Hardware Installation

1. Power off the PCI Local bus PC and remove its cover.
Please refer to your computer's Installation Manual for instructions on how to
remove the cover.

2. Select an available slot and plug in the adapter.
The adapter provides a 32-bit bus interface. It plugs into any available PCI bus slot
that supports Bus Master mode. Remove the bracket on the slot you've selected,
then insert the adapter into the slot. Carefully push the adapter into the slot until all
the edge connectors are firmly in place. Screw the adapter's face plate onto the
opening in the back of the computer to secure the connection. Then replace the PC's
cover.

3. Connect your adapter to the network.
Connect the adapter to the network using twisted-pair cabling with an RJ-45
connector.

4. Power on the PC.

After hardware installation has been completed, power on the computer.

5. Change your computer's BIOS setup to enable Bus Master mode and select an

IRQ setting.
The setup procedure and the terminology used when referring to Bus Master
mode and IRQ parameters may vary with your computer's BIOS. Some BIOS have
Bus Master mode enabled for all the motherboard's PCI expansion slots, while
others provide the option to turn this feature on or off. Refer to your computer's
installation manual for more information. Please see the following section on
Adapter configuration for related information.

6. Install the software driver.
For related topics see the section on Software Drivers later in this chapter.
