Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the SuperMac E100 Extended
Performance Card by UMAX Computer Corporation (referred to herein
as UMAX Computer). The SuperMac E100 combines high speed disk
and networking capabilities in a single PCI card. It dramatically
increases performance of most SCSI devices connected to it and con-
nects your SuperMac system to a high-speed 100Mbps network.
The E100 offers up to 40MByte per second transfer rates and enables
you to daisy-chain up to 16 devices. The E100 provides automatic ter-
mination with custom termination available through the control panel.
The 100MBit Ethernet feature offers instant migration from 10 to
100Mbps networking, auto-negotiation for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX
operation, and a performance gain of four or five times over ordinary
10Base-T when combined with NetDoubler software. The E100 card
improves network throughput by taking full advantage of network
bandwidth.

the it a few inches toward the rear of the computer. If the panel lid
appears tight, apply a strong downwards pressure (where the large
arrows indicate) as you slide the lid to the rear. Then lift t he
panel up and off the computer.
5. Remove the metal access port cover behind the enhanced PCI slot
marked Slot A. (The marking is on the motherboard.)
Remove the mounting screw at the top of the metal access port
