Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch
computer power on. If the BIOS section of your

then at power-up the BIOS will automatically configure
any newly installed Server Card adapter.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it

another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt
Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices.
Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and
manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number.
Connect the Network Cable
Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both, the Fast Ethernet
and Ethernet, cabling rules. The maximum length of any
single cable run between any station and its supporting hub
is 100 meters. The maximum length of a cable joining two
switches is 10m in general, but is 100m when both switches
qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet
switches do qualify). However, these cable runs may need
to be shorter than the given individual maximum lengths,
because their lengths are globally restricted by the rule that
