2.2 Install the Adapter

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Remove the computer’s cover, in

accordance with its manual.

3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card
into the connector of any available PCI
Bus master expansion slot. Press the card

5

firmly into the connector to PCI slot.
Please make sure that the card’s contacts
are fully seated in the PCI slot.

4. Install the bracket screw that secures the
card to the Computer chassis.

5. Replace the computer’s cover.

6. Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to

the RJ-45 network connector.

7. Remove [Drivers and User’s manual]
diskette from the PC diskette drive.

8. Turn on the computer.

9. If the BIOS section of your computer’s

boot program is Plug and Play compliant,
then at power up the BIOS will configure
any newly installed adapter automatically.

Note:

Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs'
problem, it happens occasionally that a
newly installed adapter is assigned an
Interrupt Number which is already used by
another device adapter. 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-conflict Interrupt
Number.
