INSTALLATION Installation of a 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card requires Hardware installation first, then BIOS and Software installation. Hardware Installation 1. Trun OFF the computer, unplug its power cord and open the computer case. 2. Insert the contact edge of the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector and ascertain that the card contacts are fully seated in the connector. 3. For WOL model, connect the WOL cable to the NIC WOL connector, another end of WOL cable connect to the Motherboard. 4. Install the bracket screw, which secures the card to the cinouter chassis. 5. Replace the computer's case and connect the network cable to newly installed network card. Reconnect the computer's power cord and plug it into the power outlet. BIOS Configuration Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned to another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number. Please contact Motherboard manufacturer on how to manually assign the IRQ to the PCI slot. 7
