Limited Warranty

Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion, repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.

The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC web site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of time during which the product is an ‘Active’ SMC product. A product is considered to be ‘Active’ while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete product is discontinued and is no longer an ‘Active’ SMC product.

All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may be either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day limited warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not responsible for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant to any warranty.

Hardware Description

SMC’s EZ Card 1000, SMC9452TX-1, is a Gigabit Ethernet network interface card for 32-bit PCI local buscompliant computers. It operates under the 1000BASE-T specification over Category 5 UTP Cable, as well as being compatible with 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T connections. This network card provides up to ten times the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet, and can deliver a full 2 Gbps of throughput to the host PC. A true plug-and-play device, the card is auto-configurable upon power up. Leading-edge ASIC technology and performanceenhancing techniques maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization. It also supports full- and half-duplex and features auto-negotiation.

• 1 RJ-45 connector for 10/100/1000 Mbps connections

• 1 Socket for Optional Boot ROM

• 2 LED Indicators – Link/ACT, FD (Full Duplex)

Package Contents

After unpacking the EZ Card 1000, check the contents of the box to be sure you have received the following components:

• EZ Card 1000 network card SMC9452TX-1

• Quick Install Guide

• Driver & Documentation CD containing this User Guide and Drivers

• SMC Warranty Registration Card

Immediately inform your dealer in the event of any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, please retain the carton and original packing materials in case there is a need to return the product. Please fill out and return the Warranty Registration Card to SMC or you may register the product on SMC’s Web site. The EZ Card 1000 is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

System Requirements

Before you install the EZ Card 1000, check your system for the following requirements:

• A PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later

• An available 32-bit PCI slot

• Category 5 or 5e UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors

• An IEEE 802.3ab-compliant Gigabit Ethernet device installed in your network

Note: If you are installing in an older PC model (Pentium or earlier), upgrade the BIOS to the latest version.

Hardware Installation

WARNINGS:

• This network adapter requires a PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification

v2.0 or later. If you are installing in an older PC model, upgrade the BIOS to the latest version.

• Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid touching its

electrical components and always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card.

1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the computer’s cover.

2. Select an available PCI slot and remove the cover bracket.

- When using a 32-bit PCI slot, the end of the card’s edge connector will be exposed. Be

careful that it does not touch any conducting parts on the PC motherboard.

3. Install the network card into the slot so that it is firmly seated. Then screw the card’s bracket

securely into the PC’s chassis.

4. Replace the chassis cover and power up your PC.

5. The EZ Card 1000 should be automatically configured by the host computer’s BIOS. However,

if you have an older computer, you may have to manually configure the computer’s BIOS settings (see “Troubleshooting”).

6. The Driver & Documentation CD that accompanies the EZ Card 1000 contains all the network

operating system drivers supported by this card. Please read the “RELEASE.TXT” file on the CD for a list of all drivers. Refer to following sections on this manual for instructions on installing drivers. Any new or updated drivers can be downloaded from SMC’s Web site (WWW.SMC.COM).

PCI Configuration

In most cases, your network card is automatically configured when you power-up your computer. In certain computers, however, you must modify PCI settings by running your computer’s BIOS Setup program. For more information, refer to “PCI Compatibility” section of this manual.

Connecting Category 5 Cable

To connect to a 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet device, use the RJ-45 connector on the network card and Category 5, 5e or better UTP cable. This connection can be made directly to the device, or indirectly via a wall outlet that has the proper wiring for an RJ-45 connector. Connections can be made for a distance of 100m (328 ft). It is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used.

Connecting UTP Cable

1. Attach the male RJ-45 connector on one end of a UTP cable to the network card’s RJ-45 port.

2. Attach the male connector on the other end of the UTP cable directly to an Ethernet, Fast

Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet device. OR, attach the male connector on the other end of the UTP cable to a wall outlet with an RJ-45 connector properly wired for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. Wiring from the wall outlet connection is usually routed to a hub or switch through a punch-down block located in a wiring closet.

3. For 1000 Mbps operation, make certain that the device you are connecting to is compliant

with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T.

Driver Installation

Windows 95/98

NOTE: Installation processes will require the use of your original, licensed copy of Windows. Please have your Windows CD available BEFORE proceeding with the installation.

Step 1: After you have inserted the EZ Card 10/100/1000 SMC9452TX-1 PCI Card in your machine, the Operating System will automatically recognize the adapter and prompt you for the appropriate drivers. Click the [Next >] button to begin the installation.

Step 2: Insert the Driver CD and select the [Search for the best driver for your device] option and click [Next >]. In Windows 95, you may be immediately asked to enter the path of the driver location. Type ?:\SMC9452\WIN95. (Note: The "?" equals the letter of your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this is D.)
