Connect the CheetahPower Enhanced PCI Adapter directly to
a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub or switch using UTP cable
(Category 3, 4, or 5 for 10BASE-T; Category 5 for
100BASE-TX). The maximum allowable length of UTP cable
connections is 100 meters (328 ft). When inserting an RJ-45
connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position
to ensure that it is properly seated.

Replace the computer’s cover and power it on. The adapter
should be automatically configured by the host computer’s
BIOS. However, if you have an older computer, you may have
to manually configure the computer’s BIOS settings. See
“Troubleshooting” on page 7.

Install the appropriate network driver for your operating
system. The Accton CD that accompanies the CheetahPower
Enhanced PCI Adapter contains all the network operating
system drivers supported by this card. Please read the
“RELEASE.TXT” file on the CD for a list of all drivers. A text
file is included with each driver to detail the proper installation
procedure. New or updated drivers can be downloaded from
Accton’s Web site at www.acctontech.com.
