1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchasing of your new Gigabit Fast Ethernet PCI adapter. This document describes the Installation of network adapter. This adapter supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet copper interface. Moreover, the PCI interface on the Gigabit Ethernet NIC complies with PCI Local Bus Rev 2.0/2.1/2.2, is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus. As a bus master, the NIC requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled. The Gigabit card supports IEEE 802.1p prioritization function for mission-critical and time-correlated applications. With IEEE 802.1Q multiple VLAN support, it can filter packets by recognized VLAN tags, take off VLAN tags when received, and insert VLAN tags when transmitted.
1.1 Features
The Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter is a cost effective, high-performance network interface card. It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes and integrates easily with Fast Ethernet hub and Gigabit hub and switch.
Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard Complies with IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standard Complies with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standard Complies with PCI rev 2.0/2.1/2.2 specifications Supports 32 bit bus master for high throughput and low CPU utilization Supports both half and full duplex operation Supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing capability Rich diagnostic LED mounted on bracket for easily viewing and troubleshooting

1.2 System Requirements
To use the adapter, you need the following components: One 32 or 64 bit PCI master mode expansion slot that is compliant with PCI bus specifications, revisions 2.0/2.1/2.2 One CD -Rom The following cables:
Port Type Media Max. Distance 10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP 100 meter 100/1000BASE-T Cat. 5 or 5e UTP 100 meter
NOTE: 1000BASE-T signaling requires four twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95
3 2. Unpack and Inspect
Caution: Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit .In special circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it had better reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping gift box and carefully remove all items. Please check the following items: One Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter One driver/Manual CD This users Manual Note: If any of the listed items are missing, please contact your distributor or reseller
3. Install the Adapter
1. Turn off the computer. 2. Remove the computers cover, in accordance to its manual. 3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card into the connector of any available PCI Bus master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector to PCI slot. Please make sure that the cards contacts are fully seated in the PCI slot. 4. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the Computer chassis. 5. Replace the computers cover. 6. Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to the RJ-45 network connector. 7. Remove driver diskette from the PC diskette drive. 8. Turn on the computer. 9. If the BIOS section of your computers boot program is Plug and Play compliant, then at power up the BIOS will configure any newly installed adapter automatically.
4 Note: Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs' problem, it happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is assigned an interrupt number that is already used by another device adapter. 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-conflict Interrupt Number.
