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.
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.

2. Hardware Installation
Each Gigabit Network Adapter is equipped with an RJ-45 port that
automatically adjusts the connection speed to 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps;
allowing your PC to attach to Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
networks.
For best results, we recommend using Category 5E or higher twisted-pair RJ-
45 cable. However, if you are connecting the adapter to 10Base-T (10Mbps)
network, you can use Category 3 or higher cable. For 100Base-TX (100Mbps)
and 1000Base-T (1000Mbps) networks, please use Category 5 or higher
cables.
The hardware installation is now complete. Next step is to load the
adapter driver and configure your PC's operating system to work with the
Gigabit Adapter.
1. Power off your PC and any peripherals attached to it and unplug your PC's
power cord.
2. Remove computer's cover.
3. Open your computer and locate the PCI slot(s) on your motherboard. PCI
slots are easily identified by their beige or white color, and by the fact that
network cards fit snugly into them. Remove the metal slot cover on the back
of the PC and then insert the Gigabit Adapter into any available PCI slot.
4. Once your Gigabit Adapter is firmly in place, secure it on your PC's
chassis with a screw.
5. Replace your PC's cover.
6. Connect one end of the Category 5/5E cable to the Adapter's RJ-45 port
and another end to a Gigabit Switch or Adapter.
7. Reconnect your PC's power, then power on your computer.
If your computer has Windows Operating System, the computer would
automatically recognize the Adapter as a new hardware and start the driver
installation wizard. Follow the instructions in the Software Installation
section to install the adapter driver.
For computers with Netware Server/Client and Linux, please go to HELP
folder from the driver diskette and select the desired operating system to
view the driver installation procedures.

Troubleshooting
This section provides possible solutions to problems regarding the installation
and operation of the Gigabit Adapter.
Windows does not detect the Gigabit Adapter installed.
The PCI card might not be inserted into the PCI slot correctly or
securely. Please power off the computer, remove and reinstall the Adapter.
Or, install the Adapter into a different PCI slot. The motherboard of your
system might not be Plug & Play compatible. Please check your
motherboard's user's manual for more information.
Windows can't locate the driver for the Gigabit Network Adapter.
Double check the driver diskette and make sure it's labeled for
this Adapter. For the latest driver, please visit http://www.trendnet.com,
select the "Download" section on the page, and select the "product name"
to download the driver.
Please note the driver file on the web site is either in .EXE (executable) or
.ZIP (compressed) format. After downloading the file, for .EXE file, please
double click the file and take a note on where the driver files are copying,
and then locate the driver from that location (e.g. C:\TEG-PCITXR). For
the ZIP file, please use WINZIP or other compatible decompressed
software to expand the file to a desired location and then locate the driver
from that location.
