Version 1.2

1. Introduction

Thank you! for purchasing the Compex RL1000T Card. Compex RL1000T is a flexible 10/100/1000Base-T 32-bit network Ethernet adapter that supports N-Way Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX on RJ-45 to auto-detect straight or crossover cable. Compex RL1000T also supports TCP/IP and UDP Check-sum generation/ checking. RL1000T operates in full duplex mode that transmits and receives data simultaneously, thus doubling the network throughput. Besides, its Wake-On-LAN support allows the remote powering-up of the PC through the RL1000T.

2. System Requirements

3. Card Installation

Before installing the network adapter, ensure that the computer is turned off. Use only insulated or nonconductive tools to prevent damaging your equipment. (The adapter is packed in an anti-static bag for protection. Before removing it from the bag, you can avoid damaging any static-sensitive components on the adapter by touching the metal chassis of your computer. Handle the adapter only by its edges.)

1.Power off your computer. Unplug the power cable and detach all other cables from the computer.

2.Remove your computer cover.

3.Find an empty PCI expansion slot (32bit) and remove the corresponding slot cover. Keep the bracket screw. You will need it later to secure Compex RL1000T.

4.Insert Compex RL1000T into the PCI slot, pressing firmly with steady pressure until it is seated properly.

5.Fasten Compex RL1000T with the bracket screw that you had removed earlier.

6.Replace the computer cover and power on the computer.
