Chapter 1 Introduction
The ENW-9606 is a 10/100/1000Mbps 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus
Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system application requirements. The
bus-master architecture provides very high data throughput as it runs in the 32-bit PCI bus of the
server’s mainboard rather than waiting on the CPU.
The ENW-9606 supports both current motherboards (32-bit/33MHz PCI) and also the new PCI interface
(32-bit/66MHz) and operating systems of the next generation, future-proofing your investment. Lower
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and with increased performance, the ENW-9606 is now the choice of
your network data server or just right for your powerful desktop PCs.

2.1 Product Description
2.1.1 Overview
Equipped with a RJ-45 port, the ENW-9606 provides up to 2000 Mbps in Full-duplex bandwidth
capacity to high-end workstations. This adapter delivers the highest performance for demanding
applications, while providing a tremendous flexibility for the existing network infrastructures. In addition,
with advanced features like Wake-On-LAN management and Plug-and-Play support, users can not
only wake up and power on their workstations from anywhere on the network but also save tremendous
time on configuring their systems.
2.1.2 Features
Ø IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab Compliant
Ø Auto-Negotiation determines the transmission speed at 10/100/1000 Mbps and Full/Half duplex
mode
Ø Supports CSMA/CD protocol
Ø Supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X to swap the transmission and reception
Ø Integrated 128KB Frame Buffer Memory
Ø Programmable cache line size
Ø Supports WOL (Wake on LAN) function to power management support (through PCI 2.2 interface)
Ø Supports PCI V2.2, 32-bit, 33/66 MHz
Ø ACPI Power Management, compliant to ACPI 2.0
2.1.3 Front Panel And LEDs
The faceplate of ENW-9606 has 2 LEDs: Link, and Act. Figure 2-1 shows the faceplate of ENW-9606.

2.2 ENW-9606 Installation
Step 1: Turn off the PC.
Step 2: Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists.
Step 3: Remove the cover from your PC.
Step 4: Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering PCI slot and remove the corresponding back
plate. Save the screw for use in Step 6.
Step 5: Carefully insert the adapter into the chosen slot and press firmly with proper push to
ensure it is fully seated in the slot.
Step 6: Secure the adapter with the screw you saved in step 4.
Step 7: Replace the PC cover.
Step 8: Power on the PC and refer to next chapter to install the driver of this adapter.
Note: Please do not install the ENW-9606 in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any PCI slot next to an
ISA slot because this is often a shared slot and does not support bus mastering.

Chapter 3 Driver Installation
A device driver must be installed before your ENW-9606 can be used with your computer. This chapter
describes how to install the driver for various operating systems. Before you begin the driver installation
process, make sure you have the installation disks for your computer’s operation system nearby.
3.1 Installing Driver To Windows 2000
Make sure the ENW-9606 has been successfully installed in your computer before you start to install
the driver. If this is the first time you are installing the ENW-9606 into your computer, Window will
automatically detect it and updates the hardware information database. To install the driver provided,
follow these steps:
Note: The following installation operates under Window 2000. Procedures will be similar to
Window 98/Me. About Windows XP driver installation, please refer to next section.
1. Install ENW-9606 into your PC’s PCI slot.
2. Power on the PC and insert Driver Disk into CD-ROM drive.
3. Windows will automatically detect ENW-9606 and ask the user to install driver. Please click
“Next”.
4. Please select the first option and click “Next” to continue.
5. Select “Specify a location” and click “Next”.

6. You can click “Browse” to find the driver location. (Assume "E" is your CD-ROM drive, the
driver can be found in E:\Drivers\Win2000). Please click “OK” to continue.
7. Windows will show this screen to prompt you that it found a driver for the device you are
installing, please click “Next” to continue.
8. Please click “Finish” to complete the driver installation.
(For Win98/Me, Windows will ask you restart your PC when driver installation finished.)

3.2 Installing Driver To Windows XP
1. Install ENW-9606 into your PC’s PCI slot.
2. Power on the PC and insert Driver Disk into CD-ROM drive.
3. Windows XP will detect ENW-9606 and ask you to install driver. Please select the second
option and click “Next”.
4. Please select “Include this location in the search” and then click “Browse” to find out
ENW-9606 driver location to install driver. (Assume "E" is your CD-ROM drive, you can find
out ENW-9606 driver in E:\Drivers\WinXP). Please click “Next” to continue.
5. WinXP will show you this dialog box to prompt you the driver has not passed Windows logo
