Using the Wake-On-LAN Feature

The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card supports both Magic
Packet
and Link Change remote wake-up events.

Only install the Wake-On-LAN wires if your mother-
board supports remote wake-up events. Improperly con-
necting the wire or connecting it to a socket on the
motherboard other than the designated 3-pin socket can
damage your hardware.

If you plan on using the Wake-On-LAN feature of
the EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, please skip to
section about the card’s Wake-On-Lan capabilities
on page 46.

Installing the Hardware

1. Turn off your PC and any peripheral equipment
attached to it. Remove the power cord or turn off the
master switch on the back of the PC

2. Remove your computer's outside cover.

3. Open up your computer and locate the PCI expansion
slot(s). Next, determine which of your PC’s PCI slots is
the master slot. (In newer PCs, the PCI slots are usually
all master slots. Older PCs may
have both master and slave
slots. The EtherFast card must
be inserted into a master slot).
Your PC vendor can help you
determine which slots are
designed for 32-bit cards.

4. If you are using the Wake-On-LAN feature of the
card, connect one end of the WOL wire to the 3-pin
WOL socket on the network card. Connect the other end
to the appropriate socket on the PC’s motherboard.
