Connecting to a Network
Please note: You must connect the PCI Express Fiber Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter to the network before installing the network driver.
For connector type, cabling requirements, and maximum segment
distance when connecting the PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter to
your network, please refer to the following tables.
1. Remove the protective covers from the PCI Express Fiber Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter’s connector.
2. Prepare a network cable with corresponding connectors for the two end
devices, one end to the PCI Express Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
and the other to a 1000Mbps fiber port on the network switch.
3. Connect the network cable to the connector on the PCI Express Fiber
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. This network cable consists of two individual
cables: one for ‘transmission (TX)’, and the other for ‘reception (RX)’.
4. Connect the other end of the network cable to a 1000BASE-SX/LX
switch.
5. i. Insert the cable that is connected to the transmit (TX) connector on
the PCI Express Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into the receive
(RX) connector on the network switch.
