Quick Installation Guide
• Check the BIOS Setup program’s PCI parameters for the
slot where the Cheetah PCI Adapter is installed. Be sure
the slot is configured for level-triggered interrupts instead
of edge-triggered interrupts. An example of typical PCI
parameters follows:
PCI Slot #: (slot number where the network card is installed)
Master: Enabled
Slave: Enabled
Latency Timer: 40 (range is 20 to 255)
Interrupt Type: Level-Triggered
Interrupt Number: (choose any number the BIOS Setup supplies
that does not conflict with another installed card)
Note: The wording of these parameters varies with different computers,
and not all parameters may be configurable.
Always consult your computer manual for information on
changing motherboard jumper settings and BIOS Setup
program parameters for use with PCI network cards. If you
set a motherboard jumper and modify the computer’s BIOS
Setup, make sure the jumper and BIOS settings match.
Adapter Installation Problems
If your computer can’t find the Cheetah PCI Adapter or the
network driver doesn’t install correctly, check the following:
• Make sure the adapter is securely seated in the PCI slot.
Check for any hardware problems, such as physical
damage to the card’s edge connector.
• Try the card in another PCI bus-master slot. If all fails, test
with another Cheetah PCI Adapter that is known to operate
correctly.
• Check for resource conflict in the PCI configuration. See
“PCI Compatibility.”
• Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS
available.
• If there are other network adapters in the computer, they
may be causing conflict. Remove all other adapters from
the computer and test the Accton adapter separately.
• Check for a defective computer or PCI bus by trying the
adapter in another computer that is known to operate
correctly.
Network Connection Problems
If the Link LED on the adapter’s bracket does not light, or if
you can’t access any network resources from the computer.
Check the following:
• Be sure you are using Category 5 cable for 100Mbps
connections, and that the length of any cable does not
exceed 100m (328ft.).
• Inspect all network cables and connections. Make sure
the cable is securely attached to the adapter’s connector.
