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 throu ghput 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

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 perfo rm 10 times the

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

10Mbps Ethernet standard withthe abilityto transmit

CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol.Since the 100Mbps Fast

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.

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, un plugs 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
