworkCable
FourpairofCat.5UTPorSTPcablewithRJ‐45
connectorisrequiredforthe32‐bitPCI
10/100/1000MbpsGigabitEthernetCard.Youcanuse
standardorcrossovercabletoconnecttheswitchMDI‐
XorMDI‐IIport,becausethe32‐bitPCI
10/100/1000MbpsGigabitEthernetCardwilladjustthe
correctsignalautomatically.
