Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Card, Connecting the Network Cable

Page 10 highlights

Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Card 1. Shut down the computer, unplugs its power cord, and remove the chassis cover. 2. Insert the contact edge of the Gigabit Ethernet card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card's contacts are fully seated in the connector. 3. Install the bracket screw and secure the card to the computer chassis. 4. Replace the computer's chassis cover. 5. Reconnect the computer's power cord, and switch computer power on. If the BIOS section of your computer's boot program is Plugand-Play compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will automatically configure any newly installed the Gigabit Ethernet Card. NOTE: 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. Install the adapter in a different slot or run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a nonconflicting Interrupt Number (see Motherboard Manual for more information). Connecting the Network Cable Four pair of Cat.5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connector is required for the 64-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet Card. You can use standard or crossover cable to connect the switch's MDIX or MDI-II port, because the 64-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet Card will adjust the correct medium configuration automatically. 6

Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Card
1. Shut down the computer, unplugs its power cord, and remove the
chassis cover.
2. Insert the contact edge of the Gigabit Ethernet card into the
connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press
the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are
fully seated in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw and secure the card to the computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch computer power
on. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-
and-Play compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will automatically
configure any newly installed the Gigabit Ethernet Card.
NOTE:
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. Install the adapter in
a different slot or run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-
conflicting Interrupt Number (see Motherboard Manual for more information).
Connecting the Network Cable
Four pair of Cat.5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connector is required
for the 64-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet Card.
You can use standard or crossover cable to connect the switch’s MDI-
X or MDI-II port, because the 64-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps NWay
Gigabit Ethernet Card will adjust the correct medium configuration
automatically.
