[. . . ] Extensive driver support for commonly used network operation systems is also provided. About Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802. 3u. It extends the traditional 10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network facilities. About Auto-negotiation Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802. 3 procedure of negotiating the highest data flow capability between the device (in this case, our Adapter) and their links partner (some other device). [. . . ] · Four LED indicators: Link, Activity, 100Mbps, Collision/Full-duplex. · LINK Indicator A steady green LED indicates good linkage between the 32-bit PCI bus 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter and its supporting hub. · ACTIVITY Indicator A flashing green LED indicates that the adapter is sending or receiving data. · 100M Indicator This LED indicator lights green when this adapter connected to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Networks. If this adapter connected to 10Mbps Ethernet Network, the LED indicator lights off. · Collision/Full-duplex Indicator This LED indicator lights green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) mode. It blinking green when collisions are occurring on the respective port.

Hardware Installation 1. Turn OFF the computer, unplug its power cord and open the computer case. Insert the contact edge of the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector and ascertain that the card contacts are fully seated in the connector. Install the bracket screw, which secures the card to the cincture chassis. Replace the computer' s case and connect the network cable to newly installed network card. Reconnect the computer' s power cord and plug it into the power outlet. 3. 5. BIOS Configuration 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. Driver Installation Before you connect the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Card to the network, you have to install the network driver first. The driver for each networking operating system is under a separate directory. A HELP. 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: Note: Install the optional remote boot ROM before installing the card. Note: Before handling the remote boot ROM chip, discharge any static electricity on your body by touching a grounding surface such as the chassis of the PC. [. . . ] If the verification/diagnostic run is not normal, then there is probably an interrupt number conflict which will have to be resolved manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
