Preparing the Board
Your EtherWORKS Turbo PCI board provides auto media selection
with software media configuration features for 10Base-T twisted-pair
networks and 10Base2 ThinWire networks.
If you intend to use a 10Base-T twisted-pair network, no board
preparation is needed—the AUI jumper has no effect. Proceed to the
Installing the Board section of this chapter.
When not using a 10Base-T twisted-pair interface, the AUI jumper
(
!
, Figure 2–1) on the EtherWORKS Turbo PCI board determines
which media interface, 10Base2 ThinWire or AUI, is used. The
default AUI jumper setting is for a ThinWire network.
If you intend to use an AUI network, change the AUI jumper setting
before you install the board in your computer. Table 2–1 provides
instructions for setting the AUI jumper; Figure 2–1 shows the AUI
jumper settings.
