INTRODUCTION TO CARDBUS
Cardbus is the next generation 32-bit version issued
by PCMCIA PC Card standard. In addition to
support a wider bus (32 bits instead of 16 bits),
CardBus also supports bus mastering and operation
speeds up to 33 MHz. The l32MBytes bus transfer
rate ( compares with legacy 16-bit I/O PC Card,
20MByte) provides the mobile user to enjoy the high-
bandwidth network connection.
A Mobil computer, which equipped with CardBus
and properly configured is the fundamental
requirement to use the CardBus lO/ 100M PC Card.
To make sure about this point, please follow the
guideline listed below:
I Cardbus is designed to support both 16-bit and
Cardbus Card. But the legacy 16-bit PC Card
slot couldn't accept the CardBus PC Card. In
order to prevent the wrong operation, CardBus is
thus developed with particular mechanical
consideration to prevent it fit into the legacy 16-
bit PC Card Slot. If you can't insert the CardBus
10/100 PC Card into the slot firmly reaching the
bottom, your notebook probably hasn’t the
capability to support CardBus technology.
Please check your notebook manual for detail
information.

. Due to variant design of notebook computers,
some models implement a setting in the
Computer ‘5 BIOS to switch between Cardbus
and 16-bit PC Card modes. You could consult
the User’s Guide of your notebook and properly
set on the CardBus or Auto__Detect mode.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This chapter describes how to install the CardBus
lO/IOOM dual-speed PC Card in your notebook
computer and connect it to network. It’s referred to
“the PC Card” in this manual.
The PC Card could be connected tobeither 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet or IOMbps Ethernet. The PC Card has
the ability of automatic sensing and operating on
either speed without manual recofiguration.
After finishing the installation of PC Card into your
Notebook, please refer to Chapter.3 Software
Installation on how to install network drivers using
menu driven installation utility.
Inserting the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card
1. Hold the CardBus PC Card with wide connector
toward the slot and the brand lable facing
upward. “"
2. Insert the CardBus PC Card and push it firmly
into the bottom. ( Please see the figuer on the
next page for reference)
Removing the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card
It’s quite different for various computer mechanical
designs. Please refer to the PC Card removal
instruction in the document for your notebook
computer.
Connecting to the Network
Connect RJ-45 port of the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet
PC Card Adapter to the Category 5 Network cable
before loading any network driver.
For operation in the 100Mbps (lOOBase-TX)
Ethernet network, a Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTR)Mcable should be used to
connect between the RJ-45 port and 100Mbps
hub or switch.
For operation in the lOMbps (lOBase-T)
Ethernet network, Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable could be used to
connect between the RJ-45 port and a lOMbps
hub or switch.
Parts Names and Functions
RJ-45 port: connects to the Category 5 Ethernet
Network Cable.
10 LED indicator: glows green when operated in
the lOMbps Ethernet network.
100 LED indicator: glows green when operated
in the IOOMbps Ethernet network.
ACT LED indicator: blinks green when the
CardBus 10/100 Ethernet Attached Port PC Card
Adapter is transmitting/receiving data.
Power LED indicator: glows green when
inserted into the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet PC
Card after your PC powers on.
Wake LED indicator: glows green when the
CardBus 10/100 Ethernet PC Card receives a
Magic Packet frame from network.
Full LED indicator: keeps on when in Full
Duplex mode.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Extensive software drivers have been developped
for CardBus 10/ 100M PC Card including DOS-
Mode, Microsoft Windows 3.x, Windows 95,
Windows NT. Some of the' Operating Systems
and PC Card/Socket Services haven’t been well
implemented to support new CardBus technology
at the present time. Our unique drivers and utility
enable the CardBus 10/ IOOM Ethernet PC Card to
run almost all the major environments.
This Chapter consists four main parts: Windows
95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT
4.0, Windows NT 3.5x and various
configurations in DOS-mode. The user could
refer to specific section for installation.
Windows 95 Installation
Windows 95 released two major versions at the
time when this manual is written. The first version
( refer to “Native ‘"Windows 95” afterward )
supports for 16-bit PC Card but not for CardBus
PC Card. The latest version Windows 95 with
OEM Service Release #2 ( refer to OSR2
Windows 95 or later ) supports both 16-bit and
CardBus PC Card. The CardBus 10/100M
Ethernet PC Card could operates in either
Native or OSR2 version Windows 95
environments. However, the installation
procedures are different. The section will presents
you how to identify your version of Windows 95
first. Then you could decide which kind of
installation process should be followed:
