I NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for 32/64-bit PCI Busequipped personal computers. The LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter 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.
u u u 802.3x Full duplex flow control, including automatic transmission of Pause frames based on Rx FIFO thresholds 802.1D and 802.1Q priority queuing support. Supports multiple priority queues in both transmit and receive directions. Six LED indicators for easy diagnostic Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.
data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
U NPACKING AND I NSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. Unpacking CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit.
Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Card 1. Shut down the computer, unplugs its power cord, and remove the chassis cover. 2. Insert the contact edge of the Gigabit Ethernet card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are fully seated in the connector, This card can put either in 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot, but it is recommended that the card to put in the 64bit PCI slot to have the maximum performance. 3.
Connecting the Network Cable Four pair of Cat.5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connector is required for the LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. You can use standard or crossover cable to connect the switch MDI-X or MDI-II port, because the LevelOne GNC-0101T 64bit 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter will adjust the correct signal automatically.
LED INDICATORS 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Link (1000) This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Network. 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Link (100) This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Network. 10Mbps Fast Ethernet Link (10) This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to 10Mbps Ethernet Network.
