connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press
the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are
fully seated in the connector, This card can put either in 32-bit or
64-bit PCI slot, but it is recommended that the card to put in the 64-
bit PCI slot to have the maximum performance.

3. Install the bracket screw which secures the card to the computer

chassis.

4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.

5. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch computer power

on. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-
and-Play compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will automatically
configure any newly installed the Gigabit Ethernet Card.

NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens occasionally

that a newly installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is
already assigned to another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt
Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary
to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non -conflicting Interrupt
Number.
