Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware This chapter contains the following sections: “Reviewing Safety Precautions” on page 22 “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 24 “Installing a Network Adapter Card” on page 25 “Connecting the Network Cables” on page 29 21
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Reviewing Safety Precautions Please review the following safety precautions before you begin to install the network adapter card. Note The indicates that a translation of the safety statement is available in a PDF document titled “Translated Safety Statements” (613-000405) on the Allied Telesis website at www.alliedtelesis.com. Warning This is a “Class 1 LED product”. L1 Warning Do not stare into the laser beam.
AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapters Installation Guide wrists. - Use only insulated or nonconducting tools. - Verify that the system is powered OFF and unplugged before accessing internal components. - Installation or removal of adapters must be performed in a staticfree environment. The use of a properly grounded wrist strap or other personal antistatic devices and an antistatic mat is strongly recommended.
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Pre-Installation Checklist 1. Check that your system has an appropriate open PCI slot. 2. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS. 3. If your system is active, shut it down. 4. When system shut down is complete, power OFF and unplug your system. 5. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping package and place it on an antistatic surface. 6. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the card’s edge connector.
AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapters Installation Guide Installing a Network Adapter Card The following instructions apply to installing the Gigabit Ethernet adapter in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system. To install the network adapter card, perform the following procedure: 1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 24 and “Reviewing Safety Precautions” on page 22.
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware 3. Select an empty, non-shared PCI slot and remove the faceplate. Keep the faceplate in a safe place. You may need it for future use. See Figure 5. Figure 5. Removing the Faceplate From PCI Slot Note If you cannot locate or know how to find an appropriate PCI slot, refer to the documentation that came with your system. 4. Remove the network adapter card from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location.
AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapters Installation Guide Make sure the card is securely seated. See Figure 6. Figure 6. Inserting the Network Adapter Card Note The connector dock in a 32-bit PCI slot is shorter than in a 64-bit PCI slot. Although the AT-29xx series adapter is designed to fit in either slot type, when installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, part of the adapter’s connector edge remains undocked. This is part of normal operation.
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware 6. Secure the network adapter card to the chassis with a Phillips-head screw (not provided) as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7. Securing the Adapter Card 7. Replace the system’s cover and secure it with the screws removed in Step 2. 8. Disconnect any personal antistatic devices. 9. Power the system on. Once the system returns to proper operation, the adapter hardware is fully installed. Next, connect the network cables. See “Connecting the Network Cables” on page 29.
AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapters Installation Guide Connecting the Network Cables All the fiber Gigabit Ethernet network adapters have two fiber optic connectors for attaching the system to a compatible link partner, or an IEEE 802.3z compliant gigabit switch. After connecting the system to the network and power is supplied, the adapter performs auto-negotiation and attempts to establish the connection at 1000 Mbps full-duplex only.
