The network driver is contained on the diskette referred to as Intel 82S557/558, Fast Ethernet
Pro 100 / PCI . For instructions on the installation of the network driver, please refer to the
READ_NET.TXT (ASCII) or READ_NET.DOC (Word 6.0) file.
Once the proper Ethernet driver is installed, the onboard PnP BIOS and the driver
automatically allocate resources – I/O addresses, IRQ and DMA channels.
The communication link plugs into the J15 RJ-45 connector located
on the edge bracket.
10Mbps or 100Mbps network speed is automatically detected and
switched.
Link and Activity LEDs (respectively green and amber) are built on
the connector.
The 10Base-T uses UTP (Unshield Twisted Pair) cables, category 3,
4 or 5 (5 is better).
The 100Base-TX uses UTP cable category 5 that must comply with
the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard for two pairs.
