Inserting the 3C359B NIC
Follow these steps to insert the 3C359B NIC:
1 Remove the computer’s cover and select a PCI
expansion slot that supports bus mastering.
You can install the 3C359B NIC in either a standard bus
master 32-bit slot, as shown in Figure 2 on page 26, or a
newer bus master 64-bit slot. If both slot types are available
in your PC, place the NIC in the 32-bit slot. Do not install
the NIC in a shared PCI slot.
Verify that the selected slot is a PCI bus master slot by
consulting your computer documentation, manufacturer,
or vendor. Avoid any PCI slot next to an ISA slot. This is
often a shared slot and does not support bus mastering.
