echnology
The ada ter is an ACPI-com liant network ada ter that
su orts
the following features:
- Power management interface
- Remote wake-u (RWU)
ACPI (A vance Configuration an Power Management Interface
)
ACPI is a key element in O erating System Directed Power Man-
agement. It is a s ecification develo ed by Intel, Microsoft,
and
Toshiba Cor which allows more advanced ower management fea-
tures through the o erating system to the hardware interfaces.

(

WU)
The Remote Wake-u feature is rovided by Wake on LAN
(WOL)
technology that resides in a network ada ter and on the
system
motherboard in a LAN environment. When a system is in a
standby
or sus end state, the network ada ter continuously monitors
the
network and watches for a wake-u acket. When it receives
that
ackets, it alerts the system, which then comes to a full ower
state
and stands ready for maintenance or other tasks.

Metho s
The ada ter su orts the following wake-u methods:
- Magic acket wake-u
The ada ter can acce t magic ackets from network and walk-
u the com uter at standby state or shutdown state.
- Link change wake-u
The ada ter can sense link u event and walk-u the com uter
from standby state.
- Ping acket
The ada ter can acce t a ing acket and walk-u the
Windows com uter from standby state.

LAN
(WOL)
Installation
The ada ter features :
1. One LAN controller which can su ort PCI ower manage-
ment interface and function.
2. One 3-Pin Wake on LAN (WOL) connector (JP1) for PCI 2.1
system
3. One Wake on LAN (WOL) cable for PCI 2.1 system
For
PCI
2.1
Systems
(or
earlier
2.0
systems)
The 3- in WOL connector (JP1) rovides an interface to the PCI
2.1 com liant system motherboard for auxiliary ower and
Power
Management Enable signal through the WOL cable. One 3- in
WOL
connector must be also rovided on the motherboard. To install
the
cable, refer to section 2.2 for the details.
9

For
PCI
2.2
Systems
JP1 WOL connector and WOL cable are not required. WOL feature
is accom lished through PCI 2.2 bus interface.
To su ort remote wake-u , the system motherboard must be fea-
tured with R
WU or WOL su ort in hardware and BIOS. Refer to
your system motherboard manual to determine if it is remote wake-
u ca able.

Function
The Wake-On-LAN function of the ada ter is enabled with

configuration
of the ada ter.

In addition to the RWU-ca able motherboard, an ACPI
su orted
o erating system, such as Windows XP/ 2000/ ME/ 95/ 98 is
also
required to achieve RWU functionality.

Installing
the
Adapter
This cha ter describes how to install the Fast Ethernet PCI
ada ter
in a PCI com uter and how to connect the ada ter to the
network.
Before installing the ada ter, you need the following:
- A com uter system that is com liant with the PCI s ecifica-
tions version 2.1 or later.
- An available PCI bus master slot in the com uter
- A Wake on LAN cable (su lied with the ada ter)
- The ada ter driver diskettes (or CD su lied with the ada ter)
- Fiber cables
2.1
Installing
the
Adapter
To install the ada ter in your com uter, follow these ste s:
1. Turn off the ower to the com uter and disconnect all cables
connected to the com uter.
2. Remove the com uter's cover.
3. Unscrew and remove the slot cover from the PCI bus slot that
you lan to use.
4. Install o tional Boot ROM, if you want to use the remote boot
ROM function. Refer to A endix for more information.
5. Insert the ada ter into the slot and secure the screw.
6. Configure WOL, if required. Refer to 2.2 for the details.
7. Re lace the com uter cover and reconnect all reviously
connected cables.

through
the PCI bus interface directly.
If
your
system
is
a
PCI
2.1
com laint
system,
follow
these
ste s:
1. Make sure your system motherboard is RWU ca able.
2. Make sure WOL function is enabled in the system BIOS.
3. Locate the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard.
4. Plug one end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector of
the ada ter.
5. Plug the other end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL
connector on the system motherboard.

Network
Driver
Installation
After making the connection to the network, you must install
the
ada ter network driver in order to connect the Fast Ethernet
ada ter
to your network o erating system.
3.1
Driver
Information
The ada ter driver media contain the latest versions of the
network
drivers available when the ada ter is shi ed from the factory.
A
file, \README.TXT, located in the diskette's root directory con-
tains a list of the su orted driver software and the directory struc-
tures for the su orted o erating environments. Please refer to
this
file first before installing any network driver for the ada ter.
3.2
BIOS
Setup
Before installing the driver, it is recommended to run the
system
BIOS setu utility to check each PCI slot that contains a Fas
t
Ethernet PCI ada ter for the following PCI settings:
1. Enable/disable the PCI slot : make sure the PCI slot is enabled
for the ada ter.
2. Assign an IRQ number : make sure the IRQ number does not
conflict with other add-in ada ters.
3. Enable the RWU or WOL function in BIOS, if it is available. In
some com uters, the BIOS o tion is called "Power U On PCI
Card".
On a PCI lug-and- lay system, the PCI BIOS automatically con-
figures
the
ada ter,
so
there
is
no
user
action
needed.

A.1 Installing Remote Boot ROM
Before you can use the remote boot function, you have to setu
the
remote boot service on the file server and install the remote
boot
ROM onto the ada ter.
The remote boot ROM is o tional and must be urchased se a-
rately. The ada ter boot ROM su orts both PXE and RPL roto-
cols
at
the
same
time.
Consult
your
dealer
for
the
availabilit
y
.
To install the boot ROM, make sure the notch of the boot ROM
is
in the same direction as the notch of the socket on the ada ter.
The
remote
boot
ROM
socket
is
labeled
U3
on
the
ada te
r
.
After installation, use RSET8139 utility rogram rovided in
the
driver
diskette
to
enable
boot
ROM
function.
To setu remote boot services in different o eration systems,
refer
to the associated o eration manual of each network o eration sys-
tem.
