ESD WARNINGS
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGES (ESD)
A sudden electrostatic discharge can destroy sensitive components. Proper
packaging and grounding rules must therefore be observed. Always take the
following precautions:
-
Transport boards and cards in electrostatically secure containers or bags.
-
Keep electrostatically sensitive components in their containers, until they arrive at an electrostatically protected workplace.
-
Only touch electrostatically sensitive components when you are properly grounded.
-
Store electrostatically sensitive components in protective packaging or on anti-static mats.
GROUNDING METHODS
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damage to the device: -
Cover workstations with an approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded workplace.
-
Use antistatic mats, heel straps, and/or air ionizers for more protection.
-
Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
-
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
-
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
-
Keep your work area free of non-conductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
-
Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners that are conductive.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The following instructions apply to installing the Network Interface Adapter
PCIe in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your system
for details about performing these tasks on your particular system.
To install the network adapter card, perform the following procedure:
WARNING : Before installing the adapter, make sure the system power is
OFF and unplugged from the power outlet, and that you have followed proper
electrical grounding procedures.
-
High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure the power is off before removing the cover.
-
Remove the system cover and select any empty PCIe slot. See Fig 3-1.
NOTE: If you do not know how to identify a PCIe slot, refer to your system documentation. -
Select an empty, non-shared PCIe slot and remove the faceplate. Keep the faceplate in a safe place. You may need it for future use.
NOTE: If you cannot locate or know how to find a PCIe slot, refer to the documentation that came with your system. -
Remove the Network Interface Adapter PCIe from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location.
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the network adapter card in a system. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the card. -
Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter card until it is firmly seated in the PCIe slot.
Make sure the card is securely seated.
-
Replace the system’s cover and secure it with the screws removed in Step 2.
-
Disconnect any personal anti-static devices.
-
Power the system on.
OPERATION
4.1 LED INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
The table below describes the LED indicators and their functions.
TABLE 4-1. LED INDICATORS
| LED | COLOR | FUNCTION |
|---|---|---|
| Link/Act | Green | Lights when cable connection is good and speed is 1000 Mbps. |
Blinks when traffic is present.
FDX| Green| Lights when the full-duplex mode is active.
4.2 WAKE ON LAN (WOL)
The Wake on LAN function on this adapter can recognize a wake-up frame and signal the PC to power up.
