4 Hardware Installation
Note
If you are replacing an existing adapter with a new
adapter, you must re-install the driver.
Insert a PCI Express Adapter in the Server
1 Turn off the server and unplug the power
cord, then remove the server's cover.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Turn off and unplug the server before removing the
server's cover. Failure to do so could endanger you and
may damage the adapter or server.
2 Remove the cover bracket from a PCI
Express slot (v1.0a or later).
PCI-Express slots and adapters vary in the
number of connectors present, depending on
the data lanes being supported.
3 Insert the adapter in an available, compatible
PCI Express slot. Push the adapter into the
slot until the adapter is firmly seated. The
adapter can be installed in x8 or x16
mechanical PCIe slot.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Some PCI-Express adapters may have a short connector,
making them more fragile than PCI adapters. Excessive
force could break the connector. Use caution when
pressing the board in the slot.
4 Repeat steps 2 through 3 for each adapter
you want to install.
5 Replace the server cover and plug in the
power cord.
6 Turn the power on.
Connect a 10GbE Fibre Network Cable
CAUTIONCAUTION
This product uses a Class 1M laser module. Viewing the
laser output with certain optical instruments designed for
use at a distance (for example, telescopes and binoculars)
may pose an eye hazard.
Remove and save the fiber optic connector
cover. Insert a fiber optic cable into the ports on
the network adapter bracket.
Most connectors and ports are keyed for proper
orientation. If the cable you are using is not
keyed, check to be sure the connector is
oriented properly (transmit port connected to
receive port on the link partner, and vice versa).
For ATTO FastFrame 10Gb Ethernet Adapters:
Laser wavelength: 850 nanometer
Cable type to use: Multi-mode fiber with 62.5µm
or 50µm core diameter
Connector type: LC.
Maximum cable length: 300 meters (with laser
optimized).
The adapter must be connected to a compatible
link partner, such as an IEEE 802.3ae-compliant
10-gigabit switch, which is operating at the same
laser wavelength as the adapter.
5 Configure Network Settings
To configure your network settings, consult your
System Administrator or System
Documentation.
6 Configure your Adapter
Default settings are appropriate for most
systems but you may change settings using the
Device Manager in Windows, EthTool in Linux
or Network section of System Preferences in OS
X.
