3 If there is an existing network card which will no longer be used,

remove it from your computer.

If the old
network card
sticks, cradle the
adapter gently
from end
to end.
Remember to
save the screw.

4 Align your card with an empty expansion slot (ISA or PCI, as

determined by your card's golden pin bus connector and gently insert
the card into place so that the card's contacts are fully seated in the
connector. You may need to remove the cover from the rear of the
expansion slot that you selected.

Grasp the card
by the top edge
and carefully
seat it firmly
into the
corresponding
expansion slot.

5 Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the

computer cover.

Be sure to
connect the
Wake-On-Lan
cable to both the
card and motherboard
before replacing the
cover if using C110w.

6 Plug the network cable to your card (for instructions see page 7 for

thin coax, and page 8 for twisted-pair), then turn on the computer. 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 adapter.

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, this conflict will cause faults in
the behavior of both devices. It is then necessary to; run the CMOS setup
utility, manually assign a non-conflicting interrupt number to your Amer.com
NIC card, and disable the Plug-n-Play feature on the bios to prevent the
incorrect auto-sensing of the interrupts upon system startup. If necessary,
consult your computer system manual.

Note:

For cards with both BNC coax and Twisted-Pair RJ-45 connector ports

(models C1 and C10s), only one type of cable may be used to attach to the
card at a time.

If you are using thin coax cabling

Plug the provided T-connector into the card's metal thin coax port.
Connect an incoming thin coax cable to one end of the T. If continuing
on to another network node, attach the departing thin coax cable to the
other end of the T. If the PC is at the end of the network, insert a 50-
ohm terminator plug into the other end of the T instead. Make sure
that the cable distance between the card and any adjacent nodes is
not less than 1.5 feet, and that the cabling is not coiled or curled up.

Make sure your
network cable is
securely
fastened.
