Product Overview
Package Contents
1 x TEG-ECSFP
Quick Installation Guide
CD-ROM (Driver & User’s Guide)
Features
The SFP PCIe Adapter, model TEG-ECSFP, is a Gigabit fiber network adapter which is
compatible with standard SFP modules and PCI Express slots.
Full-Duplex technology generates data rates of up to 2 Gbps over a motherboard’s high-
speed PCI Express Bus architecture. Jumbo Frame support further optimizes throughput
performance.
Supports SNMP v1, Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.1, VLAN tagging, and Layer
2 Priority Tagging. Optimizes power consumption with advanced Configuration Power
Management Interface 2.0 (ACPI) technology. Diagnostic LEDs help with network
troubleshooting. Compatible with Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server
2008, and Linux operating systems.
1000-Base SFP slot compatible with standard SFP modules
Data rates of up to 2 Gbps over a high performance PCI Express architecture
Supports SNMP v1, PXE, VLAN Tagging, and Layer 2 Priority Tagging
Energy savings with ACPI 2.0 functionality
Compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Linux
operating systems

Installation - Hardware
Adapter
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove any metal object from your hand and wrists to prevent shocks
3. Remove the cover from your computer’s towel
4. Locate an empty PCI Express slot and remove the corresponding back plate. Save
the screws for use in step 6.
5. Carefully insert the PCI Express adapter into the slot and ensure the adapter is
firmly seated in the slot.
6. Secure the PCI Express adapter with the screws that you saved in step 4.
7. Replace the PC cover
Fiber Cable
This section describes how to connect the TEG-ECSFP to a 1000Mbps fiber-based
Ethernet Network, which contributes to its optimal performance.
Please ensure that you installed the TEG-ECSFP into the computer before installing the
driver.
1. Remove the protective rubber covers from the TEG-ECSFP.
2. Insert a mini-GBIC module into the TEG-ECSFP and another mini-GBIC module
into the fiber Network (see next page for Network illustration). The TEG-ECSFP
does not support 10/100 Mbps fiber modules. The mini-GBIC module has to be
Gigabit.
3. Prepare a LC type of fiber cable for the mini-GBICmodules. Connect one end of
fiber cable to mini-GBIC module and connect the other end of the fiber cable
into another mini-GBIC module.*
Note:
The fiber cable comes with a pair. Some of them may mark as Transmitter (TX)
and Receiver (RX), some of them may be color coded or have letters on each
end. Make sure that you have one end (TX) of the fiber cable connects to the
TX port of the TEG-ECSFP and have the other end of the (TX) connects to the
fiber’s network device’s RX port as example showed below.
The LC type of fiber cable is for TEG-ECSFP to mini-GBIC usage. If you have
other type of fiber network in your network, you might seek suitable cable for
your usage, for example, LC to LC or LC to SC.

4. Turn on the computer
5. Windows will automatic install the driver.
6. Check the LNK (link) LED on the TEG-ECSFP. The LNK LED will be steady on to
indicate the Network connection is established.
