LH1350C Serial Fast Ethernet NICs

Installation

Description

The LH1350C module has a bootable ROM socket. 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.

LH1350C module installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding strap and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the LH1350C module. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage or failure of the LH1350C module.

To install the LH1350C module, do the following:

Important: Install the LH1350C module in a “master slot” only.

Figure 1: LEDs and Boot ROM Socket

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 LH1350C module into the “master slot,” aligning the module with the slot guides.

Install the LH1350C module -- continued

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.

LH1350C 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 LH350C slot.

PCI bus system and configuration

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

DO NOT install LH1350C in PCI slave slots. Please refer to your PC system manual and select the appropriate configuration settings.

When installing multiple LH1350C modules in a server station, you should correctly configure the IRQ settings of the PCI slot.

Up to four LH1350C modules can be installed in a PCI file server running NetWare operating system.

LH1350C server modules share the same INT line with the driver supporting multiple INT services at a time. The IRQ of each LH1350C module should not conflict with other boards.

Operation in full or half-duplex (default) 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.
