Introduction
TheTransitionNetworks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7000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.

Hardware Installation Procedure
The FFC cable is shipped attached to the M.2 NIC. We recommend installing the M.2 NIC, then the Fiber OpticAdapter,
and then attach the loose end of the cable to the Fiber Optic Adapter.
Alternatively, you can attach the loose end of the FFC cable to the Fiber OpticAdapter, and then install the M.2 NIC or the
Fiber Optic Adapter.
1. Remove PC cover.
2. Install the M.2 NIC Assembly (with attached cable) into Motherboard M.2 Edge Connector.
3. Secure the M.2 NIC Assembly into place using the Securing Screw.
4. Install the Fiber Optic Adapter into the VGA opening in PC Case, as shown below.
5. Attach to PC Case using Black SEMS Screw #6-32x1/4”, and partially tighten to hold in place as shown below.
