Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 32-bit PCI-Bus 10/100Mbps NWay ACPI Fast Ethernet Card. This card is auto-configurable upon power up and also supports auto-negotiation to automatically select the optimum speed and communication mode of an attached device. Additionally, the 32-bit PCI-Bus 10/100Mbps NWay ACPI Fast Ethernet Card complies with ACPI, and PC99, and includes support for Remote Wake-Up by Magic Packet™, LinkChg and Microsoft
About Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u. It extends the traditional 10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network facilities.
About Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of negotiating the highest data flow capability between the device (in this case, our Adapter) and their links partner (some other device). The data flow information, to be negotiated, consists of the data speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and data transfer (half-duplex or full-duplex communication). The physical process of auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds to choose the fastest communications capability between the two devices.

Remote LAN Wakeup
Remote LAN Wakeup capability is a key feature of a centrally managed PC environment. This technology allows networked PCs to be powered up and managed from a central location, at any time of the day or night. To employ Remote LAN Wakeup, three elements are required:
Desktop management software that can send a
“wake-up” packet to a PC.
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard that
can supply low-level auxiliary power to a network card when the PC is powered off.
A Wake-On-LAN network card that can
recognize a wake-up packet and signal the PC to power up.
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely powered off, it maintains a low-level auxiliary power supply to the motherboard. The 3-wire Wake-On-LAN cable (included with certain models only) provides one line for the network card auxiliary power and one line for the card wake-up signal, the other line is ground (if the motherboard complies with PCI 2.2, you don’t need to install the Wake-On-LAN cable). Even if the PC is powered off, network card still receives power to maintain the link status and monitoring the network. When a wake-up packet is received, the card signals the motherboard to power up the PC and maintenance and other support tasks can be performed.

Link Indicator
When this LED indicator lights amber, the adapter’s connection is 10Mbps. When this LED indicator
lights green, the adapter’s connection is 100Mbps.
Activity Indicator A flashing green LED indicates that the adapter is sending or receiving data.

Installation
The installation procedures for the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card including hardware installation, BIOS (on the motherboard) configuration, and driver installation.
Step 1, Hardware Installation
1. Power off the computer, unplug the power
cord, and remove the computer’s cover.
2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and
remove its protective bracket.
3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the
golden connectors are firmly seated inside the slot. Secure the card’s bracket on the PC’s chassis with a screw.
4. Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (optional, for
PCI 2.1 motherboard). If you require Wake-On-LAN capability, attach one end of the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the connector on the top edge of the card, and the other end to the “WOL” connector on the motherboard. Refer to your computer’s installation manual to locate this connector.
5. Replace the computer’s cover, connect the
network cable to the newly installed network card, and reconnect the computer’s power cord.

Step 2, BIOS Configuration
Some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs occasionally assign Interrupt Number which has been assigned to another device to the PCI Network Card. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause both devices not functioning properly. To resolve this issue, it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number to each PCI devices. Please consult the motherboard’s User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure BIOS settings.
Please do not attemp to change the BIOS settings unless you are familiar with the BIOS configuration.
Step 3, Driver Installation
The last step of the installation is to install the network driver. The driver for each networking operating system is under a separate directory. A HELPME.EXE file under root directory lists the information and detailed installation procedures for all the available drivers.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any problem with the adapter, first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, the network cable has the correct grade and is working, and the device the network card is connected to is functioning properly.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the PCI slot (please check this with the computer’s power off).
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables (CAT5 100 meter max.).
3. Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers normally provides the options to activate or deactivate the PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run DIAG.EXE diagnostic tests on the sofrware diskette at directory of \DIAG\.
Note: Please boot the computer to DOS buy using Windows startup disk or DOS disk and then run the DIAG.EXE. This DIAG program may not run properly in Windows DOS prompt.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI slot or a different PCI computer and run the test again.
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests again. If the
8
verification/diagnostic is not normal, then there is probably an interrupt number conflict which will have to be resolved manually by running CMOS Setup Utility after installing all of the expansion cards.
