Installing the Adapter
This adapter is equipped with a backplate that allows
installation of the Fast EtherLink 10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapter
in any standard PCI computer with ISA or EISA slots. The slot
can be a bus master slot or a non-bus master slot.
To install the adapter into the computer, follow these steps:
1 Unplug the computer and disconnect all cables that are
connected to the main system unit.
2 Remove all jewelry from your hands and wrists.
3 Use only insulated or nonconductive tools.
4 Remove the computer’s cover and select any of the
available PCI expansion slots.
5 Insert the adapter in the slot and secure the screw.
The PCI slots in some PCI computers need to be enabled
with a special setup program. Refer to your hardware
documentation to see if this is necessary.
Install the Fast EtherLink 10/100BASE-T4 PCI adapter only in a
PCI slot (see Figure 2-1).
