EtherWORKS Turbo PCI 10 Installation

This document is an installation manual for the Digital Equipment Corporation EtherWORKS Turbo PCI 10 adapter, a 10-Mb/s Network Interface Card (NIC) designed for PCI-compatible systems to connect to Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 networks. It covers two models: the DE450-CA (Combo with ThinWire, AUI, and twisted-pair connectors) and the DE450-TA (Twisted-Pair only).

The manual provides quick start procedures for various operating systems (Novell NetWare VLM DOS Client, Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT V3.51, and other DOS-based environments). It details the hardware installation process, including inserting the adapter, connecting to different Ethernet network types (twisted-pair, ThinWire, AUI), and installing an optional Remote Boot ROM.

Key features of the adapter are highlighted, such as its 32-bit DMA architecture, easy installation via the EZWORKS utility, SNMP manageability, high data transfer rates with the DECchip 21041, full-duplex mode capability, and compliance with industry standards and regulations.

The document also guides users through configuration and diagnostics using the EZWORKS Installation utility, explaining how to run diagnostic tests, configure the remote boot ROM, and use command-line switches. It provides information on device drivers, network management software, and how to obtain the latest software versions from sources like the Internet and CompuServe. Finally, it includes a problem-solving appendix with fault isolation by symptom and diagnostic test error codes, along with general information on the adapter's physical description, functional components, electrical parameters, operating environment, and cabling requirements.
