Checklist

Before installing the NDM-FTX, verify that the package contains the following items:

•NDM-FTX Board

•LAN Driver CD

Please notify your sales representative if any item is missing or damaged.

Description

The NDM-FTX module has a bootable ROM socket (ROM chip sold separately). The two LED indicators, LINK/ACT and FDX located on the bracket, show network/board link, activities, collision, and full-duplex statuses. See Figure 1.

NDM-FTX module installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding strap and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the NDM-FTX module. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage or failure of the NDM-FTX module.

To install the NDM-FTX module, do the following:

Important: Install the NDM-FTX module in a “master slot” only.

1.Locate a master slot on the PC workstation or file server.

2.Remove the cover from the PC workstation or file server—keep all screws.

3.Remove and keep the screws holding the cover over the installation slot.

4.Carefully slide the NDM-FTX module into the “master slot,” aligning the module with the slot guides.

5.Ensure that the module is firmly seated in the slot.

6.Use the screws from step “3” to secure the module to the workstation or file server housing.

NDM-FTX PCI module configuration

For motherboards with automatic PCI configuration:

•No specific setup is needed.

•You can enter the system BIOS setup menu to view or specify the interrupt (INT) line of the PCI slots.

For motherboards with bus master and interrupt jumpers:

•Enable bus master operation in a selected PCI slot and select an INT request line (IRQ) level, using the appropriate motherboard jumper.

•Enable I/O on the NDM-FTX, PCI slot.

PCI bus system and configuration

•Ensure that the PCI machine supports master slots, INT multiple sharing and timing compatibility.

•DO NOT install NDM-FTX in PCI slave slots. Please refer to your PCI system manual and select the appropriate configuration settings.

•When installing multiple NDM-FTX boards in a server station, you should correctly configure the IRQ settings of the PCI slot.

•Up to four NDM-FTX modules can be installed in a PCI file server running NetWare operating system.

•NDM-FTX server modules share the same INT line with the driver supporting multiple INT services at a time. The IRQ of each NDM-FTX module should not conflict with other boards.

•Operation in full or half-duplex mode is configured by LAN driver options. The operating mode should match the working status of the remote link device.

•Use EMM386 version 4.49 or higher, and install both DOS and EMM386 from the same DOS package to avoid software problems.
