installing the Ethernet card
1The following diagram shows where the
Ethernet card will be positioned after you
have installed it as described below starting
with step #2:
2Remove the computer’s cover (refer to the
computer’s documentation for instructions).
3Locate the PCI slots (they are beige or white).
If there is a faceplate covering the slot,
remove it, saving the screw, if any.
4Firmly press the Ethernet card all the way
into an empty PCI slot until it is snugly
seated.
Note: Be sure to install the card properly to avoid
reopening your computer later.
5If you removed a screw from a PCI slot
faceplate, screw it into the corresponding
end of the Ethernet card faceplate.
6Reinstall the cover on the computer.
7Reconnect the cables to the computer as
noted in step 4 of “before you begin.”

installing the driver
1Turn on the computer and insert the CD-ROM
into the CD-ROM drive of the computer.
2The computer operating system automatically
recognizes the new Ethernet card and
launches the New Hardware Wizard. Click
Next.
3Accept the default selection, search for a
better driver (the wording varies among
Windows operating systems). Then click
Next.
4If you see a window that reads, “Windows
will search for a new driver in its driver
database…,” click the CD-ROM drive box
and then click Next.
5The computer operating system automatically
finds and installs the correct driver. Once a
successful installation is reported, click
Finish.
6If the wizard asks you for permission to
restart the computer, click Yes. If the wizard
does not appear, restart the computer.

troubleshooting
1When I restart the computer after installing
the Ethernet card, Windows doesn’t detect
the card and launch the New Hardware
Wizard.
■Verify that you inserted the card securely
in the PCI slot.
■Try inserting the card into a different PCI
slot.

2The New Hardware Wizard cannot find the
driver for the Ethernet card.
■You are probably on a window that
reads: “Windows was unable to locate
the software for this device….” Click
Back as instructed. Be sure the CD-ROM
is inserted in the CD-ROM drive of your
computer and that the CD-ROM drive
option checkbox is checked. Click Next.
The wizard should locate and install the
correct driver.
3The card and driver are installed, but I can’t
connect to the network.
■Verify that your computer is properly
configured to work with your network (see
the documentation for your Gateway,
router, switch, or hub).
