Chapter 3:
Hardware Installation
You will need a Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-bladed
screwdriver.
Take precautions against static discharge when unpacking and
installing the product. Static discharge can cause damage to
the product. Discharge your body and clothing by touching an
earthed object, e.g. the computer case, or perform the
installation at an ESD protected workbench.
In addition to this manual, the package should contain the
following:
•
The Trust Fast Ethernet Card 100MB card;
•
a driver disk.
Contact your dealer if any of the above are missing.
Your computer case will have to be opened before the Trust
Fast Ethernet Card 100MB can be installed. Make a note of
the position of the cables connection to the computer and
disconnect the cables. You can now open the computer case.
Caution!
Do not service your computer with the power switched on; to avoid
personal injury and damage to the equipment, make sure the power plug is
disconnected from the mains supply.
Locate a free PCI slot, remove the slot cover plate, insert the
Trust Fast Ethernet Card 100MB in the slot and secure the
card with the mounting screw. Most PCI slots have a white
connector. ISA type slots, which mostly use black connectors,
are unsuitable for the Trust Fast Ethernet Card 100MB.
Refer to the manual supplied with your computer if you are in
any way uncertain about how to install expansion cards.
Tip
In many computers the VGA card controlling the VDU also
occupies a PCI slot. If you are running Windows 95, do not
move this card to a different PCI slot, as this will require
reinstallation of the Windows 95 drivers, causing any custom
settings you have made for your display to be lost.
Replace the PC case and reconnect all the cables.
