Installing Your Adapter
This chapter describes how to install and configure your Adaptec
adapter in your computer.
Before You Begin
Determine the model of your Adaptec (PCI) adapter by looking at
the model name on the adapter. After turning OFF your PC's power
supply and removing the power cable, remove the cover from your
PC. Find an empty PCI slot.
Note: PCI slots and adapters come in two varieties, 3.3 volt
and the more common 5 volt. All Adaptec PCI adapters
support 5-volt slots. Some models also support 3.3-volt
slots.
Installing the Adapter
WARNING: Before you unpack your adapter or install it in
your computer, make sure you are grounded to avoid
damaging any highly static-sensitive components on the
adapter or your computer. To reduce your static electricity,
touch your computer’s metal chassis and then maintain
grounding by wearing a wrist strap attached to the chassis
or other ground.

Turn OFF your computer and unplug it from its power source.
Disconnect all cables connected to your computer.
Remove any jewelry from your hands and wrists.
Using insulated or nonconducting tools, unscrew your
computer ’s cover from the chassis.
5
Carefully lift the adapter out of its antistatic container. Check
the adapter for any visible signs of damage which may have
occurred during shipment.
If you find a problem, immediately notify your network
supplier and the shipping service which delivered your
adapter.
Note: Adaptec PCI adapters require a bus mastering
slot.
6
7
Remove the metal guard from the back of the expansion slot.
Holding the adapter by its metal bracket, carefully insert the
adapter into the expansion slot. Make sure the board is
inserted all the way into the slot. Both rows of gold fingers
must be fully seated in the PC connector.
8
9
Secure the adapter in the expansion slot with the screw used
for the metal guard.
Screw the computer’s cover back on the computer.
10 Reconnect all devices and cables. See Chapter 3, Connecting to
Your Network Cable for more information on network cabling.
11 Configure the adapter as described in Configuring the PCI
Adapter on page 2-2 or Configuring Quartet Adapters on
page 2-4.
Configuring the PCI Adapter
Your PCI computer ’s BIOS determines available adapter resources
and configures the Adaptec PCI adapters automatically. However,
depending on your system, you may need to configure your mother-
board, PCI BIOS, or both.

Installing Your Adapter
PCI BIOS Settings
PCI BIOS configuration options vary widely by system. The follow-
ing section discusses representative PCI configuration options, but
may not exactly match your computer. (Some computer BIOSs pro-
vide no PCI configuration options, but instead automatically config-
ure all PCI settings. Your BIOS may not provide the options
described below). We recommend that you configure all PCI slots in
your system, even those not currently in use, for later convenience.
Enter your computer BIOS Setup, and select Advanced Settings
from the Main Menu.
PCI Slot Enabled
Use this setting to enable all PCI slots in your
system.
Bus Mastering
Use this setting to enable PCI bus mastering.
PCI INTA
Use this setting to assign an ISA interrupt (10, 11,
12, etc.) to PCI Interrupt Vector A.
PCI INT Vector
Use this setting to assign PCI Interrupt Vector A to
the PCI slot(s).
PCI Bus Latency
Configure this setting to a value between 40 and
80.
PCI Interrupts
PCI uses an interrupt architecture that maps PCI interrupts to regu-
lar ISA interrupts. Some PCI BIOSs will refer directly to the numeric
ISA interrupts (i.e., 10, 11, 12) for PCI slots. Other BIOSs will refer to
the PCI interrupt used by the slot (i.e., INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD).
All Adaptec PCI adapters use the PCI interrupt INTA, and the ISA
interrupt to which it is mapped.

Configuring Quartet Adapters
Quartet adapters use the resources of a single adapter to provide
four separate Fast Ethernet segments. A Quartet adapter requires a
PCI slot with enough room to accept a full length adapter. Follow
the instructions above for configuring a single port PCI adapter to
install and configure your Quartet.
If you are planning to use the Quartet adapter with Windows NT or
Windows 95, please see the discussion of PCI-to-PCI bridge
chips below.
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Chip
Quartets use the DEC PCI-to-PCI bridge chip to increase the capac-
ity of PCI computers by adding an additional PCI bus to the existing
motherboard. Some older system BIOSs fail to configure a Quartet
adapter properly, because the BIOS does not recognize the PCI-to-
PCI bridge chip. Such BIOSs need to be upgraded with a new BIOS
from the computer manufacturer before the system can be used with
Windows NT or Windows 95.

with another adapter, or is not yet fully configured, EMDIAG
displays an error message.
Try repeating the installation and configuration procedures
again. If you still have difficulties, refer to Chapter 5, Using
EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.
Testing the Quartet Configuration
If you are planning to use your quartet with Windows NT you must
first determine if your system's BIOS supports the PCI-to-PCI
bridge chip.

Connecting the Cable
After making sure you have appropriate cabling, connect the cable
to the adapter connector. (For Quartet adapters, connect up to four
cables.)
Connecting the Quartet
Each Quartet adapter provides four separate connectors that can be
used in any combination. If you load a Quartet network driver on a
port that does not have a cable attached, you may receive a startup
message on your server. This is normal and does not affect
performance. To prevent this message, do not load the driver on a
port unless a cable is attached.

Connecting to Your Network Cable
Crossover Cables
A twisted pair or fiber optic crossover cable allows you to connect
servers and workstations directly, without the use of a hub. When
using crossover cables, we recommend you override line speed
autosensing by selecting either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in your driver
configuration. See Chapter 4, Installing Network Drivers, and
Appendix B, Cables, for more information.
Twisted Pair
Crossove
A simple network can be made by connecting a Quartet server
directly to four workstations via crossover cables.

Connecting to Your Network Cable
Checking the Connection with EMDIAG
After connecting the network cable to the adapter, use the EMDIAG
diagnostics utility to test your connection. For more information
about EMDIAG, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot
Problems.

At the Main Menu, select Diagnostics.
At the Test Options Menu, select Local Diagnostics.
Use the Tab key to select <Start> and press Enter. EMDIAG
runs a series of tests on the installed adapter, including
sending a series of test packets.
If any of these tests fail, then a problem exists, possibly with the
network cable or the connection.
In the event of a failure:
1

5
Exit from EMDIAG.
Remove the cable from the adapter.
Reattach the cable.
Reboot.
Run EMDIAG.
If a failure still occurs, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot
Problems, for additional troubleshooting tips.
Note: EMDIAG runs on only one adapter at a time. To learn
how to specify individual Adaptec PCI adapters with
EMDIAG when more than one exists in a system, see
Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.

Installing Network Drivers
The Adaptec setup diskette included with your adapter contains
network drivers for most popular environments. Depending on
your adapter, the Adaptec setup diskette provides drivers for
Novell NetWare, Windows NT, LAN Manager, Windows for Work-
groups, Windows 95, IBM OS/ 2 Warp, and more. Additional drivers
are available directly from Adaptec or your operating system ven-
dor. See the \readme.txt file for details.
Always use the latest driver version available for your adapter.
Drivers are updated regularly on Adaptec’s World Wide Web, FTP,
BBS, and CompuServe forum sites to provide enhanced perfor-
mance and new features. See Technical and Product Support on page ii.
Installation Instructions and Optional Keywords
Installation, configuration, and optional parameters for the drivers
are updated regularly. The \readme\ subdirectory contains supple-
mental installation instructions, as well as information about
optional driver keywords.
Driver Naming Conventions
PCI and Quartet adapters use the EMPCI driver.
Full Duplex Support
To implement Full Duplex on your network, you need both an
adapter and a switch that support Full Duplex. Full Duplex support
allows an adapter to send and receive data at the same time, dou-
bling available bandwidth. Servers tend to benefit from Full Duplex,

because they must respond to requests from many workstations
simultaneously.
Note: Full Duplex can also be enabled point to point with a
crossover cable instead of a switch.
Installation instructions in this chapter describe how to enable Full
Duplex. Additional information can be found in the \readme.txt file.
Adaptec PCI 10 Mb/ s adapters support Full Duplex on twisted-pair
cabling; Adaptec PCI TX adapters support Full Duplex at both
10 Mb/ s and 100 Mb/ s; Adaptec PCI T4 adapters support Full
Duplex at 10 Mb/ s only.

PCI Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Adapters
Running EMDIAG
Your Adaptec adapter is supplied with a comprehensive diagnostics
program called emdiag.exe. EMDIAG resides in the root directory of
the Adaptec diskette. To run EMDIAG
1
Boot up to MS-DOS version 3.3 or later. You should run
EMDIAG with no network drivers loaded.
2
Type A:\EMDIAG and press Enter to start EMDIAG.
Using EMDIAG for PCI Adapters
EMDIAG for PCI adapters includes a number of startup options.
These startup options allow you to specify a particular Adaptec
adapter if you have more than one Adaptec adapter installed in
your computer, and to override EMDIAG's default configuration
settings.
The optional startup parameters for EMDIAG are:
/t: [value]
Determines the number of times (in thousands) the
transmitter test is run, when local or remote diagnostics is
initiated.
/v: [10 or 100] Overrides cable speed AutoSensing and sets the signalling
speed to be used by EMDIAG to either 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps.
/x: [thin or
utp]
Overrides connector AutoSensing and sets the connector to
be tested by EMDIAG

Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems
The menu options permit you to view the configuration and device
information, run diagnostics, access technical support and Readme
files, and leave the EMDIAG program.
When you quit EMDIAG, you can access the cogent.log or
adaptec.log in your directory. This is an ASCII text file contains
BIOS configuration information generated by EMDIAG. This
information can be used by Technical Support to help diagnose
problems.
Configuration Status
When you select the Configuration Status option on the Main Menu,
the Current Configuration screen appears. The Current
Configuration screen shows the resources in use by the adapter. Use
this option to determine if your adapter is recognized by the system.
Note: If Configuration Status reports that no Adaptec
adapter is found, your adapter is not yet ready for use.
Make sure that your PCI BIOS is assigning resources to the
PCI slot of the adapter and that the adapter is in a bus
mastering slot.

Diagnostics
When you select Diagnostics on the Main Menu, The Test Options
menu appears. You may select to run Local Diagnostics, Remote
Diagnostics, or Setup Echo Server. These test options are described
below:
■ Local Diagnostics tests whether your adapter ’s components,
including the transceiver and Ethernet controller, are working
properly. To test your adapter locally, run the diagnostics on an
Adaptec adapter installed in a computer connected to a
network or terminated cable.
■ Remote Diagnostics tests how accurately your Adaptec
adapter sends packets to and receives packets from an echo
server. To test your adapter with a test workstation and an
echo server, make sure that both the workstation and echo
server are on a private network and each contain an Adaptec
adapter. To achieve valid results, use an adapter in the echo
server which is known to function correctly.
■ Setup Echo Server sets up the workstation to act as an echo
station for another Adaptec workstation running the Remote
Diagnostics option. Make sure that the workstation in use as
the echo server is known to work properly.
Running Local Diagnostics
If you select Local Diagnostics from the Test Options menu, the
screen displays a list of tests to be run. The tests are: Controller
Integrity, Time Domain Reflectometer, Loopback, and Transmitter.

running the Remote Diagnostics option. The workstation waits to
receive any echo packets being sent by a remote workstation
running the Remote Diagnostics option and using any Adaptec
LAN adapter.
The echo server workstation waits to receive echo packets from the
remote workstation. The Echo Server screen reports the number of
packets reflected.

Quartet Device Information
If a Quartet adapter is installed, the PCI Device Information option
helps you determine if your system’s BIOS supports the PCI-to-PCI
bridge chip, and allows you to view devices on a PCI bus that
resides on the other side of a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip (including all
four Fast Ethernet ports on a Quartet adapter).
■ PCI-to-PCI bridge Chip Support—If your system does not
support the PCI-to-PCI bridge chip, and you are using a
Quartet adapter with Windows 95 or Windows NT, the system
displays a warning message when you select the PCI Device
Information option.
For more information about PCI-to-PCI bridge chip support,
see Chapter 2, Installing Your Adapter.
■ Viewing PCI Bus Devices—To view devices on a PCI bus that
resides on the other side of a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip, select the
NEXT BUS option in the PCI Device Information window. You
can also view all four Fast Ethernet ports on a Quartet adapter.
PCI buses are numbered sequentially, starting with '0'
Note:
for the first logical PCI Bus. Some motherboards have more
than one PCI bus; the adapters and ports will be numbered
depending on the bus they are on, and their position in the
bus. The current bus number is displayed in the PCI Device
Information windows title bar.

Troubleshooting
If your adapter fails the diagnostic tests, verify again that you have
properly installed, configured, and cabled your adapter. Make sure
that your cable, terminators, and connectors are functioning
properly, or install the adapter in a different slot and run the
diagnostic program again. See Adaptec Technical Support and Services
on page ii if the solutions in this chapter do not help.
Isolating Faulty Hardware
If the problem persists, try the following:
■ Replace the adapter with the same type of Adaptec adapter
which is known to work. If the new adapter functions properly,
the problem is related to the original adapter.
■ Install the adapter in another functioning computer and run
the tests again. If the adapter works in this machine, the
problem is related to one of three areas:
–
–
–
The computer is faulty
There is a hardware conflict
There are problems with the cables or connectors

Cables
Twisted Pair Cable Types
Straight-through Cable
The majority of twisted-pair environments utilize twisted-pair
cables that are wired straight-through. This means that each pin of
the modular plug connector is wired to the same pin on the opposite
end of the cable (i.e., pin 1 is wired to pin 1, etc.) Straight-through
cables connect workstations and servers to repeaters and switches.
Cables for 100BASE-TX use two pair (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6). Cables for
100BASE-T4 use four pairs (pins 1 through 8).

PCI Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Adapters
Crossover Cable
If you do not wish to use a repeater or switch to connect servers and
workstations together, you can use a crossover cable. A crossover
cable connects the transmit, or TX, pins on one end of the cable to
the receive, or RX, pins on the other end of the cable. Crossover
cables connect workstations and servers directly, without the use of
a repeater or switch. You will generally need to make your own
crossover cables, or custom order them from your supplier. Cables
for 100BASE-TX use two pairs (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6). Cables for
100BASE-T4 use four pairs (pins 1 through 8)
Note: All pins must be connected even if they are not used to
transfer data.
