Hardware Installation
Below are the steps necessary to install a NetBlaster adapter into a standard, PMC compliant
system. The following are detailed instructions for the hardware installation procedure.
Installing the Hardware
This installation procedure is for installing NetBlaster PMC adapter systems with an embedded
PMC slot. Some steps in this procedure may vary depending on the specific system used. Refer
to the system’s documentation if necessary.
The figure on the following page shows the installation of an adapter in a typical system.
Observe proper Electro-Static Discharge prevention
procedures at all times. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the PCI Adapter or to the system.

1. Turn off your system.
2. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis, or by using
an anti-static wrist strap. If you do not have a ground strap, maintain physical contact with
the case to maintain the same electrical potential with the system.
3. Remove the motherboard or carrier card containing at least one available single-wide
PMC slot. Select a slot to install the ZNYX Networks NetBlaster adapter. Remove the cover
from the PMC slot.

4. Insert the ZNYX Networks adapter into the PMC slot. Insert the bezel of the ZNYX
Networks adapter into the PMC cutout on the front panel of the motherboard or carrier
card. Do not allow the gasket in the groove of the bracket to become misshapen or
damaged. Do not operate without the gasket properly seated.
Guide the adapter down over the alignment pin. Fully seat the adapter into the mating
connectors on the motherboard or carrier card.
5. Secure the four retention screws through the ZNYX Networks adapter standoffs and
tighten.
6. Replace the motherboard or carrier card into the system.
LAN Cable Connection
The LAN cable must be properly attached to a functioning network for the adapter to operate.
Each 100BaseFX port of the ZX222 requires a standard SC multimode fiber cable. SC connector
cables support up to 412 m on 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber.
Connecting to the Network
You can connect your adapter directly to a hub or switch with any standard SC multimode fiber
cable.
Driver Installation
This section covers driver installation for the NetBlaster adapter. At this stage the adapter should
be secure in the system and all Ethernet cables should be attached. If this is not the case, return
to the “Hardware Installation” procedure in the previous section.
Download the specific driver for your system from the ZNYX Networks web site
configuration instructions. Follow the directions on line to configure the driver.
Troubleshooting
All NetBlaster adapters support plug-and-play. If you have a plug-and-play system, your card will
configure itself automatically.
If the operating system does not discover the board, try running the DOS-based diagnostics
program.
Running DOS Diagnostics
DOS-based diagnostics are also available from the ZNYX Networks web site (www.znyx.com)
to help troubleshoot hardware problems. If you believe you have a hardware problem, and have
the capability to run DOS-based diagnostics, the steps below outline the use of the diagnostics.
PMC-to-PCI adapters are available from Catalyst Enterprises (http://www.catalyst-ent.com).

Testing ZX222 Adapters in DOS
1. Run the diagnostic program that came with your adapter to see if your adapter has been
properly configured. Run DIAG222.EXE off your diskette by entering:
>DIAG222 LIST
2. You will see a list below.

3. You should see two Ethernet-type devices, and the “Note” column should indicate the
devices to be ZX222’s. Each should have an IRQ (interrupt line), bus value, and a unique
device number. If so, your card has been automatically configured. Make a note of the bus
and device numbers and go on to the software installation section.
4. To test all channels of your adapter, run DIAG222 for each bus number and device number.
For example, if you have a ZX222 and the bus number is 1 and the device numbers are 4
and 5, run:
>DIAG222 1 4
>DIAG222 1 5
5. If the DIAG222 program says:
Diagnostics successfully completed.
each time, proceed with the software installation.
System-Specific Configuration Requirements
The host computer program should automatically assign all system resources, such as I/O
addresses and interrupt lines (IRQ).
Basic Troubleshooting
For all operating systems, we recommend that you try the following if you are having difficulty.
1. Make sure the board is securely seated in the slot.
2. Observe the LED’s. Each port on the ZX222 has a LINK (green) LED and an ACTIVITY
(amber) LED. The green LED illuminates upon successfully establishing a link. The amber

LED illuminates during activity. Note: In most cases, the driver must be properly loaded and
configured to bring up the link. The link LED is off if there is no link established.

3. Refer to operating system specific documentation to evaluate any error messages or logs
when the driver is loaded.
