*Note: Actual image may vary
 Follow the instructions on screen to install the driver.
2.3.2 Installation for Linux
1. Insert the provided CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Extract the compressed driver source file to a certain directory by
the following command: (Please copy the driver file
“tn40xx-x.x.x.x.tgz” from the CD folder
“.\Driver\10G\TN4010\Linux” to a certain folder on hard drive)
# tar xf tn40xx-x.x.x.x.tgz
3. Now, the driver source files should be extracted under the current
directory. Executing the following command to compile the
driver:
MN5000000055 Page 8

# make
4. If the compilation is well, the tn40xx.ko will be created under the
current directory.
5. If you want to use modprobe command to mount the driver,
executing the following command to install the driver into your
kernel:
# make install
2.4 Verifying the installation
2.4.1 Verifying for Windows
1. Click on the “Device Manager” tab in the Windows Control
Panel.
Start > Control Panel > Device Manager
2. Entry “Network adapters” item, and you can read “Tehuti
MN5000000055 Page 9

Networks 10GbE Adapter” in the Device Manager.
2.4.2 Verifying for Linux
1. You can check whether the driver is loading by using following
commands:
# lsmod | grep tn40xx
# ifconfig –a
If there is a device name, ethX, shown on the monitor, the linux
driver is load. Then, you can use the following command to
activate the ethX.
# ifconfig ethX up, where X=0,1,2,…
