2. Unpacking and Inspection

Caution:

Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it is highly recommended for you to reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card.

Open the shipping gift box and carefully remove all items. Please check the following items:

yOne EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter

yOne driver/manual CD

Note:

If any of the listed items are missing, please contact your distributor or reseller.

3. Installing the Adapter

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Remove the computer’s cover in accordance to its manual.

3.Insert the contact edge of the adapter card into the connector of any available PCI Bus master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector to PCI slot. Please make sure that the card’s contacts are fully seated in the PCI slot.

4.Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.

5.Replace the computer’s cover.

6.Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to the RJ-45 network connector.

7.Remove driver CD from the PC’s CD-ROM drive.

8.Turn on the computer.

9.If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-and-Play compliant, then at power up the BIOS will automatically configure any newly installed adapter.

Note:

Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs' problem, a newly installed adapter, may occasionally be assigned an interrupt number that is already used by another device adapter. In such case, the conflict of interrupt number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Therefore it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflict Interrupt Number.

4. Driver CD

The diver CD contains all the popular operating system drivers such as:

yWindows 98SE/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/Vista

yMAC OS 10.4x and up

yLinux

yNovell Netware 4.X/5.X/6.X
