HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Note:  For operation in Windows NT, install the network adapter after 
the Windows NT Operating System has been installed.

1. Power off the PC and remove its cover.  Turn off the computer and 
all peripherals.  Follow the instructions in your PC User's Guide to 
remove the cover.

2. Insert and secure the adapter.  Select any available PCI slot and 
remove the slot cover.  Carefully install the adapter into the 
expansion slot by firmly pressing the card into the slot until the 
adapter is snugly seated.  Fasten the retaining bracket with the 
screw from the slot cover.

3. Replace the PC cover.  Replace the computer's cover and reconnect 
any previously disconnected cables.

4. Repeat the above procedure to fit the network adapter into any 
other computers to be networked.

You are now ready to physically connect this computer to the hub 
using twisted pair cable (UTP).


CONNECTING TO THE 10/100MBS HUB

1. To connect the UTP cable to the hub, align the RJ-45 connector 
on one end of the twisted-pair cable with the notch on the network 
adapter's RJ-45 port and insert it into the port until it clicks 
into place.

2. Align the RJ-45 connector on the other end of the twisted-pair 
cable with the notch on one of the hub's RJ-45 ports and insert 
it until it clicks into place.

3. Repeat the procedure in steps 1 and 2 to connect the other PCs 
to the hub.

NOTE:  You cannot connect the nodes directly to each other 
through straight twisted-pair cable.

4. Plug the hub power adapter into an AC power source and then 
into the hub's power socket. 

Your network components are now connected.

NOTE:  There is no power switch on the hub.  Once the power 
adapter is connected, the hub is powered on.

Your network is now ready for software installation.
