2 ABOUT THIS GUIDE Conventions Table 1 and Table 2 list conventions that are used throughout this guide.
1 INTRODUCTION The IBM 10/100 Fast EtherLink® XL Adapters by 3Com provide a high-performance connection to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. These adapters operate at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps automatically, depending on the speed of the connected hub. TX DATA ACT 10 L 100 N K Figure 1-1 3C905B-TX Adapter There are two types of 3C905B-TX adapters: the 3C905B-TX adapter with Remote Wake-Up and the 3C905B-TX-NM adapter without Remote Wake-Up.
1-2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Unless specifically indicated, the name 3C905B-TX is used throughout this guide to refer to both adapters. This chapter describes the 3C905B-TX adapter features and PC and server requirements.
Remote Wake-Up 1-3 Remote Wake-Up Remote Wake-Up support is enabled for the 3C905B-TX adapter. If you are using the 3C905B-TX adapter in a PC that supports Remote Wake-Up through the PCI bus, the adapter will respond to a remote Wake-Up command or magic packet signal from a sleep state. Installation and Configuration The 3Com NIC Diagnostics program allows you to test the 3C905B-TX adapter, configure it, and display the adapter configuration information.
1-4 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION PC and Server Requirements Your PC or server must have: ■ An 80386, 80486, or Pentium processor ■ An available bus mastering PCI slot ■ A minimum of 640K of memory Make sure that you are running the latest BIOS for your PC or server, even if your PC is new. Contact your PC manufacturer for more information. How Do I Install the 3C905B-TX Adapter? To complete installation, install the adapter in your PC or server, connect it to the network, and install the network driver.
2 INSTALLING THE ADAPTER There are two types of 3C905B-TX adapters: the 3C905B-TX adapter and the 3C905B-TX-NM adapter. They are both installed in your PC and connected to the network in exactly the same way. After you connect the 3C905B-TX adapter to the network, you connect the Remote Wake-Up cable to the motherboard. Before you begin, make sure that you have the user guide and the 3C905B-TX adapter EtherDisk diskettes, and that your PC meets the requirements described in Chapter 1.
2-2 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ADAPTER 6 Unscrew the screw holding the PCI slot’s backplate and remove it. 7 Insert the 3C905B-TX adapter into an empty PCI slot, shown in Figure 2-1. Make sure that the adapter is firmly seated in the slot. Screw 3C905B-TX adapter PCI slot Figure 2-1 Inserting the Adapter 8 Secure the adapter with the screw you removed earlier.
Connecting to the Network 2-3 11 Proceed to the next section, “Connecting to the Network.” Connecting to the Network You must connect the adapter to the network before installing the network driver. To connect the 3C905B-TX adapter to the network cable, follow these steps: 1 Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the 3C905B-TX adapter, as shown in Figure 2-2.
2-4 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ADAPTER Connecting the Remote Wake-Up Cable WARNING: Install the adapter in slot 1 in the PC (as described earlier) before plugging in the 3-pin connector. Only properly trained and authorized personnel should perform service. Contact your PC manufacturer for information about safe service techniques. 1 Insert the cable into the connector on the adapter, shown in Figure 2-3. Twist the cable twice before attaching the cable to the motherboard.
INSTALLING THE NETWORK DRIVER 3 This chapter describes how to install the network driver that completes your PC connection to the network. The 3C905B-TX adapter software is installed with the network driver. Instructions are provided for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and NetWare DOS client and server driver installation.
