AOC-AG-i8 Add-on Card User's Guide Before Installation Before you install the add-on card, follow the instructions below. 1. Power down the system. 2. Unplug the power cord. 3. Use industry-standard anti-static equipment such as gloves or a wrist strap and follow the precautions on page 3-1 to avoid damage caused by ESD. - Page 19 Chapter 3: Installation B. Installing an AIOM module (Reinstalling an AIOM module into an empty slot) 1. Position the AIOM module in front of the empty slot and gently push onto the metal bracket (do not use the blue latch). The AIOM module should slide into the chassis until the card securely seated in the connector.

Chapter 3: Installation Installing Drivers on Windows (for Intel® i350-AM4) Follow the steps below to install the drivers for the Windows operating systems. Download the drivers from Intel Download Center or the Supermicro site at https:// www.supermicro.com/wftp/Networking_Drivers. 1. Run CDR-NIC. - Page 22 AOC-AG-i8 Add-on Card User's Guide Build a Binary RPM Package 1. Run ‘rpmbuild -tb <filename.tar.gz>’ 2. Replace <filename.tar.gz> with the specific filename of the driver. Note: For the build to work properly, the current running kernel MUST match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If you have just recompiled the kernel, reboot the system at this time.

Chapter 3: Installation 1. Load the module: For kernel 2.6.x, use the modprobe command: modprobe igb <parameter>=<value> For 2.6 kernels, the insmod command can be used if the full path to the driver module is specified. For example: insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ igb/igb.ko In addition, when using 2.6-based kernels, make sure that older igb drivers are removed from the kernel before loading the new module. - Page 24 AOC-AG-i8 Add-on Card User's Guide 1. To load the driver onto a running system, perform the following steps: cd igb-x.x.x make cd igb-x.x.x/src make load 2. To assign an IP address to the interface, enter the following: ifconfig igb<interface_num> <IP_address>...
- Page 25 Chapter 3: Installation 1. If you want to compile the driver into the kernel, enter: cd igb-x.x.x/src mkdir /usr/src/sys/dev/igb cp if_igb* /usr/src/sys/dev/igb cp igb* /usr/src/sys/dev/igb cp Makefile.kernel /usr/src/sys/modules/igb/Makefile Edit the /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 file, and add the following line: dev/igb/igb_hw.c optional igb dev/igb/igb_ee.c optional igb dev/igb/if_igb.c optional igb Remove the following lines from the /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 file, if they exist:...
