JCAT NET CARD XE EVO Quick Start Manual

NET CARD XE EVO – QUICK START GUIDE
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the JCAT NET Card XE EVO. This Quick Start Guide is designed to
guide you through installation.
Package Content
• JCAT NET Card XE EVO
• Low-profile PCI Express bracket (the card comes with the full-height bracket installed)
Installation Requirements
• PC with one free x1-x16 lane PCI Express 2.0/3.0 slot
• 5V/1.5A power supply (JCAT PSUs recommended for best performance)
System Requirements
• Linux, Microsoft Windows (all editions) & Mac OS 10.14 or later
• Drivers for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS load automatically
Installation
• The 5V power supply for the card can be provided by the computer's PSU via the J5 LP4
Molex connector. However, it is recommended to connect a linear 5V/1.5A power supply
through the J6 DC input (5.5/2.1 mm center positive) for optimal performance. This ensures
only clean power is supplied to the card's controller and clock. • Only one power source
should be connected at a time; the card will automatically detect the source.
• The card is equipped with two RJ45 ports.
Clock Settings
• The card comes with a single jumper (J5) to select the clock source:
•
OCXO (default) – uses the onboard OCXO clock.
•
EXT_CLK – uses an external clock, such as the JCAT Master OCXO Clock. To switch to
the external clock, move the jumper to EXT_CLK.
