Quick Installation Guide

Install the Gigabit Ethernet Copper Adapter

Perform the following steps to install the Gigabit Ethernet Copper Adapter:

1. Review the safety precautions listed in Safety and environmental notices.
2. Turn off and unplug your computer if it is not a Hot Plug system. Then remove its cover. For Hot Plug servers, see your server's documentation.

   Note:

   In the United Kingdom, you are required by law to disconnect the telephone line cable before disconnecting the AC power cord.

3. Remove the cover bracket from a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI busmaster slot (see Figure 1). If your computer has a 64-bit PCI slot, use it. In a 32-bit PCI slot, the end of the edge connector will be exposed and not connected. Make sure the exposed end does not contact any conducting part of the motherboard.

4. Carefully insert the Gigabit Ethernet Copper Adapter into the slot until the it is firmly seated. Then secure the adapter bracket with a screw.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each Gigabit Ethernet Copper Adapter you want to install.
6. Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord.
7. Turn the power on. The computer's PCI BIOS automatically assigns resources to the Gigabit Ethernet Copper Adapter. If you get a PCI configuration error, see Troubleshooting.
