Overview
PCI 10/100TX is a Fast Ethernet Board that fully complies
with all IEEE 802.3u, 10/100Base-TX standards. Three LED
indicators (LINK, ACT, FDX) on the bracket will help to
oversee the network link, board activity, and duplex status.

10/100TX PCI Bus Configuration
•
PCI 10/100TX is auto-configured by the system BIOS.
•
When installing multiple PCI 10/100TX boards at the
server station, you should correctly configure the IRQ
settings of the PCI slots. Up to four PCI 10/100TX can
be installed in a PCI file server running NetWare
system. Each PCI 10/100TX’s IRQ should not conflict
with other installed boards/devices.
4.
Full/Half Duplex Mode, 10/100Mbps
PCI 10/100TX supports full/half duplex mode and 10/100
Mbps operation. Operation in half or full duplex mode at
either 10 or 100 Mbps speed is set by Auto-Negotiation or
LAN driver options. By employing Auto-Negotiation
capability, the remote link devices’ working condition will be
auto-adjusted to the highest performance common
operating mode.
