Introduction The 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit LAN adapter for use in personal computers with PCI computer bus slots. This adapter features a mini-GBIC fiber connector (SFP) for a 1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3z Ethernet network connection over optical fiber cable. The series provides different fiber transceiver types supporting short, middle, and long reach applications. Adapter Features Supports 32-bit 33/66MHz PCI of Rev.2.1/2.2/2.3 specifica- tion IEEE 802.

Board Components The figures show the major components on the adapters with PCI standard bracket and PCI low-profile bracket.
Adapter with PCI low-profile bracket No. Components Description 1 LINK LED This LED lights when the fiber connection is established. 2 SFP LED This LED lights when a mini-GBIC transceiver module is installed in the SFP slot. 3 OL LED This LED lights when optical signal is presented in the transceiver. 4 SFP Slot This slot supports mounting a mini-GBIC fiber transceiver.
Installing the Adapter Before installing the adapter, you need the following: • A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifications version 2.1 or later. • An available PCI bus master slot in the computer • The adapter driver diskettes (or CD supplied with the adapter) • Fiber cables Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot To install the adapter in your computer, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power to the computer. 2. Remove the computer's cover. 3.
Installing Mini-GBIC Transceiver A typical mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is shown as follows: To install a fiber transceiver into the SFP slot, the steps are: 1. Insert the fiber transceiver into the mini-GBIC SFP port. Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP transceiver. Hold the bail and make insertion. 2. Until the fiber transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position. The mini-GBIC SFP slot supports hot-plug installation even when the computer is powered and operating.
Connecting to the Network The rear bracket of the PCI adapter contains two fiber connectors. The TX connector is used for transmission and the RX is used for reception. When connecting to a device using fiber cable, make sure the TX connector of the adapter is connected to the RX connector of the device and RX connector is connected to the TX connector of the device.
Network Driver Installation After making the connection to the network, you must install the adapter network driver in order to connect the network adapter to your network operating system. The adapter driver media contain the latest versions of the network drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the factory. A file, \README.TXT, located in the diskette's root directory contains a list of the supported driver software and the directory structures for the supported operating environments.
LED Indicators The adapter has three LEDs. The interpretations of the LEDs are: LINK LED indicates an active 1000Mbps connection is established. On : Good link between the adapter and a remote device Off : No connection between adapter and a remote device Blink: Link on and traffic activities SFP LED indicates installation status of mini-GBIC transceiver On : Off : A mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is installed in the SFP slot. No transceiver is installed.
