Introduction
SMC’s EZ PCI Card 10/100 is a dual-speed Fast Ethernet card for PCI local bus-compliant computers. A true
plug-and-play device, this card is auto-configurable upon power up and also supports auto-negotiation to
automatically select the optimum speed and communication mode of an attached device. This EZ PCI Card
10/100 complies with ACPI and OnNow PC98/ PC99 and also supports Remote LAN Wakeup for remote
management. Software can be loaded and updated, configurations changed, data backed up and inventory
checked, all from a central location. See “Remote LAN Wakeup” on page 5 for more information.
