Product Description
The Lantronix NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 and 01-D are 1 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber NICs supporting the PCI Express M.2
specification. They are designed to install in the Dell OptiPlex 7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7040/7050 Series
thin clients.
M.2 is known as the “next generation form factor” and is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards
and associated connectors. Desktop PCs are being replaced by smaller computing devices (such as Thin Clients, Micro
PCs, Ultrabooks, and Tablets) which typically have internal M.2 interfaces but do not have PCI or PCIe slots.
Many users still need fiber Ethernet access, and without the external PCIe slot, there is no standard fiber interface on
these devices.
See the Dell OptiPlex 7040M Owner's Manual for important notes, cautions, and warnings. Read the section “Before
working inside your computer”before proceeding.

Lantronix M.2 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Network Interface Card (NIC) provides a fiber optic interface for the Dell OptiPlex™
7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7040/7050 Series thin clients. The NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 or NM2-GXE-2230-xx-
01-D consist of a M.2 NIC that installs into the OptiPlex Micro PC’s M.2 “E key” interface, a fiber optic adapter that installs
into the OptiPlex Micro PC’s Option port, and a 20-pin Flat Flex Cable (FFC) with right-angle bend that connects the NIC
to the fiber adapter. The fiber optic adapter is available with either a 1000Base-SX LC optic or open SFP (SFP module
sold separately).

CAUTION: Only qualified persons should install the NIC. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor performance
or damage to the equipment. Before installing the NIC, review the Pre-Installation Checklist and Safety Precautions
below.
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the NIC in a system.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the NIC. Before installing the NIC, review the Pre-Installation
Checklist and Safety Precautions below. Before installing the NIC, ensure that system power is OFF, the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding procedure has been followed.
WARNING: High voltage inside the system may present a safety hazard. Make sure that the system power is off before
removing the cover. Unplug and disconnect the PC and then wait for 15-20 seconds before plugging the PoE NIC into the
PC. When removing the NIC, unplug the Ethernet cable before removing the PC cover.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your NIC, review the preceding sections, and then verify the following:
1. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS.
2. If you download the driver software, record the path where you saved the downloads.
3. If your system is active, shut it down. Do not install the NIC until system power is completely removed. When system
shutdown is complete, power OFF and unplug your system.
4. Holding the NIC by the edges, remove it from its shipping package and place it on an antistatic surface.
5. Check the NIC for signs of damage, particularly on the PCB edge connector. CAUTION: Never attempt to install a
damaged NIC card. If the NIC is damaged, report it to Lantronix.
6. CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the NIC in a
system. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the NIC. Before installing the NIC, ensure that system
power is OFF, the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding procedures have
been followed.
7. CAUTION: Install the NIC in an operating environment where the temperature range is from 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to
+113 °F), with relative humidity of 5% to 90% non-condensing. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor
equipment performance.
8. CAUTION: DO NOT install the NIC in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor equipment performance and data corruption.
