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, this card can put either in 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot, but it is recommended that the card to put in the PCI slot supported 66Mhz to have the maximum performance. 3. Install the bracket screw and secure the card to the computer chassis. 4. Cover the computer's chassis. 5. 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. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number. Connecting the Network Cable Four pair of Cat.5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connector is required for the 32-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card. You can use standard or crossover cable to connect the switch MDI-X or MDI-II port, because the 32bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card will adjust the correct signal automatically. Software Installation Before you connect the 32-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card to the network, you have to install the network driver first. The driver for each networking operating system is under a separate directory. A HELPME.COM file under root directory lists the information and detailed installation procedure of all the available drivers. 5 6
