2-3 Ports
There are four LAN ports located on the AOC-2UR68G4-i4XTS add-on card and two
located on AOC-2UR68G4-i2XT. Connect a Direct Attach Copper Twin Axial cable
or an LC Fiber-Optic cable to the ports to provide Gigabit Ethernet communication.
Each connector has two ports. The RJ45 ports are for JLAN1, while the SFP+ con-
nector ports are for JSFP+1. Refer to the add-on card layout on Pages 2-1 through
2-3 for the locations of the ports.

SFP+ Port LEDs
The triangular LEDs will be placed as arrows to indicate which LAN it corresponds
to. For example, LED4 pointing upward indicates that it will signal the status for the
upper LAN4 port. The LED3 triangle pointing downwards indicates that it is for the
lower LAN3 port. For more information about the LED signals, see the table below.
RJ45 Port LEDs
Each RJ45 connector has two square LEDs. The LED on the left indicates link
speeds, and the LED on the right of the port indicates the status of activity of the
connector. See the table below for more information.

Installation
3-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid dam-
aging your add-on card, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally su󰀩cient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the add-on card from the
antistatic bag.
• Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components, or
peripheral chips.
• Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the add-on card.
Unpacking
The add-on card is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking your component or your system, make sure that the person handling it
is static protected.
Warning: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper
installation, be sure to always connect the power cord last, and always
remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.

3-2 Before Installation
To install the add-on card properly, be sure to follow the instructions below.
1. Power down the system.
2. Remove the power cord from the wall socket.
3. Use industry standard anti-static equipment (such as gloves or wrist strap)
and follow the instructions listed on Page 3-1 to avoid damage caused by
ESD.
4. Familiarize yourself with the server, motherboard, and/or chassis documenta-
tion.
5. Conrm that your operating system includes the latest updates and hotxes.
3-3 Installing the Add-on Card
Follow the steps below to install the add-on card into your system.
1. Remove the server cover and, if necessary, set aside any screws for later
use.
2. Remove the add-on card slot cover. If the case requires a screw, place the
screw aside for later use.
3. Position the add-on card in the slot directly over the connector, and gently
push down on both sides of the card until it slides into the PCI connector.
4. Secure the add-on card to the chassis. If required, use the screw that you
previously removed.
5. Attach any necessary external cables to the add-on card.
6. Replace the chassis cover.
7. Plug the power cord into the wall socket, and power up the system.

3-4 Installing Drivers for Windows
Follow the steps below to install the drivers needed for your Windows OS support.
The controller comes with a driver on the CD-ROM CDR-NIC.
1. Run the CDR-NIC. (If you do not have a product CD-ROM, download drivers
from the Supermicro Support Website and then transfer them to your system.)
2. When the SUPERMICRO window appears, click on the computer icon next to
the product model.
Note: If the FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD screen displays on your
system, click CANCEL.
3. Click on INSTALL DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

3-5 Installing Driver for Linux
Use the following procedures for installing AOC-2UR68G4-i4XTS and AOC-
2UR68G4-i2XT drivers for the Linux operating system.
1. Download the driver from the Supermicro CDR-NIC LAN driver CD or ftp://ftp.
supermicro.com/Networking_Drivers/CDR-NIC_1.62_for_Add-on_NIC_Cards/
Intel/LAN/PRO40GB/LINUX. Due to the continuous development of the Linux
kernel, the drivers are updated more often than the bundled releases. The
laterst driver can be found on http://downloadcenter.intel.com.
2. Choose the Intel driver package from LAN/PRO40GB/LINUX.
3. Copy the driver to the directory of your choice. For example:
/home/username/i40e
or
/usr/local/src/i40e
4. Untar/unzip archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar le:
tar zxf i40e-x.x.x.tar.gz
5. Change to the driver src directory, where <x.x.x> is the version number for
the driver tar:
cd i40e-x.x.x/src/
make install
This will install the Linux driver to your system. For more driver installation informa-
tion, please refer to the Intel Support Website.
