4. Cover the computer's chassis.
5. Switch computer power on. 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 the Gigabit
Ethernet Card.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens occasionally that a newly
installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned to another device.
In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both
devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-
conflicting Interrupt Number.
Connecting the Network Cable
Four pair of Cat.5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connector is required for the 32-bit PCI
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card. You can use standard or crossover cable to connect the
switch MDI-X or MDI-II port, because the 32-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card will
adjust the correct signal automatically.
Software Installation
Before you connect the 32-bit PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card to the network, you have
to install the network driver first. The driver for each networking operating system is under a separate
directory.
LED I

Two LED indicators: Link, Activity.
Link Indicator
This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Network.
Activity Indicator (ACT)
This indicator blinking green will be transmitting or received data on the network.
