Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a PCI 10Mbps Ethernet adapter. This adapter was designed and
manufactured to give you years of trouble-free and reliable service.
PCI Ethernet Card
The PCI Ethernet adapter is high performance adapter compatible with version 2.0 of the PCI
local bus specification and support Plug and Play (PnP) function, making it fully
auto-configuration.
The adapter supports full-duplex mode. Full duplex mode can be used to obtain throughput up to
20Mbps when the twisted-pair port connecting through an Ethernet switching hub. This feature not
only increases the channel bandwidth from 10Mbps to 20Mbps but also avoids the
performance-degrading problem due to the characteristic of the Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol.
The Ethernet adapter includes a complete set of drivers for popular Network Operating System.
The optional BOOT ROM device allows the diskless workstation to be connected to the network.

Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the computer, unplug the power cord and open the computer case.
2. Pick a free PCI expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. Insert the adapter into
the slot until it is fully seated. Secure the adapter.
3. Replace the computer cover and connect the network adapter. Reconnect the computer's power
cord and plug it into the power outlet.
Configuration
This Ethernet adapter is automatically configured when you power-on computer. In certain computer
, however, you must modify BIOS by entering CMOS SETUP utility to enable "PCI Device" and map
INTA to an appropriate address. Please refer to the system documentation for details on
configuration the PCI SYSTEM BIOS.
Driver Installation
Before you connect adapter to the network, you have to install the network driver first. 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 procedure of all the
available driver.
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:
1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the adapter.
2. Refer to the installation procedure provided by Networking Operating System.
