computer's boot program is Plug-and-Play compliant,
then at power-up the BIOS will automatically configure
any newly installed 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Card.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens
occasionally that a newly installed adapter is assigned an
Interrupt Number which is already assigned to another device.
In such a case, the conflicting Interrupt Numbers will cause
faults in the behavior of both devices. It is then necessary to
run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-
conflicting Interrupt Number.
Connecting the Network Cable
Multimode (62.5/125µm or 50/125µm) fiber cabling with an
IEEE recommended SC connector is required for the adapter.
Use either one duplex SC connector, or two simplex SC
connectors, and observe the correct relationship between the
receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) ports on the adapter and
switch. The Tx port on the switch should connect to the Rx
port on the adapter. Likewise, the Rx port on the switch
should connect to the Tx port on the adapter. If there is a
need to monitor the adapter's faceplate LEDs, make sure the
rear of the PC or workstation is accessible and leave
sufficient clearance for cabling and service.
