Page 8: Chapter Introduction
SMC’s EZ Card 10 PCI family consists of three 32-bit Ethernet network interface cards for PCI computers: a twisted-pair card with an RJ-45 connector and two combo models. One of the combo models has two connectors: RJ-45 and BNC. The other combo model has three connectors: RJ-45, BNC and AUI. -
Page 9: Hardware Description
NTRODUCTION Hardware Description The SMC EZ Card 10 PCI model shown below has two LED indicators and supports three types of network connections. Your model may support only one or two network connections. Figure 1-1. EZ Card 10 PCI Combo Model (SMC1208BTA) LAN Connectors The EZ Card 10 PCI models support IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T,... -
Page 10: Led Indicators
Function: When lit, this LED indicates an active connection between the network card and a 10BASE-T hub or switch. Note: The Link Status LED does not monitor the condition of the BNC and AUI connections. When the card is con- figured for these connections, this LED is always lit. -
Page 11: Activity Status (Act)
NTRODUCTION Activity Status (ACT) Color: Function: This LED is unlit upon power on. It lights up to indicate the presence of network activity on the port. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of network traffic. Green Network activity indicator... -
Page 12: Installing The Card
NSTALLING THE The procedure for installing the EZ Card 10 PCI models appears below. Although instructions for installing the software drivers are not included here, some related information is provided. 1. Power off your PC and remove its cover. Please refer to your computer's Installation Manual for instructions on how to remove the cover. - Page 13 NSTALLING THE 4. Power on the PC. Hardware installation has been completed. Switch on power to the PC. Note: Your network should be configured automatically by the PCI computer’s BIOS Setup Program. However, some manual configuration may be required in older PCI machines.

Page 19: Configuration And Diagnostics
PPENDIX ONFIGURATION IAGNOSTICS The driver diskette contains the Setup program (SETUP.EXE). This program allows you to: • View the current configuration of the card • Set up a new configuration • Run diagnostics These tasks are described in this chapter. -
Page 20: Running The Setup Program
ONFIGURATION AND Running the Setup Program Insert the driver diskette in your floppy drive. The SETUP pro- gram is in the \SETUP subdirectory on this diskette. Change to the appropriate subdirectory location, type the following com- mand and press <Enter>: A:\SETUP>SETUP This will initiate the menu-driven SETUP program and display the Main Menu as shown below:... -
Page 21: Viewing The Current Configuration
ONFIGURATION AND IAGNOSTICS Viewing the Current Configuration Select this option to view the current settings for your network card, as shown below. If you need to modify the current configuration, return to the Main Menu and select “Set Up New Configuration.” Figure C-2. -
Page 22: Setting Up A New Configuration
ONFIGURATION AND Setting Up a New Configuration If your computer complies with PCI BIOS standards, the system will automatically allocate the necessary I/O, IRQ and boot ROM address resources to the card. Although the SETUP program will not allow you to change the resources which are allocated by the PCI BIOS, it will allow you to change the following settings to suit your requirements: •... -
Page 23: Media Type
Media Type The transceiver setting should agree with the network cabling type. The program provides two choices: • Auto detection • 10BASE5 (AUI) With the first choice, the card automatically detects the connec- tor in use — either RJ-45 or BNC. The second choice enables the AUI connector. -
Page 24: Running The Diagnostics
ONFIGURATION AND Running the Diagnostics To test the card's components and installation, the SETUP pro- gram runs three different tests on the card and corresponding cabling system as listed below: • EEPROM Test • Diagnostics on Board • Diagnostics on Network Note: Run the diagnostics before the network driver is loaded into the system. -
Page 25: Testing The Network Connection
ONFIGURATION AND IAGNOSTICS This test actually performs five separate tests: • Configuration Test — checks the initial status of the Ethernet controller • I/O Registers Test — checks I/O accessibility • Internal Loop Back Test — checks the card's controller •... -

IRQ permanently to the card. • Edge/Auto — Some PCI cards support this option. Do not use it with SMC’s EZ Card 10 PCI models. Notes: These PCI cards can only function with the EMM386.exe memory manager program, version 4.49 or later. You can verify the version number by entering “EMM386”... - Page 27 automatically insert the HIGHSCAN flag into the EMM386 command line. This parameter cannot be manually removed once it is installed; doing so will cause the extended memory manager to malfunction.
