PCI installation
                                                                    v1.01
      
      
      Installing an Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 PCI LAN adapter in a
      PCI slot
      ================================================================
      
      1  Put the adapter in the computer.
      
      2  Start the computer. In most cases, the PCI computer will
         automatically configure the adapter. If this doesn't happen, you
         may have to configure the computer to work with the adapter. See
         the next section for details.
      
      
      If you have problems
      ====================
      
      Intel has found that some PCI computers require additional
      configuration to install a PCI adapter. Follow these steps to
      complete the installation:
      
      1  Make sure you have the latest BIOS version for your computer.
      
      2  Make sure the BIOS is set up correctly.
      
      The following sections describe these steps in detail.
      
      
      Make sure you have the latest BIOS version
      ------------------------------------------
      
      Contact your computer's manufacturer to make sure you're using the
      latest BIOS. Here are the phone numbers for the top PCI computer

      BIOS setup
      ----------
      
      In some PCI computers, you may need to enable the PCI slot using
      the BIOS Setup program. This is especially common in PCI computers
      with Phoenix BIOSs.
      
      After installing the adapter, turn on the computer and enter the
      Setup program during system initialization (usually by pressing F1,
      F2, or Ctrl-Alt-S). The key you press is usually shown on the
      screen.
      
      Once in Setup, find the entry for PCI slots.  Set these parameters:
      
      PCI Slot#:     Slot where the adapter is installed (1-3)
      Master:        ENABLED
      Slave:         ENABLED
      Latency Timer: 40
      Interrupt:     Choose any one of several that Setup provides.
      Edge-level:    Level
      
      The exact wording of the parameters varies with computers.
      
      Save the changes, exit Setup, and continue with the installation.
      
      
      Updating the Compaq DeskPRO XL BIOS
      ===================================
      
      There are two primary steps:
      
      1  Upgrade the Compaq system BIOS to v2.22E (available from
         Compaq).
      
         In general, follow the instructions on page 7-12 (Using the
         Compaq EISA Configuration Utility) in the Compaq Beyond Setup
         for the Deskpro XL. This includes: Power off, Set switch 6 to
         ON, Power on, Run EISA Config Utility to reconfigure, select
         computer setup icon, select OK to restart, Press F10 with cursor
         in upper right of screen, select System Configuration, wait
         while computer reconfigures, enter to complete, MAKE SURE to set
         S6 back to OFF position before powering off (this disables the
         erase option).
      
      2  Upgrade the Compaq Rompaq, and follow the instructions below.
      
         The Compaq BBS Rompaq upgrade for the DeskPro/XL (SP1022.zip)
         works with our EtherExpress PRO/10 PCI LAN adapters.
      
         In general, follow the instructions from Compaq, which include
         setting switch S1 to On for update.  (S1 On - disabled:  Flash
         ROM can be updated. S1 OFF - enabled:  Prevents Flash ROM
         updates. Off is the default).
      
      To correctly enable the card after this BIOS is installed:
      
      1  On restart, press F10 to go into the configuration utility when
         the blinking cursor moves to the right corner.
      
      2  The COMPAQ configuration screen should come up.  The BIOS rev.
         shown here must be 2.22E (or later).
      
      3  Press return to get initial configuration choices.
      
      4  Press CTRL-A. If a message saying 'Advanced Features Enabled'
         does not appear, you cannot enable our card.
      
      5  Press return to confirm, and then choose Configure system.
      
      6  After the configuration runs, choose View, Edit Details.
      
      7  Under the Advanced Features section, look for PCI Master Enable.
         The default is disabled. Change the setting to enabled.
      
      8  Further down, in Slot x, you should see PCI Ethernet Controller.
         Move the cursor to enabled, and press F6 to check the settings.
         Typically, our card will be given INT 2(9). Change this to INT
         10.
      
      9  Move down to Embedded PCI Ethernet Controller. The default is
         enabled. Change the setting to disabled.
      
      10 Save settings and exit.
