INSTALLATION
Installation of a 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast
Ethernet Card requires Hardware installation first,
then BIOS and Software installation.
Hardware Installation
1. Trun OFF the computer, unplug its power
cord and open the computer case.
2. Insert the contact edge of the 10/100Mbps
PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card into the
connector of any available PCI Bus Master
expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the
connector and ascertain that the card
contacts are fully seated in the connector.
3.
For WOL model, connect the WOL cable to
the NIC WOL connector, another end of
WOL cable connect to the Motherboard.
4. Install the bracket screw, which secures the
card to the cinouter chassis.
5.
Replace the computer’s case and connect the
network cable to newly installed network
card. Reconnect the computer’s power cord
and plug it into the power outlet.
BIOS Configuration
Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS
programs, it happens occasionally that a newly
installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number
which is already assigned to 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. Please contact Motherboard
manufacturer on how to manually assign the IRQ
to the PCI slot.
