LAN Ports
The AOC-ATG-b2TM and AOC-ATG-b2TG has two network LAN ports. These LAN
ports support connection speeds up to 10Gbps. Plug the Direct Attached Copper
(DAC) cable into the port for network connections.
Note: To make sure that LAN port functions properly, be sure to use the
following cable specied by the manufacturer:
• Direct-attached twin-axial copper cable, or
• Short Range or Long Range ber optic cable used in conjunction with
optional optical transceiver.

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between
optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of
the connector. Pin 1 is identied with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board.

2-5 Major Components of AIOM Module
The major components of the Supermicro®Advanced I/O Modules (AIOM) are the
card and bracket. Before a computer system can operate, all slots are required to
be populated. If an AIOM module is used, be sure that the bracket is rmly installed
into the chassis. This will ensure that the card that is installed to the bracket is
seated securely in the motherboard connector. For instructions on how to install
and uninstall an AIOM module please refer to chapter 3.

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 suf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.
• Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excel-
lent 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 system, make sure that you are static protected.
Note: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper instal-
lation, always connect the power cord last, and always unplug it before
adding, removing, or changing any hardware components.

Super AOC-ATG-b2T(M)(G) Add-on Card User's Guide
3-2 Before Installation
Before you install the add-on card, follow the instructions below.
1. Power down the system.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Use industry-standard anti-static equipment such as gloves or a wrist strap
and follow the precautions 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.
