CAUTION
CAUTION
FastFrame host adapters contain components that are
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
cause damage to the FastFrame host adapter. Please
follow standard methods to avoid ESD.
1
Install the latest drivers. Refer to Installing Drivers in the
FastFrame CNA Getting Started Guide or in Chapter 2 of
your FastFrame CNA Installation and Operation Manual.
2
Power down the computer and unplug the computer from all
power sources.
3
Open the case.
4
Install the FastFrame CNA in any open PCI Express
expansion slot. If you have questions about how to install an
expansion card in your system, consult your computer's
documentation.
Note
The FastFrame CNA fits into x8 or x16 mechanical PCI Express
slots.

until you hear a click.
6
Close the case on the computer and power it up.
Connect a 10GbE Fibre Network Cable
CAUTION
CAUTION
This product uses a Class 1M laser module. Viewing the laser
output with certain optical instruments designed for use at a
distance (for example, telescopes and binoculars) may pose an
eye hazard.
Remove and save the fiber optic connector cover. Insert a fiber
optic cable into the ports on the network adapter bracket as
shown.
Most connectors and ports are keyed for proper orientation. If
the cable you are using is not keyed, check to be sure the
connector is oriented properly (transmit port connected to
receive port on the link partner, and vice versa).
For ATTO FastFrame 10Gb Ethernet Adapters:
Laser wavelength: 850 nanometer
Cable type to use: Multi-mode fiber with 62.5µm or 50µm core
diameter
Connector type: LC.
Maximum cable length: 300 meters (with laser optimized).
The adapter must be connected to a compatible link partner,
such as an IEEE 802.3ae-compliant 10-gigabit switch, which is
operating at the same laser wavelength as the adapter.
SFP+ Devices with Pluggable Optics
Your ATTO FastFrame 10Gb CNA comes with ATTO supplied,
high performance optics and only these optics are supported.
5 Configure Network Settings
To configure your network settings, consult your System
Administrator or system documentation.
6
Configure your Adapter
Default settings are appropriate for most systems but you may
change settings using the ATTO ConfigTool, which is available
for download at
