Hardware Description SMC’s EZ Card 1000, SMC9452TX-1, is a Gigabit Ethernet network interface card for 32-bit PCI local buscompliant computers. It operates under the 1000BASE-T specification over Category 5 UTP Cable, as well as being compatible with 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T connections. This network card provides up to ten times the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet, and can deliver a full 2 Gbps of throughput to the host PC. A true plug-and-play device, the card is auto-configurable upon power up.
System Requirements Before you install the EZ Card 1000, check your system for the following requirements: • • • • A PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later An available 32-bit PCI slot Category 5 or 5e UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors An IEEE 802.3ab-compliant Gigabit Ethernet device installed in your network Note: If you are installing in an older PC model (Pentium or earlier), upgrade the BIOS to the latest version.
PCI Configuration In most cases, your network card is automatically configured when you power-up your computer. In certain computers, however, you must modify PCI settings by running your computer’s BIOS Setup program. For more information, refer to “PCI Compatibility” section of this manual. Connecting Category 5 Cable To connect to a 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet device, use the RJ-45 connector on the network card and Category 5, 5e or better UTP cable.
Driver Installation Windows 95/98 NOTE: Installation processes will require the use of your original, licensed copy of Windows. Please have your Windows CD available BEFORE proceeding with the installation. Step 1: After you have inserted the EZ Card 10/100/1000 SMC9452TX-1 PCI Card in your machine, the Operating System will automatically recognize the adapter and prompt you for the appropriate drivers. Click the [Next >] button to begin the installation.
Step 3: Clear all checkboxes except for [Specify a location:]. Then press the [Browse] button and look for the drivers on your CD-ROM. If using Windows 95, browse to ?:\SMC9452\WIN95 and if you are using Windows 98, browse to ?:\SMC9452\WIN98. (Note: The "?" equals the letter of your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this is D.) Step 4: The system should find the drivers. Click the [Next >] button to continue the installation. The wizard will show "SMC EZ Card 10/100/1000 (SMC9452TX-1)".
Step 5: Once the system has copied the SMC drivers from the CD, it may then request files from your original Windows disk. Please insert the Windows CD at this time. Step 6: The system will copy the files. Do NOT press [Cancel].
Step 7: Once all the necessary files are copied from the Windows CD, the driver install process will be complete. Click [Finish] to exit the wizard.

Windows NT Step 1: NT is not a Plug-and-Play Operating System, thus you need to manually install the drivers. Right-click on the [Network] icon on the desktop and click [Properties]. Step 2: Go to the [Adapters] tab and click the [Add] button. Step 3: Click the [Have Disk] button and enter the location of the drivers. This should be ?:\SMC9452\WINNT. (Note: The ? equals the letter of your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this is D.) Then click [OK]. Step 4: The system will display the model of your adapter.
Windows 2000 Step 1: After you have inserted the SMC9452TX-1 PCI Card in your machine and turned it back on, the Operating System will automatically recognize the adapter and prompt you for the appropriate drivers. Click the [Next >] button to begin the installation. Step 2: Insert the Driver CD and select the [Search for a suitable driver...] option. Then click [Next >]. Step 3: Clear all checkboxes except for [Specify a location]. Then click [Next >].
Windows XP Step 1: After you have inserted the SMC9452TX-1 PCI Card in your machine and turned it back on, the Operating System will automatically recognize and install the adapter using the drivers built-into Windows XP. If you wish to upgrade to the latest drivers available on the CD-ROM, please continue and read the directions below. Step 2: Click [Start] and click [Control Panel]. Then click the [Performance and Maintenance] icon and select [System]. Click the [Hardware] tab and click [Device Manager].

TROUBLESHOOTING PCI Compatibility Early PCI BIOS versions do not properly support the PCI specification and may “hang” when a network card driver tries to load. If this occurs, make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification (v2.0 or later) and upgrade your computer BIOS to the latest version.
Solutions for Common Problems Problems are often caused by cabling errors, conflicts with other devices installed in the same computer, or software that has been configured incorrectly.
