Driver Installation
NOTE: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 will automatically detect the new hardware and
install the necessary drivers without any user input.
The following are installation instructions for Windows OS only. If you are using
Linux, Netware, or any other supported environment, consult the driver installation
instructions available in the most recent driver download folder, available by locating
ST100S/ST100SLP on our website, http://www.startech.com, and clicking Downloads.
Windows 95/95/ME
1. Windows will automatically detect the new hardware and launch the Add Hardware
Wizard. Click Next.
2. Choose the option about using a driver from the disk provided by hardware
manufacturer, and direct Windows to the folder “PCI 100 Lan Card (ST100S &
ST100SLP)“, followed by the folder for your operating system version (e.g. “Win98”).
3. Follow any additional on-screen prompts and reboot your computer to complete
the installation process.
Verifying Driver Installation
To verify that the drivers have successfully been installed, right-click on My
Computer, and select Manage. In the left-most column of the next screen (Computer
Management), click on Device Manager. In the right-most column, click on the [+]
symbol located next to Network Adapters, which will expand the Network Adapters
listing, detailing the devices that are installed.
Monitoring Your Card
The LED on the front of the card is the best indication of the card’s activity. If the Link/
Activity LED is not lit, there is a connection error. Please ensure that all devices are
turned on and that the network cable is properly connected at both ends. Also make
sure that your network cables comply with EIA/TIA 568 and Category 5 specications.
If problems persist, power down all devices and disconnect all plugs. Wait at least ten
seconds then plug the devices back in and power them up.
