This introductory chapter will be useful if you are new to Fast Ethernet and other new technologies used by the Server Card. Otherwise, skip ahead to the Installation chapter. 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. · SNMP alerts based on any of the 4 adapter states--built-in software sends alarms and alerts to any SNMP Management Console based on various states and conditions of each network. . 2 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Card 2 Installation Minimum Hardware Requirements · · · · · · Intel Pentium-class processor mouse or compatible pointing device CD-ROM drive VGA video adapter 32 MB RAM 2 MB HDD space Operating System Requirements · · Microsoft Windows NT 4. 0 (with Service Pack 6, Service Pack 5, with Service Pack 3 and NDIS Hot Fix, and with Service Pack 4 and Roll-up Hot Fix) Microsoft Windows 2000 Installation of a Server Card requires hardware installation first, then software installation. The Server Card requires a universal bus PCI connection and enough room behind the connector to accommodate a full-length card. Unpacking and Inspection CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the Server 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 is good practice to reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card. Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In addition to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have: · One Ethernet Adapter Server Card. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover. Insert the contact edge of the Server Card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector and ascertain that the card's contacts are fully seated in the connector. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis. Connect all the cable in your group. 3 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Card 6. Reconnect the computer's power cord, and 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 Server Card adapter. 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 nonconflicting Interrupt Number. Connecting the Network Cable Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both the Fast Ethernet and Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum length of any single cable run between any station and its supporting hub is 100 meters. [. . . ] Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or deactivate PCI slots. Replace the adapter in question with an adapter that has been verified to be working properly and run the diagnostic test again. Install the questionable adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests again. [. . . ]
