Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Notice: The changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority
to operate the equipment.

Installing theAdapter
Before installing the adapter, you need the following:
• A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifica-
tions version 2.1 or later.
• An available PCI bus master slot in the computer
• The adapter driver diskettes (or CD supplied with the adapter)
• Fiber cables
Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot
To install the adapter in your computer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to the computer.
2. Remove the computer's cover.
3. Unscrew and remove the slot cover from the PCI bus slot.
4. Insert the adapter into the slot and secure the screw.
5. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all previously
connected cables.

Installing Mini-GBIC Transceiver
A typical mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is shown as follows:
To install a fiber transceiver into the SFP slot, the steps are:
1. Insert the fiber transceiver into the mini-GBIC SFP port.
Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP transceiver. Hold the
bail and make insertion.
2. Until the fiber transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place
the bail in lock position.
The mini-GBIC SFP slot supports hot-plug installation even when
the computer is powered and operating.

10
Connecting to the Network
The rear bracket of the PCI adapter contains two fiber connectors.
The TX connector is used for transmission and the RX is used for
reception. When connecting to a device using fiber cable, make sure
the TX connector of the adapter is connected to the RX connector
of the device and RX connector is connected to the TX connector of
the device.
In order to have a reliable communication between two ends, the
speed and duplex configuration of the adapter's fiber port and the
device at the remote end must be same. Configure the driver of the
adapter as follows: Auto, 1000Mbps, Full-duplex.

11
NetworkDriver Installation
After making the connection to the network, you must install the
adapter network driver in order to connect the network adapter to
your network operating system.
The adapter driver media contains the latest versions of the network
drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the factory. A
file, \README.TXT, located in the associated product directory
contains a list of the supported driver software and the directory
structures for the supported operating environments. Please refer
to this file first before installing any network driver for the adapter.
Installation for Windows Systems
For adapter installation on Windows server 2008, Windows 7 and
Fedora 13, the systems will detect and configure the drivers for the
adapter automatically with noneedforextradriversetup.The adapter
is detected as :
Win Server 2008 RTL PCI GbE Family Controller
Windows 7 RTL PCI GbE Family Controller
Fedora 13 Realtek RTL8169 FamilyGigabit EthernetNIC
Using the Associated Drivers in the driver CD
After driver setup, the adapter is identified as :
Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Link Speed/Duplex Mode options : Auto-negotiation
Installation for other Systems
Refer to \README.TXT first in the driver CD for the driver instal-
lation on other operating systems. The file contains driver informa-
tion for most of the popular operating systems.

12
LED Indicators
The adapter has three LEDs. The interpretations of the LEDs are:
LINK LED indicates anactive1000Mbpsconnectionis established.
On : Good link between the adapter and a remote device
Off : No connection between adapter and a remote device
Blink: Link on and traffic activities
SFPLED indicates installation status of mini-GBIC transceiver
On : A mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is installed in the SFP slot.
Off : No transceiver is installed.
OLLED indicates optical signal status
On : Optical signal is detected.
Off : No optical signal is detected.
If you experience any problems, first make sure that the appropri-
ate driver is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the connector,
and the connected device complies with 1000BASE-X standard.
Then recheck the LED.
