Introduction
General Description
The 32-bit CardBus 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PC
Card is a credit-card sized Fast Ethernet adapter for
connecting a notebook to an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network,
IEEE 802.3u fast Ethernet and IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit
Ethernet network, it’s designed to work with notebooks or
handheld computers that with CardBus slots. Inside its
compact package, the 32-bit CardBus 10/100/1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet PC Card holds the Gigabit Ethernet
controller, network processing interface, RAM for the data
buffer a, 68-pin PC Card plug and RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet port. It requires no pre-installation setup -simply insert the PC Card into the computer's 32-bit
CardBus slot.
LED Indicators
1. Link/Activity (Link/ACT)
¾ This indicator lights green when the RJ-45 port is
connected to a Ethernet network, if the indicator
blinking green will be transmissing/received data
to/from the Ethernet network.
2. Link Speed Indicator
¾ The indicator lights green when the port is
connected to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Network
and the indicator lights amber when the port is
connected to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Network.
Otherwise, this indicator remains off when the port
is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet Network.

10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PC Card:
[1] Insert the 32-bit CardBus 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet PC Card
Find/select an available Type II or Type III 32-bit PC Card
slot on your notebook’s side or rear panel. Holding the 32-bit
CardBus 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PC Card with
the LED indicator facing up then insert to the 32-bit PC Card
slot. Slide the 32-bit CardBus 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet PC Card all the way into the 32-bit PC Card slot
until it reaches a firm stop.
[2] Connect to the Network Media
Simply plug one end of the cable (RJ-45 connector) into an
available hub/switch port, and plug the other end (RJ-45
connector) into the RJ-45 port of your 32-bit CardBus
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PC Card.
