Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a PCI
10Mbps Ethernet adapter. This adapter was
designed and manufactured to give you
years of trouble-free and reliable service.
PCI Ethernet Card
The PCI Ethernet adapter is high
performance adapter compatible with version
2.0 of the PCI local bus specification and
support Plug and Play (PnP) function,
making it fully auto-configuration.
The adapter supports full-duplex mode. Full
duplex mode can be used to obtain
throughput up to 20Mbps when the twistedpair port connecting through an Ethernet
switching hub. This feature not only
increases the channel bandwidth from
10Mbps to 20Mbps but also avoids the
performance-degrading problem due to the
characteristic of the Ethernet CSMA/CD
protocol.
The Ethernet adapter includes a complete
set of drivers for popular Network Operating
System. The optional BOOT ROM device
allows the diskless workstation to be
connected to the network.

Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the computer, unplug the
power cord and open the computer
case.
2. Pick a free PCI expansion slot and

Configuration
This Ethernet adapter is automatically
configured when you power-on computer. In
certain computer, however, you must modify
BIOS by entering CMOS SETUP utility to
enable “PCI Device” and map INTA to an
appropriate address. Please refer to the
system documentation for details on
configuration the PCI SYSTEM BIOS.
Driver Installation
Before you connect adapter to the network,
you have to install the network driver first.
The driver for each Networking Operating
System is under a separate directory. A
HELPME.EXE file under root directory lists
the information and detailed installation
procedure of all the available driver.
Boot ROM Installation
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to
connect a diskless workstation to the
network. Perform the following steps to
install your Boot ROM device:
1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on
the adapter.
2. Refer to the installation procedure
provided by Networking Operating
System.
