Most adapter failure after installation is caused by A) I/O base address and IRQ Line conflict, or B) Cable problems. 4.
nators. If the terminators do not measure 50 ohms +/- 1%, replace the terminator. Measure the coaxial cable with a 50-ohm terminator attached to one end. The total resistance of the cable plus the terminator should be no more than a few ohms more than the terminator alone. Section Five - Cable Information The network adapters support both popular cable schemes used in Ethernet networks: 10Base-T and 10Base-2. The following are the recommended specifications for proper network cabling.
