                                 BOOT ROM

                 Setting                               SW2/3

                  Disabled                             Off

                   Enabled                               On

                            DMA CHANNEL ENABLE

                 Setting                               SW2/4

                  Enabled                               On

                   Disabled                             Off

  Note:This switch has no effect on the NIC if it is installed in an
  8-bit slot.

                               8/16-BIT MODE

                 Setting                               SW2/5

               8/16-bit mode                            On

              Forced 8-bit mode                         Off

       Note:If an 8-bit transfer mode is required and the NIC is
       installed in a 16-bit slot, use forced 8-bit mode. If the NIC is
       to be used in a Novell Netware 386 file server, 8/16-bit mode must
       be used.

                            COMPATIBILITY MODE

                 Setting                               SW2/6

            Normal ISA bus timing                       On

           Alternate ISA bus timing                     Off

       Note:Alternate ISA bus timing is used if the host computer is not
       100% ISA bus compatible (such as the IBM PS/2 model 30-286) or if
       the Madge Ringnode diagnostics program fails to locate the NIC.

                             DMA CHANNEL BUS

                  Setting                               SW2/7

          Asynchronous bus (uses host                   On
                system's clock)

       Synchronous bus (uses NIC on-board                Off
                     clock)

      Note :The synchronous bus speed is used for systems that have a
      clock speed less than 10MHz.

                               NETWORK SPEED

                Setting                                SW2/8

                   4Mbps                               On

                   16Mbps                               Off

  Note:All NIC cards on the network must be set to the same speed for
  proper operation.

                          DMA CHANNEL

            Channel                          SW3

               1                          Position 1

               3                          Position 2

               5                          Position 3

               6                          Position 4

  Note:This switch pack utilizes a single 8 position switch.

                                CABLE TYPE

                  Type                            LB1 Orientation

       Shielded twisted pair (DB-9                   Option 1
               connector)

     Shielded/Unshielded twisted pair                Option 0
              (RJ-45 jack)

  Note:Ensure that the header block completely covers all pins on the
  base.
