1. Introduction
Thanks for purchasing the Edimax EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter. This manual
describes the steps to follow when installing the hardware and software that came with the
product. The EN-9235TX-32adapter supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T
Ethernet copper interface. Moreover, the PCI interface on the EN-9235TX-32 complies with
PCI Local Bus, and is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus. As a bus master, the EN-9235TX-32
requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled.
1.1 Features
The EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter is a cost effective, high-performance
network interface card. It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes and
integrates easily with Fast Ethernet hub and Gigabit hub and switches.
y Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, and IEEE 802.3ab
1000BASE-T standards
y Complies with PCI specifications
y Supports 32-bit bus master for high throughput and low CPU utilization
y Supports both Half and Full Duplex operations
y Supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing capability
y Supports Wake On LAN (depending on the model and the user’s motherboard function)
y Rich diagnostic LED mounted on bracket for easy viewing and troubleshooting (Link/Act
Green/Blinking Green)
y Plug-and-Play Installation
y Network drivers on CD for Windows 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, MAC 10.4x up and Linux driver
y FCC, CE class B certified
1.2 System Requirements
Before using the adapter, you need the following components:
y One 32 or 64 bit PCI master mode expansion slot that is compliant with PCI bus
specifications
y One CD-ROM drive
y The following cables:
Port Type
10BASE-T
100BASE-TX
1000BASE-T
Media
Max. Distance
100 meter
100 meter
Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP
Cat. 5 or 5e UTP

NOTE: 1000BASE-T signaling requires four twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as
specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for
additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95.

2. Unpacking and Inspection
Caution:
Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter card will not be affected by static charge as may
be received through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances where
you may carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it is highly recommended for you to
reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping gift box and carefully remove all items. Please check the following items:
y One EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter
y One driver/manual CD
Note:
If any of the listed items are missing, please contact your distributor or reseller.
3. Installing the Adapter
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover in accordance to its manual.
3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card into the connector of any available PCI Bus
master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector to PCI slot. Please make
sure that the card’s contacts are fully seated in the PCI slot.
4. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
5. Replace the computer’s cover.
6. Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to the RJ-45 network connector.
7. Remove driver CD from the PC’s CD-ROM drive.
8. Turn on the computer.
9. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-and-Play compliant, then at
power up the BIOS will automatically configure any newly installed adapter.
Note:
Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs' problem, a newly installed adapter, may
occasionally be assigned an interrupt number that is already used by another device adapter.
In such case, the conflict of interrupt number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices.
Therefore it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflict
Interrupt Number.
