Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
PCI Express is the next revolution in I/O interconnect standards that
will deliver the bandwidth and features required by PCs, consumer
electronics and communications devices. The architecture is a
cost-effective, low-pin count, and point-to-point technologies offering
maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and design complexity and
enabling smaller form factors. This card is the best solution for Gigabit
Ethernet PCI Express and the interface has a potential transfer rates of
2.5 Gbps using a single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link.
This card is a 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card, which is
specifically designed to plug into a desktop equipped with an available
x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slot. It supports high performance dual
channel networking and full duplex communication to achieve up to
2000 Mbps and fast transfer rates, yet is compatible with existing
Ethernet. It comes with a comprehensive of software drives for all
desktop operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Linux.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Tips
The computer can NOT detect the 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
Card
1. Make sure that the PCI Express card is correctly plugged into
the PCI Express slot; if not, turn off the computer and plug it
again.
2. If the PCI Express card is plugged in correctly, see if the
golden connectors on the card are clean; if not, clean the
connector surface.
3. If still NOT, please change another PCI Express slot on your
motherboard.
4. Please upgrade your motherboard BIOS to the latest version.
If it still not work, contact your motherboard vendor asking
the advanced supporting for BIOS updated.

5. The board itself might be defective. You can try another
motherboard testing 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card
working or not.
Computer failed to start after inserting the 4-Port Gigabit
Ethernet PCIe Card
Turn off the computer, remove the 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card,
and try to restart the computer. If the computer starts successfully, it
means that the card has not been inserted into the PCI Express slot
correctly. Please clean golden figure by rubber firstly, then change
another PCI Express slot.
I can not use Gigabit Ethernet transfer speed
1. Please affirm your Ethernet environment supporting Gigabit
structure.
2. Please use CAT 6 UTP/STP cable.
