Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION:
Under ordinary circumstances, a DXE-810S card will not be affected by a static chargethat may be
received through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances, the user may carry
an extraordinarily high static charge and it is good practice to reduce the charge by touching a
ground before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. Ensure that the following items are included:
One DXE-810S PCI-EXPRESS 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card
DXE-810S Drivers and Manual on CD-ROM
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Software Installation
You must install the driver software for your DXE-810S before installing the PCI-EXPRESS card into your
PC. Insert the CD into your PC's CD-ROM drive. It should begin running the driver installation program, if
you have auto-execute enabled.
If you do not have auto-execute enabled for your PC's CD-ROM drive, navigate to the root directory of the
CD using Windows Explorer and click on the file named Autorun.exe. This will open the window shown
above. Then click the Install Driver link to install the driver.
The CD-ROM included with your DXE-810S is designed to make installation of necessary software a
painless and trouble-free process. Simply click on the Install Drivers link, and an Installation Wizard will guide
you through the process, no matter which operating system you're running. The included Adobe Acrobat
Reader, which is needed to read or print out your user manual, will also come in handy for many other
applications.
Simply follow the directions in the Wizard, and your DXE-810S will be installed successfully in just a few
minutes, allowing you to enjoy the many advantages of joining an Ethernet LAN.
When the driver installation program (shown above) is complete, you can then install the PCI-EXPRESS card
inside your PC. When you restart your PC, the DXE-810S will be ready to use.
Installing the Adapter
1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.
(Important: Opening the case of your computer may compromise the warranty of your computer.
Consult the computer manufacturer before opening the case to ensure that you adhere to warranty
guidelines. In some cases, you may need to have the DXE-810S installed by your computer
manufacturer.)
2. Insert the contact edge of the DXE-810S card into the connector of any available PCI-EXPRESS Bus
Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card's contacts are fully
seated in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.
4. Replace the computer's chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer's power cord, and switch computer power on.
