Installation Guide

Installing a Smart 100/16/4 PCI Ringnode
Always turn off the power to your computer before installing or removing any adapters.
The default ring speed setting for this adapter is 'auto-detect'. This means the adapter will run at the same ring speed as the network (either 100Mbps, 16Mbps, or 4Mbps). To change the default setting, use Madge Assist.
This adapter has no switches or links that need setting. PCI computers configure PCI adapters automatically.
1. Read the EMC compliance statement for this adapter.
2. Turn off the power to your computer.
3. Read the handling precautions.
4. Remove the blanking plate from an unused PCI slot.
5. Insert the adapter into the slot and secure it by using the retaining screw from the blanking plate that you removed.
6. Connect a data-cable to the appropriate connector on the adapter: the 9-pin D-type connector for STP cabling or the RJ45 connector for UTP cabling (see
Locating the data-cable connectors
). The Smart 100/16/4 PCI Ringnode automatically detects the type of cabling you connect to the adapter.
7. Connect the other end of the data-cable to a working token-ring network.
8. Re-boot the computer.
9. Run Madge Assist to check that the adapter and its connection are working correctly. (See Configuring and testing adapters with Madge Assist.) The LEDs on the bracket of the Smart 100/16/4 PCI Ringnode indicate the speed of the network into which the adapter is inserted:
the yellow LED indicates that the adapter is inserted into an HSTR switch port
the green LED indicates that the adapter is inserted into a network running at either 4Mbps or 16Mbps
10. Install the driver software.
