1 Installing and Connecting the NIC
Safety Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions.
WARNING: Computers operate with voltages that can be lethal. Before removing
the cover, turn off the computer and unplug it. Disconnect all cables that are
connected to the main system unit. Remove jewelry from your hands and wrists.
Use insulated or nonconductive tools.
CAUTION: The NIC is packed in an antistatic container to protect it during
shipment. Do not touch the components or any metal parts on the NIC, except for
the backplate. To avoid damaging the NIC or the computer, reduce static
electricity on your body by wearing an electrostatic discharge wrist strap attached
to the chassis or by touching an unpainted metal part of the chassis before
unplugging the computer and before handling the NIC.
CAUTION: Install the NIC in a PCI slot that conforms to PCI 2.2 specifications.
Do not attempt to install the NIC in an ISA or EISA slot. Doing so may damage the
NIC and the computer.
WARNING: Make sure that the computer power cord is unplugged. Only properly
trained and authorized personnel should perform service. Contact the computer
manufacturer for information about safe service techniques.
Preparing the NIC and the Computer
After observing the safety precautions, follow these preparation steps:
1 Make sure that cable requirements are met.
3CR990B-97 NIC
The RJ-45 port on the 3CR990B-97 NIC provides a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection
automatically, depending on the speed of the connected hub or switch.
The following table shows the cable requirements and maximum network cable
lengths for the 3CR990B-97 NIC:
Network Environment Cable Required Maximum Cable Length
10 Mbps (10BASE-T) CAT 3, 4, or 5 unshielded
100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) CAT 5 UTP 100 m (328 ft)
twisted pair (UTP)
3CR990B-FX-97 NIC
The following table shows the cable requirements and maximum network cable
lengths for the 3CR990B-FX-97 NIC:

Environment Connector Cable Required Maximum Cable Length
100 Mbps
(100BASE-FX)
SC Long-wavelength fiber-optic
(1300 nm):
50 µ/125 µ multimode fiber
62.5 µ/125 µ multimode fiber
100 m (328 ft)
Full-duplex: 2,000 m (6,560 ft)
Half-duplex: 412 m (1,351 ft)

Installing and Connecting the NIC
2 Unpack and inspect the NIC for damage.
3 Exit all open applications and user processes.
4 Turn off the power to the computer and attached devices.
5 Unplug the power cables from the power source.
6 Remove the computer cover.
7 Locate an empty, non-shared bus-mastering PCI slot and remove its slot cover.
Save the screw, if there is one.
Do not install the NIC in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any PCI slot next to an ISA slot.
This slot is often shared and does not support bus mastering.
If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, check the computer documentation or
ask the system administrator.
8 Write down the MAC address of the NIC and note the relative position of the
intended PCI slot.
The MAC address is the 12-digit hexadecimal number printed on the small bar code
label on the component side of the NIC. This information is helpful when you are
installing the network drivers and connecting the cables to the hub or switch.
The next step is to install the NIC in the computer and connect it to the network, as
described in the next section.
Installing and Connecting the NIC
Observe the safety precautions listed in “Safety Precautions” on page 2.
The following instructions apply to installing the NIC in most computers. If these
instructions are not appropriate for your computer, refer to the documentation that
accompanied the computer.

1 Installing and Connecting the NIC
1 Carefully insert the NIC in the empty PCI slot, as shown in the previous illustration.
Press firmly to ensure that the NIC is fully seated in the slot. Secure the NIC with the
screw if you removed one earlier.
2 Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord. Do not turn on the power to
the computer.
3 Connect the cable.
3CR990B-97 NIC
Plug the RJ-45 connector on the twisted-pair network cable into the RJ-45 port on the
NIC backplate as shown in the following figure.
3CR990B-FX-97 NIC
Plug the network cable into the fiber port on the NIC backplate as shown in the
following figure.
4 Connect the other end of the network cable to an active network port.
The next step is to install the software. Go to the appropriate chapter for your
operating system.
NOTE: If your site network installation procedures require you to verify that
installed hardware is functional before you install software, run the
3C99XCFG.EXE DOS diagnostics program before installing the driver. For more
information, see “Using the 3Com DOS Configuration Program” on page 48.

Installation During Novell OS Installation
Installing the Driver in Novell NetWare Server 6.5
Before you begin, make sure that:
• The NIC is installed in the server.
• The latest support pack files are installed. The latest support packs can be found at:
http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.
To obtain the latest support pack files, go to the Novell support Web site and select
the Minimum Patch List option in the navigation bar. Scroll down the page and select
and download the latest support pack or patch file(s) for the operating system
running on your server.
There are two methods for installing the driver:
• Installation during the Novell operating system installation.
• Installation when Novell is already installed.
NOTE: If you are installing NetWare 5.x or 6.x for the first time, you need to install
the NIC driver during the operating system installation procedure.
Installation During Novell OS Installation
You may want to create an archive disk by copying all the files from the CD ROM
NetWare Server (nwserver) directory onto a floppy disk. If you choose to use the CD
directly, make sure that the CDROM.NLM file is loaded and that you are aware of the
NetWare Volume name for the CD that you just installed.
1 During the operating system installation, NetWare attempts to load the built-in driver
for the NIC. The following message appears: “The following driver instance failed to
load and will be deleted.” Select Yes to return to the summary screen.
2 Select the network field.
3 Press Insert to specify an unlisted NIC.
4 Press Enter if the drivers are contained on a floppy disk, or press F3 and enter a
different path.
5 Press Enter to select the NIC.
6 Select Modify Driver Properties to configure NIC options, or choose Return to Driver
Summary.
