Introduction
This PCI Ethernet adapter is high performance
adapter compatible with version 2.1 of the PCI local
bus specification and support Plug and Play (PnP)
function, making it fully auto-configuration.
The adapter supports full-duplex mode. Full duplex
mode can be used to obtain throughput up to
20Mbps when the twisted-pair port connecting
through an Ethernet switching hub. This feature not
only increases the channel bandwidth from 10Mbps
to 20Mbps but also avoids the performancedegrading problem due to the characteristic of the
Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol.
The Ethernet adapter includes a complete set of
drivers for wide range of Network Operating
Systems. The optional BOOT ROM device allows
the diskless workstation to be connected to the
network.

power cord and plug it into the power outlet.
Configuration
This Ethernet adapter is automatically configured
when you power on the computer. For certain
computers, however, you must modify BIOS by
entering CMOS SETUP utility to enable “PCI
Device” and map INTA to an appropriate address.
Please refer to the system documentation for
details on configuration the PCI SYSTEM BIOS.

Driver Installation
Before you connect adapter to the network, you
have to install the network driver first. A HELP.EXE
file under root directory lists the information and
detailed installation procedure of all the available
driver.
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.
1. Align the notch and pins of the ROM chip with
notch and pinholes on the socket. Insert the
Boot ROM into the socket on the adapter until
it is firmly seated.

2. Execute the SETUP.EXE file to enable the Boot
ROM function by selecting the appropriate Boot
ROM address from the setup menu.
3. Refer to the installation procedure provided by
Networking Operating System, Here lists the
reference subjects under two commonly used
Networking Operating Systems.
