Installation
Warnings:
· Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid
touching its electrical components and always touch the metal chassis
of your computer before handling the card.
· Backup your driver diskette and use the copy as the working diskette to
protect the original from accidental damage.
1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and
remove the computer’s cover.
2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and remove its
protective bracket.
3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge
connectors are firmly seated inside the slot. Then, screw
the card’s bracket securely into the PC’s chassis.

4. Connect the Cheetah PCI Adapter directly to a 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-TX hub or switch using UTP cable (Category
3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T; Category 5 for 100BASE-TX). The
maximum allowable length of UTP cable connections is 100
meters (328 ft.). When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the
tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is
properly seated.
5. Replace the computer’s cover and power it on. The
Cheetah PCI Adapter should be automatically configured
by the host computer’s BIOS. However, if you have an
older computer, you may have to manually configure the
computer’s BIOS settings. See “Troubleshooting.”
6. Install the appropriate network driver for your operating
system. The Accton driver diskette that accompanies the
Cheetah PCI Adapter contains all the network operating
system drivers supported by this card. For convenience,
the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT drivers are placed in
the diskette’s root directory. Please read the “RELEASE.TXT”
file on the diskette for a list of all drivers. A text file is
included with each driver to detail the proper installation
procedure. Any new or updated drivers can be
downloaded from Accton’s Web site at http://www.
accton.com.
Setup Program
If the Cheetah PCI Adapter is not automatically configured by
the host PC, or there is a problem with the card, run the DOSbased Setup Program to help configure the PC’s BIOS settings
and test the card.
1. Boot the computer to a full DOS environment (not a DOS
window) and run the Setup Program, SET1207D.EXE, on
the Accton driver diskette. The screen will display the Main
Menu (see below).
