Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications.  However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

The EZ Card 10/100

SMC’s EZ Card™ 10/100 network interface card is a dual-speed Fast Ethernet card for PCI local bus
compliant computers.  Designed to take advantage of the wider data path and increased data transfer
rate provided by the PCI bus, the EZ Card 10/100 delivers higher data throughput than comparable
ISA or EISA network cards.  A true plug and play device, this card is auto-configurable upon power
up and also supports Auto-Negotiation, which automatically detects the optimum speed and 
communication mode of an attached device and configures the card to operate accordingly.

Features and Benefits

Conforms to ANSI/IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards

Compatible with PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.1

PCI 32-bit Bus-Master architecture provides high data throughput

Single 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port for easy migration from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet

Auto-Negotiation for automatic selection of data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) and mode (half/full duplex)

Automatic configuration setup using the PCI computer’s BIOS setup program

Supports full-duplex operation for twice the effective bandwidth in a switched network

Supports early receive and transmit interrupt to boost data throughput

Supports optional boot ROM for remote system/network access

“At-a-glance” LED indicators for network traffic monitoring
