Refer to the table to set the parameters in the entry fields
Entry Field Description
NIC Detected Adapter Instance: To distinguish multimode network cards installed
in the system, each is assigned a unique instance number. Typically,
the first network card detected is instance 1, and the next is
instance 2.
Bus: Shows on which PCI bus the network card is operating. The
number shown is typically 0 for a system with up to 4 PCI slots
on its bus. The number may be slightly higher for servers with more
than 4 PCI slots.
Slot: Shows the PCI slot number where the Gigabit Ethernet Card
is installed.
Link Negotiation Enabled When checked (default): 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet Link
Negotiation is used. All Model GA620 and Model GA620T Gigabit
Ethernet Cards use Link Negotiation by default.
When unchecked: Link Negotiation is disabled and only link signal
detection is used. Use this setting when connecting to Gigabit
Ethernet equipment that does not support Link Negotiation or if
there is a problem establishing a link between the card and the
connecting device. The link is set for 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode.
Be sure that the connecting device uses the same duplex mode and
speed settings.
Rx Flow Control Enabled When checked (default) and link negotiation is enabled: The card
negotiates 802.3x receive flow control with the device at the other
end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other
device, receive flow control is enabled.
When unchecked or link negotiation is disabled: Receive flow
control is disabled.
Tx Flow Control Enabled When checked (default) and link negotiation is enabled: The card
negotiates 802.3x transmit flow control with the device at the other
end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other
device, transmit flow control is enabled.
When unchecked or link negotiation is disabled, transmit flow
control is disabled.
Jumbo Frames Enabled When unchecked (default), only standard-size Ethernet frames
will be sent. Use this setting when connecting to Gigabit Ethernet
equipment that does not support Jumbo Frames.
9. Click on "OK" to accept the changed parameters.
The Network window opens.
10.Click on "Close."
If other cards in your server use TCP/IP bindings, the Microsoft TCP/IP Properties window opens.
Set any necessary TCP/IP configurations, and then click on "OK" when finished.
11.Click on "Yes" when prompted to restart your computer.
The system restarts using the new driver and configuration settings.
CHANGING CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
To configure Link negotiation, RX (receive) flow control, or TX (transmit) flow control card parameters:
1. From the Start Menu on the Windows desktop, select "Settings" and then "Control Panel."
The Control Panel window opens.
2. Double-click on the Network icon.
The Network window opens.
3. Click on the "Adapters" tab.
4. Click on "NETGEAR GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card," and then click on "Properties."
The Properties window opens.
5. Click on the parameter boxes to disable (not selected) or enable (selected) the parameter.
6. Click on "OK" to accept the settings.

regulations may, however, be subject to certain restrictions. Please refer to the notes in the operating
instructions.
Federal Office for Telecommunications Approvals has been notified of the placing of this equipment on
the market and has been granted the right to test the series for compliance with the regulations.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice
Note: Modifications to this device change it from the original state it was in when tested and may
alter the device so that it no longer complies with FCC testing limitations for Class B digital devices.
According to FCC regulations, the user could be prevented from operating this equipment if it
is modified.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: The NETGEAR Model GA620 and Model GA620T Gigabit Ethernet cards have been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
