HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Please refer to your PC documentation in order to correctly identify a Bus
Mastering PCI slot and the “5V Standby” connector for Wake On Lan
functionality. Also see the Setup/Bios documentation regarding PCI slots
and their settings.
To install the PCI Card 10/100, power off your PC and remove the chassis
cover. Next, select an unused PCI expansion bus slot and remove its
protective bracket. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge
connectors are firmly seated inside the slot. Screw the card’s bracket
securely into the PC’s chassis and replace the cover.
If you are going to use the 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 “5V Standby”
connector on the computer’s
motherboard.
Connect the PCI Card 10/100 to a
10Base-T or 100Base-TX hub or
switch using RJ45-RJ45 UTP cables
(Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T;
Category 5 for 100BASE-TX).
The maximum allowable length of
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable
connections is 100 meters (328 ft.).
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The PCI Card 10/100 should
be automatically configured by
the PCI computer’s BIOS
setup program.
However, if you have an
older PCI computer, you
may have to change the
computer’s BIOS settings
to accomplish this.
Please refer to section
“Setup and Diagnostics”.
Windows® 98/95
At startup your PC will
automatically detect a new
hardware and ask for the
drivers.
Click on Next.
Insert the driver disk into the
floppy drive, type A:\ and click on
Browse. Select Win95 or Win98
folder.
Click on OK.
Follow the instructions to
complete the installation.
OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS OR APPLICATIONS
All drivers regarding supported operating systems and applications are
located in dedicated folders on the diskette.
Refer to the Release.txt file on the diskette for more details and general
informations.
Where needed a *.TXT file provides specific installation and use details.
SETUP AND DIAGNOSTICS
From the DOS prompt (not from a DOS window under Windows®) run
DIAG.EXE, available in the SETUP folder on the diskette.
Through View current configuration and Set New Configuration menues
you can check the current settings and modify them to match your needs.
Note: IRQ and I/O Base are controlled by the PC’s Bios.
Test and Diagnostic functions are available for testing and troubleshooting.
Please refer to DIAG.TXT file for more detailed informations.
