NetWare Server, Client 32, UNIX, OS/2, Banyan, and Other Operating Systems Refer to the online documents. On a DOS server, view the appropriate readme file for information on installing your network driver. To view the readmefiles, insert the PRO/100+ Server adapter disk into a drive, switch to that drive, and type: SETUP /README Refer to Installing Adapter Drivers for the operating system you need. Installing Multiple Adapters All users: The adapter‘s 12—digit, hexadecimal Ethernet address is printed on a sticker placed on the adapter. The Ethernet address is sometimes called the node address or the MAC address. Note that the PCI slot number may not correspond with the physical connector in your server. NetWare users: The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify each installed adapter. You can correlate the PCI slot number to the adapter by using the Ethernet address that is printed on a label on the adapter. Run Setup from the Intel disk to view the Ethernet address and slot number for each installed adapter. For more information, see the readmefiles. NetWare 4.11 server installations use unique slot numbers that are assigned during server setup. Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 users: Repeat the configuration procedure for each adapter you want to install. 1

Select Duplex Mode (Optional) Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives data packets over the network. The adapter can operate at full duplex only when connected to a full duplex 10BASE—T, 100BASE—TX switch, or another full duplex adapter. * Auto (requires a full duplex adapter or switch with auto—negotiation capability). The adapter negotiates with the switch to send and receive packets at the highest rate. This is the default setting. If the switch does not provide auto—negotiation, the adapter runs at half duplex. * Full duplex (requires a full duplex switch or adapter). The adapter can send and receive packets at the same time. This mode can increase adapter performance capability. If the full duplex switch provides auto— negotiation, the adapter runs at full duplex. If the full duplex switch does not provide auto—negotiation, you need to set the adapter duplex mode manually (see following paragraphs), because it defaults to half duplex. * Haif duplex. The adapter performs one operation at a time; it either sends or receives. — If your adapteris running at 100 Mbps and half duplex, your potential bandwidth is higherthan if you run it at 10 Mbps and full ( I duplex. Manually Configuring for Full Duplex If your switch supports auto—negotiation with the N—way standard, duplex configuration is automatic and no action is required on your part. However, few switches in the current installed base support auto—negotiation. Check with your network system administrator to verify whether your switch supports this feature. Most installations will require manual configuration to change to full duplex. Configuration is specific to the driver you‘re loading for your network operating system (NOS). To set up the duplex mode, refer to the section below that corresponds to your operating system. Adapter performance may suffer or your adapter may not operate I if your switch doesn‘t support full duplex and you configure the adapterto full duplex. Make sure you always set the speed when you configure duplex. 12

Choose Adapter Teaming Options The PRO/100+ Server adapter provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x or newer: Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) — provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) — creates a team of two, three, or four adapters to increase transmission throughput. Also includes the AFT option. Works with any 100BASE—TX switch. Fast EtherChannel (FEC) — creates a team of two to four adapters to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes the AFT option. Requires a Cisco switch with FEC capability. To set up an option, go to the appropriate section in the pages that follow. General configuration notes Adapter Teaming options are supported by Windows NT versions 4.0 and later . Adapter Teaming options require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the NDIS driver hotfix from Microsoft. See the Late Breaking News for 14 details.

Setting Up Adapter Fault Tolerance Only rg] Use this procedure to set up AFT only. If setting up ALB or FEC, use the procedures in the next sections. The AFT feature runs automatically when you enable ALB or FEC. Adapter Fault Tolerance provides the safety of an additional backup link between the server and hub or switch. In the case of hub or switch port, cable, or adapter failure, you can maintain uninterrupted network performance. Adapter Fault Tolerance is implemented with a primary adapter and a backup, or secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup adapter will have transmit disabled. If thelink to the primary adapterfails, the link to the secondary adapter automatically takes over. To use Adapter Fault Tolerance, you must have at least two PRO/100+ Server adapters installed in your Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x server and they must be linked to the same network.

Troubleshooting and FAQs If the Adapter Can‘t Connect to the Network Make sure the cable is installed properly. The network cable must be securely attached at both RJ—45 connections (adapter and hub). The maximum allowable distance from adapter to hub is 100 meters. If the cable is attached and the distance is within acceptable limits but the problem persists, try a different cable. If you‘re directly connecting two servers (no hub), use a crossover cable. Most hubs requirea straight—through cable, while most switches require a crossover cable (see your hub or switch documentation to verify). See the Cabling Information readme file for more information on crossover cables. Check the LED lights on the adapter. The adapter has three diagnostic LEDs above the cable connector. These lights help indicate if there‘s a problem with the connector, cable, or switch/ hub. The table on the next page describes the LEDs. y ~~~ Link LED P ~~ Activity LED Wl ——___ ~ 100 Mbps LED 21

LED Indication Meaning LNK On The adapter and switch are receiving power; the cable connection between the switch and adapter is good. Off The adapter and switch are not receiving power; the cable connection between the switch and adapter is faulty; or you have a c driver configuration problem. ACT On or flashing The adapter is sending or receiving network data. The frequency of the flashes varies with the amount of network traffic. Off The adapter is not sending or receiving network data. 100 On Operating at 100 Mbps. Off Operating at 10 Mbps. Make sure you‘re using the correct drivers. Make sure you‘re using the drivers that come with this adapter. The driver file name contains the letter B (for example, EL00BODIDOS). Drivers that support previous versions of this adapter don‘t support this version of the adapter. Make sure the switch port and the adapter have the same duplex setting. If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also configured for full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance, cause data loss, or result in lost connections. Testing the Adapter (Diagnostics) Test the adapter by running diagnostics. For DOS or Windows 3.1 servers, run Setup on the PRO/100+ Server adapter disk. For Windows NT and Windows 95 run PROSet by double—clicking the PROSet icon in the Control Panel, Click Help from the main PROSet window to get complete diagnostics information and instructions. 22

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) SETUP.EXE reports the adapter is "Not enabled by BIOS". * The PCI BIOS isn‘t configuring the adapter correctly. Try the PC/ Installation Tips on page 25. The server hangs when the drivers are loaded. * Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. See Technical Information in the next section for PCI installation tips. * If you are using EMM386, it must be version 4.49 or newer (this version ships with MS—DOS* 6.22 or newer). Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails or errors occur. * At 100 Mbps use Category 5 wiring and make sure the network cable is securely attached. * For NetWare, make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file. * Make sure the duplex mode setting on the adapter matches the setting on the switch. * At 100 Mbps, connect to a 100BASE—TX hub/switch (not 100BASE—T4). The LNK LED doesn‘t light. * Make sure you‘ve loaded the network drivers. * Check all connections at the adapter and the switch. + Try another port on the switch. * Make sure the duplex mode setting on the adapter matches the setting on the switch. * Make sure you have the correcttype of cable between the adapter and the hub. 100 BASE—TX requires two pairs. Some hubs require a crossover cable while others require a straight—through cable. See the Cabling readme file for more information on cabling. The ACT LED doesn‘t light. * Make sure you‘ve loaded the correct network drivers. * The network may be idle. Try accessing a server. * The adapter isn‘t transmitting or receiving data. Try another adapter. * Make sure you‘re using two—pair cable for TX wiring. The adapter stopped working when another adapter was added to the server. * Make sure the cable is connected to the adapter. * Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. See PC Installation Tips on page 25. * Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts — OS/2 doesn‘t. * Try reseating the most recently installed adapter. 23

The adapter stopped working without apparent cause. * Run the diagnostics. * Try reseating the adapterfirst, then try a different slot if necessary. * The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers. 24

Technical Information PCI Installation Tips PCI computers are designed to automatically configure add—in cards each time the server starts. Your PCI server sets the 1/O address and IRQ level for your network adapter when the server starts. These values cannot be changed by Intel adapter software. If you experience a problem when the serverstarts, additional configuration steps may be required. On these computers, manual configuration is possible through the computer‘s PCI BIOS setup utility. Refer to your computer‘s documentation. You may need to verify or change some BIOS settings. Some common PCI solutions are listed here. * Busmaster—enabled slots. On some computers, all slots are not busmaster enabled by default. Check your BIOS PCI bus setting. It will be set to either Busmaster or Non—busmastered. Choose Busmaster. * Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses for ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the samesettings ISA cards are using. Check your PCI BIOS setup program. There may be IRQ options such as Enable for ISA, Reserve for ISA, or Disable for PCI‘ This option is sometimes in the Plug and Play area of the BIOS setup. * Enable the PCI slot. In some PCI computers, you must use the PCI BIOS setup program to enable the PCI slot. This is especially common in PCI computers with the PhoenixBIOS*. + Update your PCI BIOS. An updated PCI system BIOS can correct some PCI configuration problems. Call your server manufacturer to see if an updated BIOS version is available for your server. Phone numbers for the top PCI server manufacturers are listed in the PCI Installation readmefile on the PRO/100+ Server adapter disk. * Configure the slot for level—triggered interrupts. The slot the adapter is using must be configured for level—triggered interrupts rather than edge—triggered interrupts. Check your PCI BIOS Setup program. Here are some example PCI BIOS setup program parameters: PCI slot #: Slot where the adapter is installed Master: ENABLED Slave: ENABLED Latency timer: 40 Interrupt: Choose an IRQ from the list Edge—tevel: Level The exact wording of these parameters varies with different computers. 25

"Push" Installation for Windows 95 If you are a LAN Administrator setting up server—based push installation of Windows 95 as defined in Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit, additional steps are required for this adapter. Refer to the Push Installation for Windows 95 readme file on the support web site (see the inside back cover). Fast Ethernet Wiring 100BASE—TX Specification: The 100BASE—TX specification supports 100 Mbps transmission over two pairs of Category 5 twisted—pair Ethernet (TPE) wiring. One pair is for transmit operations and the other for receive operations. Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters with 100BASE—TX for signal timing reasons. This complies with the EIA 568 witing standard. Fast Ethernet Hubs and Switches The two basic types of hubs are shared hubs (hubs) and switching hubs (switches). This adapter can be used with either type of hub for 10 Mbps. At 100 Mbps, a TX hub or switch is required. Shared hubs In a shared network environment, computers are connected to hubs called repeaters. All ports of the repeater hub share a fixed amount of bandwidth, or data capacity. On a 100 Mbps shared hub, all nodes on the hub must share the 100 Mbps of bandwidth. As stations are added to the hub, the effective band— width available to any individual station gets smaller. Shared hubs do not support full duplex. On a shared hub all nodes must operate at the same speed, either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Past Ethernet repeaters provide 100 Mbps of available bandwidth, ten times more than what‘s available with a 1OBASE—T repeater. Switching hubs In a switched network environment, each port gets a fixed, dedicated amount of bandwidth. In the highway scenario, each car has its own lane on a multi— lane highway and there is no sharing. In a switched environment, data is sent only to the port that leads to the pro— per destination station. Network bandwidth is not shared among all stations, and each new station added to the switch gets access to the full bandwidth of the network, If a new user is added to a 100 Mbps switch, the new station receivesits own dedicated 100 Mbps link and doesn‘t impact the 100 Mbps bandwidth of another station. Switches can effectively increase the overall bandwidth available on the network, significantly improving performance. Switches can also support full duplex.
