The l32MByles bus tranfer rate ( compares with legacy l6-bit l/O PC Card ,20MByte) provides the mobil user to enjoy the high-bandwith network connection A mohil computer which equipped with CardBus and properly configured is the fundamental require- ment to use the CardBus 10/ 100M PC Card To make sure about this point, please follow the guideline listed below: 0 Cardbus is designed to support both 16-bit and Cardbus Cardi But the legacy 16-bit PC Card slot couldn't accept the CardBus PC Card In oder to prevent the wrong operation, CardBus is developed with particular machanical 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 techno- logy. Please check your notebook manual for detail information. NoteBook with only 16 bil PC_ _Card CardBus equipped NoteBook 15bit PC Card CardBus PC Card 0 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_Deteet model HARDWARE IN This chapter describes how to install the CardBus lO/lOOM dual-speed PC Card in your notebook computer and connect it to network. lt’s referred to “the PC Card” in this manual, The PC Card could be connected to either lOOMbps Fast Ethernet or lOMbps Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) calber The PC Card have the ability of automatic sensing and operating on either speed without manual recofiguration. Afier finishing the installation of PC Card into your Notebook, please refer to Chapterj Software Installation on how to install network drivers using menu driven installation utility. Inserting the CardBus Dual—Speed PC Card I.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 design Please refer to the PC Card removal instruction in the document for your notebook computer. _______— Connecting and Removing the Cable of Media Coupler to the CardBus PC Card Grasp the PC Card lS-pins connector at the end of the media coupler with the pointing triangle facing upwardi Gently insert it into the mating connector on the PC Card until it clicks in place at both sides. Attention should be paid when removing the lS-pins connector. Please press _the both sides ofthe connectors before dragging it out of the PC Card. _._____———— Connecting to the Network Connect unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to the R145 connector of media coupler before loading any network driver. 0 For operation in theIOOMhps (lOOBase-TX) Ethernet network, a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair(UTP) cable should be used to connect between media coupler and lOOMbps hub or switch, oFor operation in (he lOMbps (lOBase-T) Ethernet network, Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable could be used to connect between the media coupler and a lOMbps hub or switch.
