Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the 32-bit PCI 10/100Mbps  
Fast Ethernet Adapter, this Adapter is  
auto-configurable upon power up and also supports  
auto-negotiation to automatically select the  
optimum speed and communication mode of an  
attached device. Additionally, the 32-bit PCI-Bus  
10/100Mbps NWay ACPI Fast Ethernet Adapter  
complies with ACPI, and PC99, and includes  
support for Remote Wake-Up by Magic Packet™,  
LinkChg and Microsoft®wake-up frame.  
About Fast Ethernet  
Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by  
IEEE Standard 802.3u. It extends the traditional  
10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps  
transmission and reception, while retaining the  
same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast  
Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network  
capacity, it is completely compatible with  
traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network facilities.  
About Auto-negotiation  
Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of  
negotiating the highest data flow capability between  
the device (in this case, the Adapter) and its link  
partner (some other device). The data flow  
information consists of the data speed (10Mbps or  
100Mbps) and data transfer (half-duplex or  
full-duplex communication). The physical process  
of auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds  
to choose the fastest communications capability  
between the two devices.

Remote LAN Wakeup  
Remote LAN Wakeup capability is a key feature of  
a
centrally managed PC environment. This  
technology allows networked PCs to be powered up  
and managed from a central location at any time. To  
utilize Remote LAN Wakeup, three elements are  
required:  
Desktop management software that can send a  
“wake-up” packet to the PC.  
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard that  
can supply low-level auxiliary power to a  
network Adapter when the PC is powered off.  
A Wake-On-LAN network Adapter that can  
recognize a wake-up packet and signal the PC to  
power up.  
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely  
powered off. It maintains a low-level auxiliary  
power supply to the motherboard. The 3-wire  
Wake-On-LAN cable provides one line for the  
network Adapter auxiliary power and one line for  
the Adapter wake-up signal, the other line is ground.  
(If you have a PCI 2.1 slot, then you do not need the  
Wake-On-LAN cable). Even if the PC is powered  
off, the network Adapter is always active and  
monitoring the network. When a wake-up packet is  
detected, the Adapter signals the motherboard to  
power up the PC. With the PC powered on,  
maintenance and other support tasks can be  
performed.

Installation  
Installation the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet  
Adapter requires Hardware installation first, then  
BIOS and Software installation.  
Step 1, Hardware Installation  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Switch off the computer, unplug the power  
cord, and remove the computer’s cover.  
Select an unused PCI slot and remove its  
protective bracket.  
Carefully insert the Adapter and press until all  
the edge connectors are firmly seated inside  
the slot. Then, screw the Adapter’s bracket  
securely into the PC’s chassis.  
4.  
Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (optional, for  
PCI 2.1 motherboard). If you require  
Wake-On-LAN capability, attach one end of  
the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the  
connector on the top edge of the Adapter, and  
the other end to the “WOL” connector on the  
computer’s motherboard. Refer to your  
computer’s installation manual to locate this  
connector.  
5.  
6.  
Install the bracket screw, which secures the  
Adapter to the computer’s chassis.  
Replace the computer’s cover and connect the  
network cable to the newly installed network  
Adapter. Reconnect the computer’s power  
cord and plug it into the power outlet.

Step 2, 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. In that case, it is  
necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and  
manually assign  
Number.

non-conflicting Interrupt  
Step 3, Driver Installation  
Before you connect the 10/100Mbps PCI bus  
Adapter to the network, you have to install the  
Adapter’s driver first. For most Windows operating  
systems, the driver is already included with the OS.  
The driver for each operating system is under a  
separate folder of the provided floppy disk. A  
HELPME.COM file under the root directory of the  
floppy disk lists the information and detailed  
installation procedure for all the available drivers.  
Please refer to the HELPME.COM file if you need  
assistance in installing the drivers.  
Step 4, Boot ROM Installation (optional)  
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to  
connect a diskless workstation to the network.  
Perform the following steps to install your Boot  
ROM device:  
7
 
1.  
2.  
Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the  
Adapter.  
Refer to the installation procedures provided  
by the network operating system.  
Troubleshooting  
If you experience any problems with the Adapter,  
first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that  
the proper grade of cable is employed for the  
network connection, and that the supporting hub is  
functioning properly.  
1. Verify that the Adapter is fully and firmly  
seated in the slot connector.  
2. Check the length and rating of the connecting  
cables.  
3. Verify that the Adapter's PCI slot is not  
deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS  
Setup utility of the computer ordinarily  
provides the option to activate or deactivate  
PCI slots.  
4. Replace the Adapter in question with a verified  
Adapter and run RSET8139.EXE diagnostic  
tests from the \DIAG\ folder of the floppy disk.  
5. Install the Adapter to another PCI computer  
and run the tests again.  
Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer  
and run the tests again. If the verification/diagnostic  
8
 
test is not normal, then there is probably an  
interrupt number conflict which will have to be  
resolved manually by the CMOS Setup utility after  
you have reinstalled all of the expansion Adapters.
