Insert the Remote Wake-Up cable in the RWU connector
on the NIC.
Twist the cable two times before attaching the cable to
the computer.
c
Attach the other end of the cable to the connector on
the computer motherboard. Refer to the computer
documentation if you need help locating the connector.
3 Replace the computer cover and plug in the power
cord.
Do not turn on the power to the computer.
4 Plug the RJ-45 connector on the twisted-pair network
cable into the RJ-45 port on the NIC backplate.
5 Connect the other end of the network cable to an
active network port.
The next step is to install the software.
If your site network installation procedures require you
to verify that installed hardware is functional before you
install software, run the 3C90XCFG.EXE DOS diagnostics
program before installing the driver. This program is
located on the 3Com EtherLink Server CD.
