1. Introduction
Thanks for the purchasing of your new Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter. This document
describes the Installation of network adapter. This adapter supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX
and 1000BASE-T Ethernet copper interface. Moreover, the PCI interface on the Gigabit
Ethernet NIC complies with PCI Local Bus, is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus. As a bus master,
the NIC requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled.
1.1 Features
The Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter is a cost effective, high-performance network interface card.
It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes and integrates easily with
Fast Ethernet hub and Gigabit hub and switch.
y Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard
y Complies with IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standard
y Complies with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standard
y Complies with PCI specifications
y Supports 32 bit bus master for high throughput and low CP U utilization
y Supports both half and full duplex operation
y Supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensin g capability
y Supports Wa ke-On-LAN (depend on model and user’s motherboard function)
y Rich diagnostic LED mounted on bracket for easily viewing and troubleshooting (Link/Act
Green/Blinking Green).
y Plug and Play Installation.
y Network drivers on CD for Windows 98SE, NT4.0, 2000, XP, Vista, ME, Netware 4/5/6.X,
and Linux driver.
y FCC, CE class B certification
1.2 System Requirements
To use the adapter, you need the following components:
y One 32 or 64 bit PCI master mode expansion slot that is compliant with PCI bus
specifications
y One CD-ROM drive
y The following cables:
Port Type Media Max. Distance
10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP 100 meter
100BASE-TX Cat. 5 or 5e UTP 100 meter
1000BASE-T Cat. 5 or 5e UTP 100 meter
NOTE: 1000BASE-T signaling requires four twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as
specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for
additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95
2. 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 had better reduce the charge by
touching a ground before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping gift box and carefully remove all items. Please check the following items:
y One Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter
y One driver/manual CD
Note:
If any of the listed items are missing, please contact your distributor or reseller
3. Install the Adapter
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover, in accordance to 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 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 driver CD from the PC’s 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 some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs' problem, it happens occasionally that a newly
installed adapter is assigned an interrupt number that 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 .
4. Driver CD
The diver CD contains all the popular operating system drivers.
y Windows 98SE/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/Vista
y Linux
y Netware 4/5/6.X
