INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a PCI Fast
Ethernet adapter. This adapter was designed and
manufactured to give you years of trouble free and
reliable service.
PCI Ethernet Card
The PCI Ethernet adapter is a high performance
adapter compatible with version 2.0 of the PCI local
bus specification and support Plug and Play (PnP)
function, making it fully auto-configuration.
The adapter supports full-duplex mode. Full duplex
mode can be used to obtain throughput of up to
20/200Mbps when connecting through an Ethernet
switching hub. It also uses the Bus Mastering
features of the PCI bus to give high performance
with a low CPU load. Bus mastering adapter and
other peripherals allow greatly reduced CPU
utilization ratios, resulting in lower latency and
better overall performance.
The Ethernet adapter includes a complete set of
drivers for popular network operating systems. The
optional BOOT ROM device allows the diskless
workstation to be connected to the network.

INSTALLATION
Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the computer, unplug the power cord
and open the computer case.
2. Pick a free PCI bus master expansion slot and
remove the expansion slot cover. Insert the
adapter into the slot until it is fully seated.
Secure the adapter.
3. Replace the computer cover and connect the
network cable to the newly installed network
adapter. Reconnect the computer’s power cord
and plug it into the power outlet.
Configuration
The Fast Ethernet adapter is automatically
configured when you power-on computer. In certain
computers, however, you must modify BIOS by
entering CMOS SETUP utility to enable “PCI
Device” and map INTA to an appropriate address.
Please refer to the system documentation for details
on configuration the PCI SYSTEM BIOS.

Driver Installation
Before you connect the adapter to the network, you
have to install the network driver first. 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 procedure of all the available drivers.
Boot ROM Installation
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
adapter.
2. Refer to the installation procedure provided by
networking operating system.
