Installing the Asanté GigaNIC
▲ Keep all rubber caps for future use, When not connected
and not in use, the rubber caps should be reinstalled to
protect the optics.
▲ If the SC connector is not properly seated, a network
connection will not be achieved.
▲ Warning : The Asanté GigaNIC adapter for PCI uses
lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. These
signals conform to FDA, UL, and TUV standards for Class
I (inherently eye-safe) lasers. This is an eye-safe laser
(FDA CHRH21-1040 and IEC 825 Class 1), but staring
directly into the transceiver should be avoided.

Testing the Adapter
Conducting a test is recommended after performing a first-time installation
of the Asanté GigaNIC adapter for PCI. A successful test ensures that the
Asanté GigaNIC adapter for PCI is operating properly. A diagnostic program
for testing the adapter is included on the Driver Disk. This program runs a
number of tests and indicates the results with PASS or FAIL.
Please refer to “Using the Diagnostic Program” on page 4-15 for instructions
