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

Fast Ethernet 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 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 35.
