4. Connect the Cheetah PCI Adapter directly to a 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-TX hub or switch using UTP cable (Category
3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T; Category 5 for 100BASE-TX). The
maximum allowable length of UTP cable connections is 100
meters (328 ft.). When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the
tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is
properly seated.
5. Replace the computer’s cover and power it on. The
Cheetah PCI Adapter should be automatically configured
by the host computer’s BIOS. However, if you have an
older computer, you may have to manually configure the
computer’s BIOS settings. See “Troubleshooting.”
6. Install the appropriate network driver for your operating
system. The Accton driver diskette that accompanies the
Cheetah PCI Adapter contains all the network operating
system drivers supported by this card. For convenience,
the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT drivers are placed in
the diskette’s root directory. Please read the “RELEASE.TXT”
file on the diskette for a list of all drivers. A text file is
included with each driver to detail the proper installation
procedure. Any new or updated drivers can be
downloaded from Accton’s Web site at http://www.
accton.com.
Setup Program
If the Cheetah PCI Adapter is not automatically configured by
the host PC, or there is a problem with the card, run the DOS-
based Setup Program to help configure the PC’s BIOS settings
and test the card.
1. Boot the computer to a full DOS environment (not a DOS
window) and run the Setup Program, SET1207D.EXE, on
the Accton driver diskette. The screen will display the Main
Menu (see below).
