Introduction
This User's Guide is used for the 64/32-bit PCI
1000/100/10Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. It is
targeted at high performance adapter cards and
motherboards. It implements the PCI Rev. 2.1/2.2, 66/33
MHz, 64/32-bit PCI bus interface for host
communications with power management support.
Packet descriptors and data are transfered via busmastering, reducing the burden on the host CPU. It is a
Full-Duplex adapter connected to an Ethernet net- work
with a single connection over unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable or fiber cable connection. It can auto-sense
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps by full
auto-detection.
Features
*Compliant with PCI 2.1/2.2, 33/66MHz, 32bit/64bit
*Fully compliant with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3x
*Supports data rates from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps
*Embedded with 8K (Transmit) /64K (Receive) cache
buffer
*Supports wake-on-LAN and remote wake-up
* Fully compliant with Microsoft NDIS5 (IP, TCP, UDP)
Checksum and Segmentation Task-offload to lowering
CPU utilization
* Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging
*Auto-Negotiation supported for Auto-Detect
10/100/1000Mbps data rate and Full/Half-Duplex operation
mode
* Supports ACPI, PCI power management

Installation Procedures
Discharge any static electricity from your body before
handling the sensitive board of the card. Handle the card
by its edges, and be careful not to twist or flex it. Follow
the steps below to install the card:
‧Unpack the card package.
‧Switch off your computer's power.
Note: To prevent equipment damage and injury,
never apply the power when installing. Turn off any

damage to both the computer and the network interface
card.
Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect the
network interface card to a 10BASE-T or 100 BASE-TX
or 1000 BASE-X HUB (concentrator). Note that the
maximum cable length between a hub and any computer
is 100 meters (328 feet).
devices that you may attach to the computer.
‧Remove your computer's unit cover.
‧Locate a free PCI local bus master slot.
‧Remove the slot cover and screw.
‧Insert the card into the chosen and correct slot
carefully.
‧Put the computer's unit cover back.
Note: Make sure you have the correct wiring. To
reliably operate your network at 1000/100Mbps, you
must use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 5
or better Data Grade wire. While Category 3 or 4
wire may initially seem to work, it will soon cause
data loss. The higher speed needs higher quality wire.
