INSTALLATION

4.Attach the Wake-On-LAN cable (optional). If you require Wake-On-LAN capability from a powered-off state, attach one end of the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the connector on the top edge of the card, and the other end to the “5 V Standby” connector on the computer’s motherboard. Refer to your computer’s installation manual to locate this connector.

5.Connect the Barricade PCI card directly to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub or switch using UTP cable (Category 3, 4, or 5 for 10BASE-T; Category 5 for 100BASE-TX). The maximum allowable length of UTP cable connections is

100 meters (328 ft). When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

6.Replace the computer’s cover and power it on. The Barricade PCI card should be automatically configured by the host computer’s BIOS. However, if you have an older computer, you may have to manually configure the computer’s BIOS settings. See “Troubleshooting” on page 36.
