Step1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the
computer’s cover.
Step2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and remove its protective bracket.
Step3. Push the Adapter into the slot until the adapter is securely seated. Then
secure the adapter bracket with a screw.
Step4. Attached the Wake-On-LAN cable (Optional). If you require
Wake-On-LAN capability from a powered-off state, attach one end of
the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the connector on the top edge of the
card, and the other end to the “5 V Standby” connector on the
computer’s motherboard.
Step5. Connect the Adapter directly to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub or
switch using UTP cable (Category 3,4 or 5for 10BASE-TCategory 5
for 100BASE-TX). The maximum allowable length of UTP cable
connections is 100 meters (328ft). When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated.
Step6. Put back the computer cover and plug in the power cord.
Step7. Turn the power on. The computer's PCI BIOS automatically assigns
resources to the Adapter.
