5. Installation Procedures  
5.1 Insert the Networking Interface Card  
Step1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the  
computer’s cover.  
Step2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and remove its protective bracket.  
Step3. Push the Adapter into the slot until the adapter is securely seated. Then  
secure the adapter bracket with a screw.  
Step4. Attached the Wake-On-LAN cable (Optional). If you require  
Wake-On-LAN capability from a powered-off state, attach one end of  
the 3-pin Wake-On-LAN cable to the connector on the top edge of the  
card, and the other end to the “5 V Standby” connector on the  
computer’s motherboard.  
Step5. Connect the Adapter directly to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub or  
switch using UTP cable (Category 3,4 or 5for 10BASE-TCategory 5  
for 100BASE-TX). The maximum allowable length of UTP cable  
connections is 100 meters (328ft). When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be  
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly  
seated.  
Step6. Put back the computer cover and plug in the power cord.  
Step7. Turn the power on. The computer's PCI BIOS automatically assigns  
resources to the Adapter.  
5.2 Install the Network Driver  
You can install the Network drivers from the Gigabyte Software CD. The  
Software CD that accompanies the GN-FE605(M) PCI Adapter contains all the  
network operating system drivers supported by this Adapter. The instructions of  
software installation are given as README files on the CD. Review the root  
directory README for overview information, and for full installation details,  
see the README and referenced instruction files in the sub-directory

appropriate to your network operating system.  
Note: Before installing the networking interface card, make sure your system  
meets the requirements listed for your operating system.  
Note: If you are installing a driver in a computer with other existing adapters,  
be sure to update all the adapters and ports with the same new software.  
This will ensure that all adapters will work correctly.  
5.3 Software Drivers

Microsoft windows NT4.0 \ NT3.51 Windows for Workgroup 3.11  
SCO Unix 5.04

6. Troubleshooting  
If you are facing any problems with the GN-FE605(M) 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI  
Adapter, use the following checklists to identify and correct the problem.  
1. Make sure the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector.  
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables.  
3. Make sure the PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS setup  
utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or  
deactivated PCI slots.  
4. Replace the questioned adapter with another verified adapter then run the  
diagnostic test again.  
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer then run the test again.  
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer then run the test again. If  
the verification / diagnostic run is normal, then there is probably an interrupt  
number conflict which will must be resolved manually by a CMOS setup  
utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.  
7. Appendix  
(A)Wake-On-LAN (WOL)  
A Wake-On-LAN is an ACPI function allowing a powered Off computer to be  
powered On from a remote station. The ACPI can provide power management  
support systems through hardware and operating system cooperation. While the  
PC is powered Off the network card is always active and monitoring the network.  
When a wake-up packet is detected, the card signals the motherboard to power up  
the PC. With the PC powered On, maintenance and other support tasks can be  
performed. By using Wake-on-LAN technology today, you can:  
Power up your PC or multiple PCs from a remote location  
Manage networks more efficiently  
Save bandwidth during the day by transmitting large files at night  
Help your company save on its energy bill  
Eliminate trips back to work to troubleshoot a problem  
Be on the leading edge when new applications for Wake-on-LAN technology  
become available

(D) SNMP ONLY FOR GN-FE605M  
Introduction  
Network statistics and control information are easily retrieved by using  
standard SNMP protocol. Network administrator could use MIB browser to  
get the information from remote host if it is SNMP protocol available.  
GN-FE605M 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter supports standard  
MIB-II counters and some of the RMON counters in the device driver.  
However, there are some other component should be installed for the full  
SNMP operations.  
1. SNMP service: SNMP service in Microsoft platform is provided by  
Microsoft. Users need to install SNMP service for SNMP protocol.  
2. SNMP extension agent: SNMP extension agent is a vendor provided  
software. For the RMON counter support, a SNMP extension agent is  
provided by VIA to make it visible for MIB browser because RMON is not  
the default support counter in Microsoft SNMP service.
