1 1. Introduction The 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit LAN adapter for use in personal computers with PCI computer bus slots. This adapter is a dual-speed adapter and features one RJ-45 connec- tor for either a 10 Mbps IEEE 802.3 or a 100 Mbps IEEE 802.
2 1.2 Connectors and LEDs Figure 1-1 shows the important components on the adapter . No. Components Description 1 Intel 21 143 LAN controller 2 J P 2 3-Pin Wake on LAN (WOL) connector 3 J P1 PME setti.
3 Figure 1-2 shows the connector and LEDs on the bracket. No. Components Description 1 10/100 Mbps This RJ-45 connector requires UTP network connector cable for 10Mbps or 100 Mbps connection. 2 100Mb Link LED This LED lights when 100 Mbps connection is selected and active.
4 2. W ake on LAN T echnology The adapter is an ACPI-compliant network adapter that supports the following features: _ Power management interface _ Remote wake-up (R WU) ACPI ( Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) ACPI is a key element in Operating System Directed Power Man- agement.
5 WOL Installation The adapter features : 1. One LAN controller which can support PCI power manage- ment interface and function. 2. One 3-Pin W ake on LAN (WOL) connector (JP2) 3.
6 3. Installing the Adapter This chapter describes how to install the Fast Ethernet PCI adapter in a PCI computer and how to connect the adapter to the network. Before installing the adapter, you need the following: A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifica- tions version 2.
7 5 . Insert the adapter into the slot and secure the screw (see Figure 3-1). 6. Install the WOL cable, if necessary . Refer to 3.2 for the details. 7. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all previously connected cables. Figure 3-1 Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot 3.
8 Figure 3-2 PME Jumper JP1 Setting 4. Locate the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard. 5. Plug one end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector of the adapter . 6. Plug the other end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard.
9 3.3 Connecting to the Network The rear bracket of the Fast Ethernet adapter contains one RJ-45 connector . The connector is used for either 100Mbps 100BASE- TX connection or 10Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter can sense the connection speed and switch to appropriate operation automatically .
10 10 Mbps Connection For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. T o establish a valid 10 Mbps connec- tion, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Connect the network cable as follows: 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter .
11 100 Mbps Connection For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports Category 5 UTP cabling. T o establish a valid 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub. 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter .
12 4. Network Driver Installation After making the connection to the network, you must install the adapter network driver in order to connect the Fast Ethernet adapter to your network operating system.
13 In addition to the basic drivers, more updated information and driv- ers may be included in the driver media after this guide is published. Please refer to the README.
14 4.3 Installation for Windows 98 System After the driver installation for Windows 98, there are some simple methods to check the installation is proper or not as follows: 1.
15 The adapter name shown in Device Manager should be "KF221TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter". The installation is proper if there is no "?" or "!" mark ahead of the adapter line. 2. If you are using TCP/IP protocol, you can use Ping command under DOS mode to check the adapter itself.
16 5. LED Indicators Each Fast Ethernet adapter has three LEDs, as shown in Figure 1-2. 5.1 Interpretations The interpretations of the LEDs are: 100Mb LED indicates an active 100Mbps connection is established.
17 Appendix A1. Specifications Network std.: 10 Mb psIEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet 100 Mbps IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Speed : Auto-sense, auto-negotiation, 10Mbps, 100Mbps Duplex : Auto-negotiation, Half-duplex and full-duplex Bus Interface: PCI 2.
18 A.2 Auto-negotiation Function The adapter is equipped with an auto-negotiation function. Auto- negotiation is a negotiation procedure between two connected de- vices. Both devices must be auto-negotiation capable. The proce- dure decides the best operation modes that can be used for the data transfer operation between two connected devices.
19 A.3 Installing Remote Boot ROM Before you can use the remote boot function, you have to setup the remote boot service on the file server and install the remote boot ROM onto the adapter . T o install the boot ROM, make sure the notch of the boot ROM is in the same direction as the notch of the socket on the adapter .
