NE2000 Jumper Settings

This document is for the NE2000 network board only.  Due to the
frequent success, use, and popularity of this network board, Novell
is providing the following information in case the original
documentation is misplaced or otherwise unavailable.

When doing a first time installation or needing to change any
settings to avoid conflicting with other hardware, use this handy
chart.

Connector Type

To select the connector type, use jumpers W1-W8.  The selection of
this connector type depends on the use of thin Ethernet cable (BNC
connector) or thick Ethernet cable (DIX connector), sometimes
referred to as twisted pair connection depending on cable hardware.

The bottom is referring to the edge of the network board with the
gold fingers that insert into the system-board expansion slot. 
Jumpers W1-W8 have three pins each.  The bottom two rows must be
jumpered for BNC connector type (This is a default setting).  For DIX
connector type, jumper the top two rows.  Notice, the physical
location of jumpers will correspond to the location of the connectors
at the end of the network board.

W16 jumper

This jumper sits all by itself and helps to resolve some timing
issues. With some machines using Chips and Technologies chipset there
is a slight bus-timing difference.  Microcode for the NE2000 was
modified to help compensate for the timing problem dependent on
whether W16 is jumpered or not.  This has not been documented as a
problem with NetWare Lite. However, if you suspect a timing problem
and have the fore mentioned chipset, remove jumper from W16.
