IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter User's Guide

Installing the Adapter Hardware

The IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter comes configured from the factory with RPL/DHCP and expansion ROM enabled.

If you want to change these settings, create the LANAIDC and Diagnostics diskette from the DIAGDISK.EXE image file. Boot your machine with this diskette and select the LANAIDC option from the startup menu. Enter /h at the LANAIDC command line prompt for a list of parameters.

1. Switch OFF the PC and all attached devices.

   Note:

   In the U.K., by law, telephone line cables must be disconnected from the PC before the power cord.

2. Remove the power cord from the outlet.

   Attention
   Ensure that your PC is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Power is always supplied to the power connector that attaches to the Wake on LAN adapters, even when the system power switch is OFF.

3. Remove all cables from your PC. Label each cable for easier reconnection at the end of this procedure.
4. Follow the instructions provided in your PC manual for removing the cover or otherwise accessing the adapter slots and inserting the adapter.
5. Install the adapter according to the instructions for adapter installation in the manual that came with your PC.

   Note:

   If you will be using the Wake on LAN feature, then depending on the orientation of the adapter to your computer, you might need to connect the Wake on LAN cable to your adapter before inserting the adapter into the slot in your computer.

6. If you are installing an adapter that does not support Wake on LAN, or if you do not want to install the Wake on LAN feature, go to Installing Your Adapter without the Wake on LAN Feature.

   If you are installing the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN, go to Installing Wake on LAN Cables for IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN.

   If you are installing the IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter continue with Installing Wake on LAN Cables for the IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter.

Installing Wake on LAN Cables for the IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter

For instructions on using the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN see Installing Wake on LAN Cables for IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN.

1. Two Wake on LAN cables are included with your new adapter. Determine which to connect to your adapter in the following manner.
   • If your PC has a power supply cable marked P9 or P12, then you must use cable part number 42H2397. This cable has two connectors; one for the adapter and one for the system board.
   • If the cable from the power supply is not present, then you must use part number 76H7254. This cable has three connectors; two for the adapter and one for the system board.
2. Connect the cables to your adapter as follows:
   • Connect the planar connector to the system board as shown in Figure 1. If you are using the two-connector cable, part number 42H2397, this connector has two pins. If you are using the three-connector cable, part number 76H7254, this connector has three pins.
   • Connect the signal connector to your adapter at P5 as shown at number 2 in Figure 2.
   • If you are using the three-connector cable, part number 76H7254, connect the power connector to the adapter at P4 as shown at number 3 in Figure 2.

     Otherwise, connect the power supply cable marked P9 or P12 to the adapter at P4. See number 3 in Figure 2.

3. Ensure that the adapter is secure in the PCI slot with retaining screw or other bracket lockdown mechanism.
4. Re-install all removed covers.
5. Connect the Token-Ring cable to the adapter and to the network. See Adapter Cable.
6. Re-connect all cables to your computer and then connect the power cord. Follow all safety instructions.

   Note:

   In the U.K., by law, the power cord must be connected before the telephone line cable.

7. Installation is now complete. Go to Software Installation.

Installing Wake on LAN Cables for IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN

1. Connect the 7-pin end of the cable (P/N 30L6390) to your adapter at the opposite end from the adapter bracket.
2. Connect the other ends of the cable to the system board. These connectors go to the following system board connections:
   • Black, yellow, and red cable to the motherboard connector labeled LAN Wake.
   • Blue, white, and green cable to the motherboard connector labeled Alert.
3. Ensure that the adapter is secure in the PCI slot with retaining screw or other bracket lockdown mechanism.
4. Re-install all removed covers.
5. Connect the Token-Ring cable to the adapter and to the network. See Adapter Cable.
6. Re-connect all cables to your computer and then connect the power cord. Follow all safety instructions.

   Note:

   In the U.K., by law, the power cord must be connected before the telephone line cable.

7. Installation is now complete. Go to Software Installation.

Installing Your Adapter without the Wake on LAN Feature

2. Re-install all removed covers.
3. Connect the Token-Ring cable to the adapter and to the network. See Adapter Cable.
4. Re-connect all cables to your computer and then connect the power cord. Follow all safety instructions.

   Note:

   In the U.K., by law, the power cord must be connected before the telephone line cable.

5. Installation is now complete. Go to Software Installation.

Adapter Cable

To connect your adapter to a Token-Ring network, you will need one of the cables illustrated in Figure 3. Cables are not included in the package. The network end of the cable must be compatible with the network faceplate or other device to which the adapter will be connected.

Note:

No more than one data cable may be connected to the adapter at a time.

Figure 3. STP and UTP Cables

IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 and IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 2 with Wake on LAN can use any of these cables.

IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter must use cable II (category 5 or better) or III. You cannot use cable I or the combination of P/N 60G1066 with cable III.
