DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User's Guide Installing the DuraLAN NIC Before you begin, be sure you are installing the appropriate NIC for your particular OS(s). See System Requirements on page 1-3 for both hardware and software requirements. Warning: Before you start to install the Adaptec DuraLAN NIC, turn off power to the PC, and disconnect the power cord. To install the DuraLAN NIC, follow these steps: 1 Ground yourself by touching an unpainted surface of the PC case. 2 Remove the cover from your computer. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for help. 3 Locate an unused PCI expansion slot. For best performance, install the 64-bit DuraLAN NIC in a 64-bit PCI expansion slot (32-bit PCI expansion slots may also be used). Some noncompliant 32-bit PCI expansion slots do not support 64-bit NICs. This is because the slot's outside notch is not deep enough to allow the bus contacts to fit around the slot. If the 64-bit DuraLAN NIC does not fit in the slot, please return it to your place of purchase for a compatible board. 4 Unscrew the bracket screw and remove the expansion slot bracket cover. Note: PCI slots and NICs come in two varieties: 3.3-volt, and the more common 5-volt. All Adaptec PCI NICs support 5-volt and 3.3-volt slots. 5 Carefully remove the DuraLAN NIC from its antistatic container. 6 Verify the model name on the NIC. 7 Check the NIC for any visible signs of damage that may have occurred during shipment. If you find a problem, immediately notify your network supplier and the shipping service that delivered your NIC. 2-2

Installing the DuraLAN NIC
Before you begin, be sure you are installing the appropriate NIC
for your particular OS(s). See
System Requirements
on page 1-3
for
both hardware and software requirements.
Warning:
Before you start to install the Adaptec DuraLAN
NIC, turn off power to the PC, and disconnect the power
cord.
To install the DuraLAN NIC, follow these steps:
1
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted surface of the PC
case.
2
Remove the cover from your computer. Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation for help.
3
Locate an unused PCI expansion slot. For best performance,
install the 64-bit DuraLAN NIC in a 64-bit PCI expansion slot
(32-bit PCI expansion slots may also be used).
Some noncompliant 32-bit PCI expansion slots
do not
support
64-bit NICs. This is because the slot’s outside notch is not deep
enough to allow the bus contacts to fit around the slot. If the
64-bit DuraLAN NIC does not fit in the slot, please return it to
your place of purchase for a compatible board.
4
Unscrew the bracket screw and remove the expansion slot
bracket cover.

PCI slots and NICs come in two varieties: 3.3-volt, and
the more common 5-volt. All Adaptec PCI NICs support
