1. Unpacking Information
Thank you for purchasing the EN-9260TX-E PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
Before you start, please verify that your package contains the following items:
1. One EN-9260TX-E PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
2. One Driver/ Manual CD-ROM
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The EN-9260TX-E PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is a high
performance Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed for PCI Express Bus,
which has better performance than the current PCI interface.
Supporting connection speeds of up to 1000 Mbps, it boosts your
networking throughput easily. The EN-9260TX-E allows users to transfer
high-bandwidth needed files faster and hence get a real efficiency
improvement.
The EN-9260TX-E also supports NWay auto-negotiation that detects the
networking speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) and the duplex modes (full/half)
automatically. Auto MDI/MDI-X is also supported to alleviate the effort
choosing crossover cables.
