The following table describes the meaning of the LEDs:
LED MEANING
10/100M
Indicates the connection speed. When off, the connec-
tion speed is 10 Mbps. When on, the connection speed
is 100 Mbps.
LINK/ACT
Indicates link status and transmit/receive activity. It is
normally off. When off, indicates that the link is inactive.
When lit, indicates that the link is active. When there is
packet transmit or receive activity, this LED is blinking.
Ejecting the Ethernet card
After you have disconnected the RJ-45 connectors, you can eject
the Ethernet card from the notebook’s PC Card slot.
Note!
In Win 95/98/ME/2000 operating systems, you do not have
to power down the notebook to remove the card. The card
is hot-swappable—you can remove the card when the
notebook is powered on. However, Microsoft recom-
mends that you stop the card. Refer to your Windows
95/98/ME/2000 online help for information on stopping the
Ethernet card.
Most notebooks have an eject lever or button for ejecting PC cards
from the PC slots. Consult your notebook’s user’s manual for de-
tails.
Warning!
To prevent data loss, do not eject the Ethernet card when a
data transmission is taking place. Exit your communica-
tions program normally, stop the card if necessary, and
then remove the card.
