Chapter 3: Hardware Installation 3. Hardware Installation The following instructions apply to installing the 100BASE-FX PCI-Express Fiber Adapter in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system. To install the fiber adapter, follow these steps: 1. High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure the power is off before removing the cover.
Chapter 3: Hardware Installation Figure 3-2. Removing the faceplate from PCI slot. 4. Remove the fiber card from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location. CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the fiber card in a system. Failure to observe this caution could damage the card. 5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the fiber card until it is firmly seated in the PCI Express slot.

Chapter 4: PCI-Express System and Configuration 4. PCI-Express System and Configuration Make sure that the PCI-Express PC supports master slots, INT multiple sharing, and timing compatibility. Do not install 100BASE-FX PCI-Express Fiber Adapter in PCI slave slots. Refer to your PCI system manual and select the appropriate configuration settings. When installing multiple fiber adapters at the server station, correctly configure the IRQ settings of the PCI slot.
Chapter 5: Network Connection 5. Network Connection A 100BASE-FX network allows 512-bit time delay between any two node stations in a collision domain. The fiber cable with devices’ bit-time delay (round trip) is as below: Number DTE to DTE Class II Hub Fiber Cable 100BASE-FX 100 92 1m The overall bit time of fiber wires and devices must be within 512 bits in a segment. You may use a switching hub to break up collision domain and extend the cabling distance.
Chapter 6: Network Remote Boot Configuration 6. Network Remote Boot Configuration 1. Select remote boot type. From the MBA Configuration Menu, select Remote Boot Type (PXE), NOTE: To enter the MBA Configuration menu, press Shift + F10 within five seconds after powering on your PC. If you don’t, the system will select a Windows operating system. 2. Set network remote boot. A. Enter PC BIOS. B. Select the “Boot” tab. C. Choose “MBA” as the first-priority boot device. 3.
Chapter 7: Wake on LAN (WoL) 7. Wake on LAN (WoL) The Wake on LAN function enables the adapter to recognize a wake-up frame and signal the PC to power up. Figure 7-1. Wake on LAN verify screen. The PC's motherboard must support WoL and PCIe (a wakeup link connector is not required). To disable the WoL function (default): Set the WoL jumper (J1) to the “OFF” position (see Figure 7-2, slash area). To enable the WoL function: Set the WoL jumper (J1) to the “ON” position (see Figure 7-2, slash area).
