Introduction
The Transition Networks NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 and 01-D are 1 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber NICs supporting the PCI Express
M.2 specification. They are designed to install in the Dell OptiPlex 7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7000 Series
thin clients.
M.2 is known as the "next generation form factor" and is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion
cards and associated connectors. Desktop PCs are being replaced by smaller computing devices (such as Thin Clients,
Micro PCs, Ultrabooks, and Tablets) which typically have internal M.2 interfaces but do not have PCI or PCIe slots.
Many users still need fiber Ethernet access, and without the external PCIe slot, there is no standard fiber interface on
these devices.
See the Dell OptiPlex 7040M Owner's Manual for important notes, cautions, and warnings. Read the section "Before
working inside your computer" before proceeding.

Page 8: Pre-Installation Checklist
NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 Install Guide Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your NIC, review the preceding sections, and then verify the following: 1. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS. 2. If you download the driver software, record the path where you saved the downloads. 3. If your system is active, shut it down. Do not install the NIC until system power is completely removed. When system shutdown is complete, power OFF and unplug your system. 4. Holding the NIC by the edges, remove it from its shipping package and place it on an antistatic surface. 5. Check the NIC for signs of damage, particularly on the PCB edge connector. CAUTION: Never attempt to install a damaged NIC card. If the NIC is damaged, report it to Transition Networks. 6. CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the NIC in a system. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the NIC. Before installing the NIC, ensure that system power is OFF, the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding procedures have been followed. 7. CAUTION: Install the NIC in an operating environment where the temperature range is from 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113 °F), with relative humidity of 5% to 90% non‐condensing. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor equipment performance. 8. CAUTION: DO NOT install the NIC in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor equipment performance and data corruption. NM2‐GXE‐2230‐LC‐01 and NM2‐GXE‐2230‐LC‐01‐D NM2‐GXE‐2230‐SFP‐01 and NM2‐GXE‐2230‐SFP‐01‐D 33724 Rev.
