The procedure for installing the EZ Card 10 PCI models appears

are not included here, some related information is provided.

1. Power off your PC and remove its cover.

Please refer to your computer's Installation Manual for
instructions on how to remove the cover.

The card provides a 32-bit bus interface. It plugs into any
available PCI expansion bus slot. Remove the protector

tors are firmly in place inside the slot. Screw the card's steel
bracket into the PC to secure the connection. Replace the
PC cover.

3. Connect your card to the network.

Select a cable type for your application and attach the card
to the network using the appropriate connector:

• RJ-45 for twisted-pair cable

• BNC for thin coax cable
