Overview

PCI 10/100TX is a Fast Ethernet Board that fully complies
with all IEEE 802.3u, 10/100Base-TX standards.  Three LED

indicators (LINK, ACT, FDX) on the bracket will help to
oversee the network link, board activity, and duplex status.

10/100TX PCI Bus Configuration

 

PCI 10/100TX is auto-configured by the system BIOS.

 

When installing multiple PCI 10/100TX boards at the
server station, you should correctly configure the IRQ
settings of the PCI slots.  Up to four PCI 10/100TX can

be installed in a PCI file server running NetWare
system.  Each PCI 10/100TX’s IRQ should not conflict

with other installed boards/devices.

Full/Half Duplex Mode, 10/100Mbps

PCI 10/100TX supports full/half duplex mode and 10/100
Mbps operation.  Operation in half or full duplex mode at

either 10 or 100 Mbps speed is set by Auto-Negotiation or
LAN driver options.  By employing Auto-Negotiation

capability, the remote link devices’ working condition will be
auto-adjusted to the highest performance common

operating mode.
