1. Turn off the power to the PC.
2. Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists.
3. Remove the cover from your PC.
4. Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering 32-bit PCI slot
and remove the corresponding backplate. Save the screw for
use in Step 6.
<Note>
i. Do not install the Fiber Adapter in a shared PCI slot. Avoid
any PCI slot next to an ISA slot because this is often a
shared slot and does not support bus mastering.
ii. If you have problems in identifying a suitable slot, check
your PC documentation or ask your system administrator
for help.

This section describes how to connect the Fiber Adapter to a 100
Mbps fiber-based Ethernet network, which contributes to its
optimal performance.
1. Remove the protective covers from the Fiber Adapter’s
connector.
2. R Prepare a network cable with corresponding connectors for
the two end devices, one end to the Fiber Adapter and the
other to a 100Mbps fiber port on the network hub or switch.
3. Connect the network cable to the connector on the Fiber
Adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the network cable to a
100BASE-FX hub or a switch.
5. When the cable is properly connected to two end devices,
turn on the power to the PC.
6. Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will come on when
the Fiber Adapter is receiving a good link signal from the
connected device, a hub or switch.
7. Proceed to next section for installing the network driver.

optional, and will only be useful in the unusual event that there is
a fault, such as an interrupt number conflict among your
computer’s add on cards, If your installation provides normal
operation, you do not need these test procedures.
At your DOS prompt, type the following command:
a:\setup.exe <Enter>
The opening screen is displayed as following:
View Current Configuration
Set Up New Configuration
Run Diagnostics
Exit NETSETUP
Choose <Set Up New Configuration> item allows you to set up
the Network Speed, 10 or 100M, and Transmission Mode, Full or
Half Duplex, and so on. Choose <Run Diagnostics> item to run
the adapter test program.
Adapter test program includes:
<EEPROM Test>,
<Run Diagnostics on Board>,
<Run Diagnostics on Network>, and
<Run Power Management Test>.
The Power Management Test is available for WOL adapter only.
After choosing the <Run Diagnostics on Board> item, the screen
will display like,
Node ID.....…….: 00 e0 7d c0 00 01
Network Speed...: 100Mbps
I/O Base .………: E000H

<Cable Connection> test reminds you that the connection link
might be fail, either the cable is not connected or the cable link
fails.
For the <Run Diagnostics on Network> test, it is necessary to
connect your computer with its supporting hub or another
computer. This is a "Ping-Pong" test. This test cannot be
completed except two computers on the LAN for sending or
receiving the test packets between computers.
