The card should only be used with twisted-pair cabling, such as 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000Base-T cabling. For best results, we recommend using Category 5e or better unshielded twisted-pair cabling although category 3 can be used for 10BaseT segments. The cable that runs from your PC's Instant Gigabit Network Adapter card to your network should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Installing the Instant Gigabit Network Adapter Each Instant Gigabit Network Adapter is equipped with an RJ-45 port that automatically adjusts to either 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps speeds, allowing your PC to attach to either Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or regular Ethernet network segments without additional hardware or software.

For best results, we recommend using Category 5e or better unshielded twisted-pair cabling although category 3 can be used for 10BaseT segments. Only Category 5e or better cable will work for Gigabit transfer. In any case, the cable that runs from your PC's Instant Gigabit Network Adapter card to your network should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Installing the Network Card & Cabling 1. Power off your PC and any peripheral equipment attached to it. Unplug your PC's power cord. For suggestions on choosing the PC in which to install the Adapter, see the section called Planning Your Network. 2. Remove your computer's outside cover. Link/Act The Link LED will illuminate when the card has been successfully connected to a network and flicker when there is network activity. 1000 The 1000 LED will illuminate when the card is operating at 1000Mbps. If the 1000 LED is not illuminated and the PC is powered on, the card will have automatically determined that your network is operating at a slower speed and compensate accordingly. The RJ-45 Port The RJ-45 Port The RJ-45 Port is where you will connect your network cabling. 3 4 Instant Gigabit Series Instant Gigabit Network Adapter (EG1032/EG1064) 3. Open your computer and locate the PCI slot(s) on your motherboard. PCI slots are easily identified by their beige or white color, and by the fact that network cards fit snugly into them. Remove the metal slot cover on the back of the PC, then insert the Instant Gigabit Network Adapter into any available PCI card slot. 4. If you are interested in Wake-On-LAN, refer to the Appendix for instructions on Wake-on-Lan installation. Wake-On-LAN can be installed at any time, so there is no need to do it now. 5. Once your Instant Gigabit Network Adapter is firmly in place, secure its fastening tab to your PC's chassis with a mounting screw. 6. Replace your PC's cover. 7.
