Introduction
IntraServer’s Four Port ITI-5232E provides four FAST (10/100Mb/sec) channels from a single PCI
host slot, providing the maximum network integration for high performance network server needs.
Each of four ports is capable of running FAST, FAST Full Duplex, or 10Mb/sec for configuration
flexibility, allowing a single card to communicate with FAST or Standard Ethernet systems
simultaneously.
With each port capable of up to 200Mb/sec in FAST Full Duplex mode, a single ITI-5232E is
capable of up to 800Mb/sec.
ITI-5232E features include:
-High performance PCI bus master, 32-bit direct memory access (DMA)
architecture
-Four independent 10/100 Digital 21143-PC Ethernet channels for optimal
network performance
-Support for all Alpha and Intel Operating systems, including Windows 95,
Netware, Windows NT, OpenVMS, Digital UNIX and Linux.
-Direct 10Base-T and 100Base-TX network connection with full auto-negotiation
support
-Half and Full Duplex mode of operation
-Jumperless “Plug and Play” implementation
-Speed, Link Status, Transmit and Receive activity LEDs
-3.3 and 5.0 volt universal PCI support
All major operating systems are supported on the adapter, including:
- Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.x
- OS/2
- NetWare 3.x, 4.x
- Digital UNIX
7
- OpenVMS
-MS/DOS
-Linux
Two ITI-5232E models are available, as described in Table 1.

Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ITI-5232E adapter in your PCI based bus master compatible
computer, and how to connect it to your network.
The ITI-5232E host adapter is Plug and Play on the host systems PCI bus, and no configuration of
the adapter hardware is necessary.
System Requirements
Before you begin the installation procedure, you will need:
•An available PCI bus master expansion slot
•A system that is compatible with the PCI Specification, Version 2.1
•A floppy disk drive for loading the software drivers
•UTP category 3,4 or 5 cable (type dependant on your network type)
For multi-channel adapters such as the ITI-5232E it is required that your host system
firmware or BIOS support PCI bridging. If your host does not support PCI bridging contact
your system vendor for a BIOS upgrade. If your system can not be brought into compliance
with the PCI bridge specification, then you will not be able to use multi-channel ITIpci host
adapters.
Installing the adapter
The following procedure should be used to install the ITI-5332E adapter:
1. Turn OFF the power to the computer system, and to all peripherals directly connected to
the system (monitor, printer, external SCSI enclosures, etc.)
2. Unplug the system from the AC power line
3. Use an anti-static strap or precautions to avoid static discharge to your computer system
or the ITI-5232E adapter
4. Remove the access cover from your system (refer to the system’s documentation)
10
5. Locate a free PCI expansion slot (small white connector on the system’s motherboard)
and remove the screw and metal bracket for the selected slot. Be certain not to install the
adapter in an ISA or EISA slot, which are longer than the PCI slots
6. Install the adapter in the selected slot. The module should fit without forcing, and should
line up with the I/O bulkhead. Be certain that the adapter is fully seated in the slot
7. Replace the retaining screw removed in step 5
8. Connect to your Ethernet HUB using uncrossed Twisted Pair cable.
After installation, re-assemble the system enclosure, and proceed with Software installation.
