Installation

Install the PCI Express Card
WARNING! Static Electricity can severely damage PCI Express Cards. Ensure that you are adequately Grounded before you open your Host Computer Case or touch the PCI Express Card. You should wear an Anti-Static Strap or use an Anti- Static Mat when installing any Host Computer component. If an Anti-Static Strap isn’t available, discharge any built-up static electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. Only handle the PCI Express Card by its edges and don’t touch the gold connectors.

1. Turn off the Host Computer and any Peripheral Devices that are connected to it (e.g. printers, external hard drives, etc.).

2. Unplug the Power Cable from the back of the Host Computer.

3. Disconnect any Peripheral Devices that are connected to the Host Computer.

4. Remove the Cover from the Host Computer Case.
   Note: Consult the documentation that came with the Host Computer for details about doing this safely.

5. Locate an open PCI Express Slot and remove the corresponding Slot Cover Plate from the back of the Host Computer Case.

6. Gently insert the PCI Express Card into the open PCI Express Slot and fasten the Bracket to the back of the Host Computer Case.
   Note : If you install the PCI Express Card into a Small Form Factor or a Low Profile Desktop System, it may be necessary to replace the pre-installed standard Full Profile Bracket with the included Low Profile Bracket.

7. Connect SATA Power from the Host Computer’s Power Supply to the SATA Power Connector on the rear of the Network Card.
   Note: If the SATA Power is not connected to the Network Card, Power over Ethernet (PoE) will be unavailable, but a data connection will still be established.

8. Reinstall the Cover on the Host Computer Case.

9. Reconnect the Power Cable to the Host Computer.

10. Reconnect all of the Peripheral Devices disconnected in Step 3.

11. Power on the Host Computer and connected Peripheral Devices.

12. Connect an Ethernet Cable to the Ethernet Port on the Network Card.
