User guide

STANDARD & LOW-PROFILE FORMATS

 

The AT-2700FX and AT-2700FTX adapters are available

 

in both traditional and new low-profile PCI formats. The

new low-profile format uses a smaller 2.5" access slot, rather than the traditional 4.2" slot. Low-profile designs are being adopted by all the major PC manufacturers in order to offer smaller desktop systems with expansion capabilities equivalent to, or better than, previous- generation systems.

PERFORMANCE

Allied Telesyn PCI bus adapter cards are designed to get the maximum performance from your PC. By off-loading almost all of the Fast Ethernet networking functions to the adapter card, the CPU in a computer is free to run applications faster. The card also operates in both full and half-duplex modes, allowing the user to double the per- formance of the network.

STANDARDS BASED

The AT-2700 series of Fast Ethernet network adapter cards support Microsoft's latest standards, including ACPI, OnNow power management and DMI network management functions. AT-Setup, Allied Telesyn’s user- friendly installation utility, simplifies installation under Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP.
