3 Push the adapter in the slot until it’s seated firmly. Then, secure the

adapter bracket with a screw.

4 See page 12 for specific instructions on installing multiple adapters. 5 Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord.

Connect the Network Cable

1 Examine the three diagrams on this page. Connect a single network cable

to the PRO/10+ PCI adapter as shown in one of the diagrams in the chart

below. Note that your adapter may have a single TPE connector, or all

three types shown here. Read the notes for the type of connector you use. 2 To configure the adapter, continue with the procedures specific to your

operating system on pages 4 through 11.

10BASE-T Wiring

Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). Use Category 3, 4, or 5 cable and RJ-45 connector for this adapter.

10BASE2 Wiring

10BASE5 Wiring

Thin Ethernet (BNC). Use a Tconnector attached to an RG-58 cable as sh own. Turn barrel clockwise to secure. Do not remove the attached cables from the T-connector if the network is running. If your connection is the last one on the network, attach a 50 ohm termination plug to one side of the T-connector.

Attachment Unit Interface (AUI). Use a DB-15 Ethernet

connector. Secure the connector to the adapter with screws or a clip.

DOS and Windows 3.1 Setup for NetWare Clients

Important Note:

Windows 95 users and Windows NT users do not need to run Setup. Skip the procedure on this page and go directly to page 6 for Windows 95 or page 9 for Windows NT.

Automatic configuration

PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters while booting. The PRO/10+ PCI adapter IRQ level and I/O address are automatically set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.

Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Configuration is complete when the DOS prompt appears. You can now continue with the optional procedure below.

If your computer displays an error while booting, your PCI computer may require additional steps to configure a PCI adapter. See the PCI installation tips section on page 18 for more information if you get an err or.

Test the adapter and install network drivers

Although not required for operation, it’s a good idea to run diagnostic tests every time you install an adapter. Intel’s Setup program lets you test the adapter to see if there are any problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network connection.

In addition, Setup can automatically install NetWare client drivers for you or display a README file with installation instructions for other NOS drivers.

1 If your computer already has network drivers installed, restart the

computer without loading them. If the drivers are loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add REM in front of each line that loads a driver. Or, with DOS 6.x or later press 5 at boot time to bypass the lines.

2 Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in a floppy drive, switch

to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type SETUP E

3 If you have more than one Intel PRO series PCI adapter in your

computer, an adapter selection menu appears on the screen. Select the adapter you want by noting the Ethernet address. See page 12 for more information on multiple adapters.

4 Select Automatic setup from the Main menu. Then follow the

instructions on the screen. (If you want to test the adapter with a

responder on the network, see the procedure on the next page before

continuing.)

Setup displays the adapter’s configuration, then runs a series of

diagnostic tests that makes sure the adapter and network are functioning

properly. If Setup finds a problem, it displays the results and some

possible solutions.

5 When Setup finishes the tests, the Install network drivers screen appears. 6 Select the driver you want to install.

Setup can install a NetWare client driver for you. If you’re installing

other drivers, Setup displays a README file with installation

instructions.

To test the adapter with a responder on the network

Setup can test the adapter more thoroughly if you have a responder on the network while running the tests.

1 Go to a computer on the network with any EtherExpress adapter installed

(except EtherExpress 32 or EtherExpress 16 MCA). 2 Run the appropriate configuration program (SETUP, SOFTSET2,

E100DIAG, or FL32DIAG) for that adapter and set up the adapter as a

responder. 3 Return to the computer with the new adapter. Run Setup and test the

adapter.

Troubleshooting

If you can’t connect to a server or you get an error while trying to connect, try the suggestions here first then turn to page 15.

• Make sure you’re using the drivers that come with this adapter. The

driver filename contains the letter B (for example, E100BODI.COM).

• If you’re replacing an existing adapter, make sure the LINK statements

in your NET.CFG are correct for the new adapter. For example, the link

statement for a NetWare client should be:

LINK DRIVER E100BODI

• Verify FRAME type in your NET.CFG file matches your server.

• If setting up a server, check your LOAD and BIND statements.

• Make sure the PCI slots are busmaster-enabled (see page 18).

• Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the

adapter. See page 12 for more information on full duplex.

• Make sure the network cable is securely attached to both the adapter and

hub port and the adapter LNK light is on (TPE only).

• Test the adapter (see page 4).

• Check the README files (see page 1 for instructions).

Readme

Files

Look through the selection called “Installing EtherExpress PRO/10+ PCI Adapter Drivers” for the operating system you need.

To view the README files, insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk into a drive, switch to that drive, and type:

SETUP /README E

Installing Multiple Adapters

All users: The adapter’s 12-digit, hexadecimal Ethernet addr ess is on a sticker near the edge of the adapter. The Ethernet address is sometimes called the node address or the MAC address. Note that the PCI slot number may not correspond with the physical connector in your computer.

NetWare users: The server driver s use the PCI slot number to identify each installed adapter. You can correla te the PCI slot number to the adapter by using the Ethernet address that is printed on a label on the adapter. Run Setup from the Intel disk to view the Ethernet address and slot number for each installed adapter. For more information, see the README files. NetWar e 4.11 server installations use unique slot numbers that are assigned during sever setup.

Windows NT and Windows 95 users: Repeat the configur ation procedure for each adapter you want to install (add only one adapter at a time). While PROSet can detect all the PRO/10+ PCI adapters in your computer, you still need to perform the configuration process on each adapter. In Windows NT, be sure to click the Show all PRO Adapters box in the Configuration window. See the README file for more information.

Select Duplex Mode (optional)

Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives data p ackets over the network. There are tw o duplex modes available when using the TPE connector:

• Full duplex (requires a full duplex switching hub). The adapter sends

and receives packets at the same time, increasing adapter performance capability.

• Half duplex. The adapter performs one operation at a time; it either

sends or receives. Half duplex is the adapter default mode.

Configuring for Full Duplex

You need to manually configure the PRO/10+ PCI adapter f or full duplex support. Configuration is specific to the driver you’re loading for your network operating system (NOS), as shown in the following sections. Check the README files for your operating system. Most of these contain examples of how to modify configuration files (if necessary).

To set up the duplex mode, refer to the section below that cor responds to your operating system.

NOTE:

Adapter performance may suffer or your adapter may not operate if your hub does not support full duplex and you configure the adapter to full duplex. Leave the adapter on half duplex if you are not sure what type of hub you are connected to.

If the adapter can’t connect to the network

• Make sure the cable is installed properly

The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable. If using thin Ethernet, make sure BNC segments are properly terminated (see page 3).

If you’re directly connecting two computers (no hub), use a crossover cable. Some hubs may also require a crossover cable (see your hub documentation).

See the Cabling README file for more infor mation on crossover cables.

• Check the LED lights on the adapter

The EtherExpress PRO/10+ PCI adapter has two diagnostic LEDs above the cable connectors. These lights help indicate if there’s a problem with the connector, cable, or hub.

Link LED. See table on page 16 for indications.

• Make sure you’re using the correct drivers

Make sure you’re using the drivers that come with this adapter. The driver filename contains the letter B (for example, E100B.DOS). Drivers with E10P support previous versions of the EtherExpress PRO/10 PCI adapter and do not support this version of the adapter.

• Make sure the hub port and the adapter have the same duplex setting

If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the hub port is also configured for full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance or result in lost connections.

• Test the adapter

Test the adapter by running Intel diagnostics. For DOS or Windows 3.1 computers, run Setup on the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk. For Windows NT and Windows 95 run Intel PROSet by double-clicking the Intel PROSet Icon in the Control Panel. Click Help from the main PROSet window to g et complete diagnostics information and instructions.

Common problems and solutions

SETUP.EXE reports the adapter is “Not enabled by BIOS.”

• The PCI BIOS isn’t configur ing the adapter correctly. Try the PCI

installation tips on page 18.

The computer hangs when the drivers are loaded.

• Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. See the next page for PCI

installation tips.

• If you are using EMM386, it must be version 4.49 or newer (this version

ships with MS-DOS 6.22).

• Be sure you’re using the latest drivers. Check Intel’s web site for driver

updates to the disk.

Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails.

• Make sure the network cable is securely attached.

• Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.

• Make sure the duplex mode setting on the adapter matches the setting on

the hub.

The LNK LED doesn’t light.

• Make sure you’ve loaded the network drivers.

• Check all connections at the adapter and the hub.

• Try another port on the hub.

• Make sure the duplex mode setting on the adapter matches the setting on

the hub.

• Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the

hub. Some hubs require a crossove r cable while others require a straightthrough cable. See the Cabling README file for m ore information on cabling.

The ACT LED doesn’t light.

• Make sure you’ve loaded the correct network drivers.

• Network may be idle. Try accessing a server.

• The adapter isn’t transmitting or receiving data. Try another adapter.

The adapter stopped working when another adapter was added to the computer.

• Make sure the cable is connected to the PRO/10+ PCI adapter.

• Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. See page 18 for PCI installa tion

tips.

• Make sure the other adapter supports shared inter rupts. Also, make sure

your operating system supports shared interrupts — OS/2* doesn’t.

• Try reseating the newest adapter.

The adapter stopped working without apparent cause.

• Try reseating the adapter first, then try a different slot if necessar y.

• The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then

reinstall the drivers.

• Try a different PRO/10+ PCI adapter.

• Run the diagnostics.

• Check the ‘Top Problems’ document on the world wide w eb. (See the

inside back cover.)

Technical information

PCI installation tips

PCI computers are designed to automatically configure add-in cards each time the computer starts. Your PCI computer sets the I/O address and IRQ level for your Intel network adapter when the computer starts. These values cannot be changed by Intel adapter software. If you experience a problem when the computer starts, additional configuration steps may be required.

On these computers, manual configuration is possible through the computer’s PCI BIOS setup utility. Refer to your computer’s documentation. You may need to verify or change some BIOS settings.

Some common PCI solutions are listed here.

• Busmaster enabled slots. On some computers, all slots are not

busmaster enabled by default. Check your BIOS PCI bus setting. It will set to either Busmaster or Non-busmastered. Choose Busmaster.

• Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses for ISA

adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings ISA cards are using. Check your PCI BIOS setup program. There may be IRQ options such as ‘Enable for ISA,’ ‘Reserve for ISA,’ or ‘Disable for PCI.’ This option is sometimes in the Plug and Play area of the BIOS setup.

• Enable the PCI slot. In some PCI computers, you must use the PCI

BIOS setup program to enable the PCI slot. This is especially common in PCI computers with the Phoenix BIOS.

• Update your PCI BIOS. An upda ted PCI system BIOS can correct some

PCI configuration problems. Call your computer manufacturer to see if an updated BIOS version is available for your computer. Phone numbers for the top PCI computer manufacturers are listed in the PCI Installation README file on the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk.

• Configure the slot for level-triggered interrupts. The slot the adapter

is using must be configured for level-triggered interrupts rather than edge-triggered interrupts. Check your PCI BIOS Setup program.

Here are some example PCI BIOS setup program parameters:

PCI slot #: Master: ENABLED Slave: ENABLED Latency timer: 40 Interrupt: Edge-level: Level

The exact wording of these parameters varies with differ ent computers .
