2. Hardware Installation

Follow these steps to install Chelsio Adapter in your system:
1. Shutdown/power off your system.
2. Power off all remaining peripherals attached to your system.
3. Unpack the Chelsio adapter and place it on an anti-static surface.
4. Remove the system case cover according to the system manufacturer's instructions.
5. Remove the PCI filler plate from the slot where you will install the 10Gb Ethernet adapter.
6. For maximum performance, it is highly recommended to install the adapter into a PCIE
x8/x16 slot.
7. Holding the Chelsio adapter by the edges, align the edge connector with the PCI connector
on the motherboard. Apply even pressure on both edges until the card is firmly seated. It
may be necessary to remove the SFP (transceiver) modules prior to inserting the adapter.
8. Secure the Chelsio adapter with a screw, or other securing mechanism, as described by the
system manufacturer's instructions. Replace the case cover.
9. After securing the card, ensure that the card is still fully seated in the PCIE x8 slot as
sometimes the process of securing the card causes the card to become unseated.
10. Connect a fiber cable, multi-mode for short range (SR) optics or single-mode for long range
(LR) optics, to the 40/10Gb Ethernet adapter or regular Ethernet cable for the 1Gb Ethernet
adapter.
11. Power on your system.
12. Verify if the Chelsio adapter was installed successfully by using the following command:
