I NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the C1000SX Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card for 32/64-bit PCI Bus-equipped personal computers. The Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card is ideal for speeding up data transfers for network servers and other computers, such as those used for video-conferencing, that send and/or receive large amounts of data.
as computers and their busses get faster and more users use applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your subnets. Fiber Gigabit Ethernet enables Fiber cable connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications.
U NPACKING AND I NSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the 32/64-bit PCI Bus Gigabit fiber Ethernet card Unpacking CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the 64-bit PCI 1000Mbps Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit. However, there are special circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily high static charge, and possibly damage the card and/or your computer.
Installing Fiber Adapter into PCI slot Step 1: Turn off the power to the PC. Step 2: Remove any metal decorations from your hands and wrists. Step 3: Remove the cover from your PC. Step 4: Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering 32bit or 64bit PCI slot and remove the corresponding backplate. Save the screw for use in Step 6. Step 5: Carefully insert the Fiber Adapter into the chosen slot and press firmly with proper push to ensure it is fully seated in the slot.
Software Installation Before you connect the Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card to the network, you have to install the network driver first. The driver for each networking operating system is under a separate directory. A HELP.EXE file under root directory lists the information and detailed installation procedure of all the available drivers.
