Introduction
The 10/100 Based-Tx Fast Ethernet Adapter card is
a 32-bit 10/100Mbps Ethernet network interface
card for PCI local bus-compliant PCs. It supports
the PCI bus mastering architecture which allows
data to be transferred very fast with low CPU
utilization and auto-negotiation feature which
makes it possible to combine one common type of
Ethernet cabling-an RJ-45 connector for
twisted-pair cabling that can be used for both
10Mbps and 100Mbps connection. Extensive driver
support for commonly used network operation
systems is also provided.
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. Even if the PC
is powered off network card is always active and
monitoring the network. When a wake-up packet is
detected, the card signals the motherboard to
power up the PC. With the PC powered on,
maintenance and other support tasks can be
performed.
Product Features
Designed for versatility and performance, the
32-bit PCI bus 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter
provides the following features:
• Operates in a PCI Bus Master slot of a
Pentium/ Pentium-Pro/ Pentium-II computer,
independent of CPU speed.
• PCI Bus Master memory access, for high
throughput and low CPU demand.
• Compliant to PCI 2.1, 2.2 standards.
• Plug and Play installation.
• 100Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10Mbps Ethernet
data transfer, selected via auto-negotiation.
• Full-duplex or half-duplex operation, selected
by auto-negotiation.
• Built-in FIFO buffers reduce overhead of
memory transfers.
• Drivers for all leading Network Operating
Systems.
• Two LED indicators: Link, Activity.
• LINK Indicator
A steady green LED indicates good linkage
between the 32-bit PCI bus 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet Adapter and its supporting hub.
• ACTIVITY Indicator
A flashing green LED indicates that the
adapter is sending or receiving data.

Installation
Installation of a 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet
Card requires Hardware installation first, then
BIOS and Software installation.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the computer, unplug its power
cord and open the computer case.
2. Insert the contact edge of the 10/100Mbps PCI
bus Fast Ethernet Card into the connector of
any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot.
Press the card firmly into the connector and
ascertain that the card contacts are fully seated
in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw, which secures the
card to the cincture chassis.
4. Replace the computer’s case and connect the
network cable to newly installed network
card. Reconnect the computer’s power cord
and plug it into the power outlet.
Driver Installation
Before you connect the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Card
to the network, you have to install the network
driver first. The driver for each networking
operating system is under a separate directory. A
HELP.EXE file under root directory lists the
information and detailed installation procedure of
all the available drivers.
Boot ROM Installation
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to
connect a diskless workstation to the network.
Perform the following steps to install your Boot
ROM device:
Note: Install the optional remote boot ROM before
installing the card.
Note: Before handling the remote boot ROM chip,
discharge any static electricity on your body by
touching a grounding surface such as the chassis of
the PC.
1. Align the notch and pins of the ROM chip
with notch and pinholes on the socket. Insert
the Boot ROM into the socket on the adapter
until it is firmly seated.
2. Execute the SETUP.EXE file to enable the Boot
ROM function by selecting the appropriate
Boot ROM address from the setup menu.
3. Refer to the installation procedure provided
by Networking Operating System, Here lists
the reference subjects under two commonly
used Networking Operating Systems.
