INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card for 32/64-bit
PCI Bus-equipped personal computers. The Gigabit fiber Ethernet
Card is ideal for speeding up data transfers for network servers and
other computers, such as those used for video-conferencing, that send
and/or receive large amounts of data. It also includes the newest
networking technologies, such as VLAN and multicasting support,
that use network bandwidth more efficiently and further help the card
maximize data throughput.
Features
 IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX compliant
 Support 64/32-bit 66/33Mhz PCI Local Bus Master high-speed
operation of Rev.2.1/2.2 specification
 Plug-and-Play installation
 SC type connector for 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm multi-mode
fiber
 Supports Full-duplex mode doubles network data rate to
2000Mbps
 Built-in FIFO buffers reduces overhead of memory transfers
 Virtual LAN (VLAN) and long frame support. VLAN tag
insertion supports for transmit packets. VLAN tag detection and
removal for receive packets
 802.3x Full duplex flow control, including automatic
transmission of Pause frames based on Rx FIFO thresholds
 Two LED indicators for easy diagnostic

Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, and management objects,
but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over
100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase
over 10Mbps Ethernet.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit
Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks
that frequently develop as computers and their busses get
faster and more users use applications that generate more
traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone
and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between your subnets.
Fiber Gigabit Ethernet enables Fiber cable connections to
support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar
data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers
occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted
with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the
number of operations in the same amount of time.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the
32/64-bit PCI Bus Gigabit fiber Ethernet card
Unpacking
CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the 64-bit PCI 1000Mbps
Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card will not be affected by static
charge as may be received through your body during
handling of the unit. However, there are special
circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily high
static charge, and possibly damage the card and/or your
computer. It is good practice to eliminate all static
electricity by touching a ground (an unpainted metal area
of your computer chassis, for example) before performing
any installations.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In addition
to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have:
 One 64-bit PCI 1000BASE-SX Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card.
 One Driver Diskette or CD-Rom
 This User’s Guide.
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local
reseller for replacement.

Installing Fiber Adapter into PCI slot
Step 1: Turn off the power to the PC.
Step 2: Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists.
Step 3: Remove the cover from your PC.
Step 4: Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering 32bit or 64bit
PCI slot and remove the corresponding backplate. Save the
screw for use in Step 6.
Step 5: Carefully insert the Fiber Adapter into the chosen slot and
press firmly with proper push to ensure it is fully seated in the
slot.
Step 6: Secure the Fiber Adapter with the screw you saved in step 4.
Step 7: Replace the PC cover.
Step 8: Proceed to “Connecting to Your Network” section.
<Note>
Always ensure the power is cut off before any installation to avoid
electric shock and possible damage to the equipments.

9
Connecting the Fiber ( SC ) Cable
A Multi-mode Fiber cable (50/125µm or 62/125µm,
wavelength850nm) with SC connector is required for the Gigabit fiber
Ethernet Card.
For cabling requirements and maximum segment distance when
connecting the Fiber Adapter to your network, please refer to the
Technical Specifications on page 11.
Software Installation
Before you connect the Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card to the network,
you have to install the network driver first. The driver for each
networking operating system is under a separate directory. A
HELP.EXE file under root directory lists the information and detailed
installation procedure of all the available drivers.
LED INDICATORS
Link
This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to
1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Network.
Activity (ACT)
This indicator blinking green will be transmitting or received data
on the network.
