Thank you for purchasing the Hawking HGA32T 32-Bit
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter. This user’s manual describes
the installation procedures for your new network adapter. The
HGA32T supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T Ethernet copper interfaces. Moreover, the PCI
interface on the Gigabit Ethernet NIC complies with PCI
Local Bus standards and is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus
standards as well.
Features
The HGA32T is a cost effective, high-performance network
interface card. It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T modes and can easily be integrated with Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet hubs and switches. The
HGA32T includes the following features:
• Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard
• Complies with IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standard
• Complies with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standard
• Complies with PCI specifications
• Supports 32-bit bus master for high throughput and low
• Supports Wake-On-LAN (depending on the model and
function of the user’s motherboard)
• Diagnostic LEDs mounted on bracket for easy status
viewing and troubleshooting

Unpack and Inspect
Caution:
Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter 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
recommended that you reduce the charge by grounding your
body before handling the adapter card.
Open the package and carefully remove all items. The
complete HGA32T package consists of:
• One 32-Bit Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter
• One CD with user’s manual and drivers
Check to make sure that the unit was not damaged during
shipping and that no items are missing. If you encounter a
problem, please contact your dealer.
Please read this manual thoroughly, and follow the installation
and operation procedures contained within.

1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover, in accordance with the
instructions in its manual.
3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card into the
connector of any available PCI Bus expansion slot.
Press the card firmly into the connector of the 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 your Ethernet cable to the HGA32T’s RJ-45
network connector.
7. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM 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 problems with some Plug and Play BIOS programs,
a newly installed adapter is occasionally assigned an interrupt
number that is already used by another device adapter. In such
a case, the interrupt number conflict will cause faults in the
behavior of both devices. If this occurs, it is necessary to run
10
the CMOS Setup utility and manually assign a non-conflict
Interrupt Number. As another alternative, moving the network
adapter to another PCI slot may also solve the problem.
CD ROM
The CD contains drivers for all the popular operating systems:
• Windows 98SE/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP
• Linux
• Netware 4/5/6.X
• Mac
