How to Use This Guide
The Intel® PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter allows companies to build
cost-effective Storage Area Networks (SANs) using standard LAN/
Ethernet infrastructure. It uses the new, open iSCSI standard to transmit
SCSI storage data over native Ethernet networks, dramatically lowering the
total cost of ownership for storage networks while still offering increased
reliability, availability, scalability, and manageability of stored data. This
adapter is designed to optimize PCI server bus architecture with 66 MHz/
64-bit performance for high-end storage environments, and connects
devices located anywhere on an Ethernet network.
This Quick Installation Guide provides information on how to install the
PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter, how to download Windows and Linux
drivers, and basic adapter configuration information. For complete details
on adapter configuration and maintenance, refer to the PRO/1000 T IP
Storage Adapter User Configuration Guide on the CD-ROM.

System Requirements
Before installing the Intel PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter, check your
system for the following minimum configuration requirements:
• One open 32-bit or 64-bit bus master PCI slot
•64MBofsystemmemory
•ThelatestBIOSforyourcomputer
• Microsoft Windows*^ 2000 (SP2 or later), Windows NT*^ 4.0 (SP 6 or
later), Linux Red Hat* version 7.1 (2.4 kernel)
• Category 5, twisted-pair cabling for 100/1000 Mbps operation, and an
802.3ab-compliant gigabit switch such as the Intel® NetStructure™
480T switch. For best results at 1000 Mbps, use CAT 5e cabling.
^You can download the necessary software patches from Microsoft (see below).
Microsoft Service Packs
Visit the following Microsoft web site for the latest Service Pack

Inserting the Adapter in the Computer
1. Turn off and unplug your computer if it is not a Hot Plug system. For
Hot Plug servers, see your server’s documentation.
2. Remove the cover from the computer.
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the computer before remov-
ing the computer cover. Failure to do so could endanger you
and may damage the adapter or computer.
3. Remove the cover bracket from the 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus master
slot. A 64-bit slot should be used whenever possible. In a 32-bit PCI
slot, the end of the edge connector will be exposed and not connected.
Make sure the exposed end does not contact any conducting part of the
motherboard (see Figure 1).
NOTE: The NIC cards in the PCI bus slots in Figure 1 are for illustration
purposes only to show ease of installation. The actual PRO/1000
T IP Storage Adapter card is longer and contains more compo-
nents than the NICs depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Adapter card being inserted in PCI bus master slots
4. Press the adapter into the slot until the adapter is firmly seated. Secure
the adapter bracket.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each adapter you want to install.
6. Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord.
7. Turn the power on. The computer PCI BIOS automatically assigns
resources to the adapter(s). If you receive a PCI configuration error, see
“Troubleshooting” in the User Configuration Guide on the CD.

Attaching the Network Cable
RJ-45 Adapter
Insert the Category 5 twisted pair RJ-45 network cable into the adapter
connector, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. RJ-45 network cable being inserted into an adapter connector
For 1000Base-T or 100Base-TX, you must use Category 5 network cable
(four twisted-pair wiring). If you plan to run the adapter at 1000 Mbps, it
must be connected to a compatible 1000 Mbps switch.
NOTE: Most compatible switches do not support all three speeds
(10/100/1000) on a single port. Refer to the switch documenta-
tion for details.
For 10Base-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. Residential
environments require the use of a Category 5 cable.
