Gigabit Adapter Introduction PCI's Gigabit Adapter is a Gigabit Ethernet network card for 32- and 64-bit PCI bus compliant computers. Operating under the 1000BASE-SX short-wavelength laser specification, this adapter provides up to ten times the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet over multimode fiber links. A true... -

System Requirements Before you install the Gigabit Adapter, check your system for the following requirements: • A PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later • An available bus-mastering 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot • 62.5/125 or 50/125 µm multimode fiber cable with SC connectors •... -
Page 4: Installation
Gigabit Adapter Installation Warnings: · This network adapter requires a PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later. If you are installing in an older PC model, upgrade the BIOS to the latest version. · Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid touching its electrical components and always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card. -

SC connector on the network card and 62.5/125 or 50/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable. Note that for 62.5/125 µm cable with ST connectors, PCI provides an optional SC to ST plug converter . The attached device must be within the distance limitations specified by the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX specification. -

“Properties” button for the card in the “Network” control panel applet. Using this utility you can perform the following procedures: • View the adapter’s status and PCI setup information. • Configure the adapter’s advanced properties, such as link parameters, Packet Propulsion threshold and Jumbo Frame support. -
Page 7: Network Card Information
Quick Installation Guide Network Card Information Select the “Properties” tab in the utility window to view the network card status information and to set a locally administered network address. Locally Administered Network Address This field lets you set a local network MAC address to override the “Permanent Network Address.”... -

Propulsion technology is used to burst packets across the PCI bus. Propulsion increases the throughput of small packets by coalescing transfers across the PCI bus. This minimizes host CPU interrupts and bus arbitrations. Use the slider control or edit box to set the packet-size threshold level in bytes (from 0 to 1514, or 9014 if Jumbo Frames is selected). -

Quick Installation Guide the PC hardware, other devices on the PCI bus, and the applications being run. Considering all the variables involved, it is recommended to experiment with the Packet Propulsion threshold to find the setting that maximizes the performance of the Gigabit Adapter in your system. -
Page 10: Using Vlans
Gigabit Adapter Using VLANs The Gigabit Adapter supports the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard and can be configured to participate in a network with other devices that use VLANs. An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment. -
Page 11: Vlan Capabilities
Quick Installation Guide The first entry at the top of the table is the VLAN ID that is used in outbound VLAN tagged frames from the adapter. All entries in the table are used for filtering inbound frames with unlisted VLAN IDs. Note that the switch port the adapter is connected to should be assigned to the VLAN groups specified in the table or permit automatic VLAN registration with GVRP. -
Page 12: Local Tests
Gigabit Adapter Local Tests These tests can be used to test the basic functions of the adapter. Select the “Run Loopback Tests” and “Run Internal Tests” check boxes either together or separately. The tests to be performed will show “Ready” as the status in the test list box. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Bus Specification v2.0 or later and upgrade your computer BIOS to the latest version. • Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled busmaster slot and not a slave PCI slot. In some computers the PCI slot must be configured to enable bus mastering. Refer to your PC’s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program to be sure the PCI slot is an enabled busmaster slot. -
Page 14: Adapter Installation Problems
• Make sure the adapter is securely seated in the PCI slot. Check for any hardware problems, such as physical damage to the card’s edge connector. • Try the card in another PCI busmaster slot. If all fails, test with another Gigabit Adapter that is known to operate correctly. -
