Hardware Installation

3. Hardware Installation

The following instructions apply to installing the Fiber NIC in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system.

To install the Fiber NIC, perform the following procedure:

1. High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure the power is off before removing the cover.

Warning

Before installing the adapter, ensure the system power is OFF and unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding procedures have been followed.

2. Remove the system cover and select any empty PCI 32-bit slot. See Figure 3-2. If you do not know how to identify a PCI 32-bit slot, refer to your system documentation.

Figure 3-2. Removing the PC cover

Page 9

100 Base-FX PCI Fiber NIC

3. Select an empty, non-shared PCI 32-bit slot and remove the faceplate. Keep the faceplate in a safe place. You may need it for future use. See Figure3-3.

Note

If you cannot locate or know how to find an PCI 32-bit slot, refer to the documentation that came with your system.

Figure 3-3. Removing the faceplate from PCI slot

4. Remove the fiber card from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location.

Caution

Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the fiber card in a system.

Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the card.

5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the fiber card until it is firmly seated in the PCI 32-bit slot.

Make sure the card is securely seated. See Figure 3-4.

6. Replace the system's cover and secure it with the screws removed in Step 2.

7. Disconnect any personal antistatic devices.

8. Power the system on.

100 Base-FX PCI Fiber NIC

4. PCI Bus System & Configuration

Ensure that the PCI machine does support master slots, INT multiple sharing and timing compatibility.

Do not install Fiber NIC Board in PCI slave slots. Please refer to your PCI system manual and select the appropriate configuration settings.

When installing multiple Fiber NIC boards at the server station, you should correctly configure the IRQ settings of the PCI slot. Up to four Fiber NIC boards can be installed in a PCI file server running NetWare system. The Fiber NIC server boards share the same interrupt line with the driver supporting multiple INT services at a time. Each Fiber NIC Board's

IRQ should not conflict with other boards.

Operation in full or half-duplex (Default) mode is configured by LAN driver options. The operating mode should match the remote link device's working status.

You must use EMM386 version 4.49 or higher, and install both DOS & EMM386 that came from the same DOS package to avoid software problems.

For motherboards with automatic PCI configuration:

• No specific setup is needed.

• You can enter the system BIOS setup menu to view or specify the interrupt line of the PCI slots.

For motherboards with bus master & interrupt jumpers:

• Enable bus master operation in a selected PCI slot and select an interrupt (IRQ) level using the appropriate

Motherboard jumper.

• Enable I/O on the Fiber NIC Board PCI slot.

Network Connection

5. Network Connection

100Base-FX network allows 512-bit time delay between any two node stations in a collision domain. The Fiber cable with devices' bit-time delay (round trip) is as below:
