Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

1.1 Description
Advantech PCIe-1672PC/PCIe-1674PC is a PCI Express by 2 or 4 lane with PoE
(Power over Ethernet) and jumbo frame support for independent Gigabit Ethernet
ports. Advantech GbE PoE card levrages the "Plug and Play" capability defined in the
PCI Express bus specification. The board requires one PCI Express by 2 or 4 slot
within the personal computer and provides independent Gigabit Ethernet Ports via
Intel i350 series Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Multiple Gigabit Ethernet Vision device
connections are supported for standard Gigabit Ethernet Vision data transfer rates of
up to 1000Mb per second.
PCIe-1672PC and PCIe-1674PC feature 802.3af PoE standard, combining power
supply, jumbo frame package, power isolation and IEEE 1588(precise time protocol)
to enable synchronization with multi-camera or PD acquisition.
Each port of PCIe-1672PC and PCIe-1674PC can delivers 15.4 W of power (external
12 VDC is needed) and 1000 Mb/s bandwidth over a CAT-5/CAT-6/CAT-7 cable of up
to 100 meters. It features 9 kB jumbo frame and link aggregation, which conduct
exceptional performance for continuously receiving large amount of image data.
The PoE technology significantly reduces the installation and maintenance cost by
eliminating the power wire. Combining PoE and the Gigabit bandwidth, PCIe-1672PC
and PCIe-1674PC are the perfect fit for your vision application!

Card Installation
2.1 Initial Inspection
You should find the following items inside the shipping package:
PCIe-1672PC or PCIe-1674PC unit
Driver Installation CD-ROM
2*2P / B4P Cable
We carefully inspected the PCI Express GbE PoE card series mechanically and electrically before we shipped it. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCI Express GbE PoE card series, check it for signs of shipping
damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet
specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for
inspection by the carrier. After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or
replace the unit.
When you handle the PCI Express GbE PoE card series, remove it from its pr otective
packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, store it in this package for protection.
Warning! Discharge your body's static electric charge by touching the back of the
grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.
You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such
as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to
avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a
grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat
whenever you work with it.

2.3 Card Installation
Note! We strongly recommend that you install the software driver before you
install the hardware into your system, since this will guarantee a smooth
and trouble-free installation process.
Turn off your PC's power supply whenever you install or remove the PCI
Express GbE PoE card or its cables. Static electricity can easily damage
computer equipment. Ground yourself by touching the chassis of the
computer (metal) before you touch any boards. See the static warning
on Ch.2
1. Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices (such as printers and monitors).
2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of the computer.
3. Remove the PC’s cover (refer to your user’s guide if necessary).
4. Install and plug the PCI Express GbE PoE card on your PCI Express BUS.
5. Replace the PC’s cover . Connect the cables you removed in step 3 and connect
the power connector and power supply with the power cable in the package.
6. Turn the computer power on.
7. Install the driver in PCI Expree GbE PoE CD-ROM, see chapter 3.1, 3.2 and
3.3.
8. Test your Ethernet port and verify if Ethernet port could work normally, see
chapter 4.

Chapter 3 Driver Setup and Installation
3.3 Configuring Devices for Win XP/Vista/7
PCIe-1672PC and PCIe-1674PC offer the Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via Intel®
i350 GbE controller. When connecting to a high-speed PoE device, such as a GigE
camera, you can adjust some driver settings to have better transmission throughput
and connection stability.
In this section, we’ll discuss these settings. You can refer to the information to fine
tune your system.
3.3.1 Jumbo Frame
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. By
increasing the payload size, a certain large amount of data can be transferred with
less interrupts generated, which reduces the CPU utilization and increases overall
data throughput. Intel® i350 GbE controller supports jumbo frame size of up to 9
Kbytes. When you connecting an Ethernet device with high date rate (e.x. a Gigabit
Ethernet camera), enabling jumbo frame feature is highly recommended.
After installing the driver for Intel® i350 GbE controller, you can change the jumbo
frame settings by following the steps listed below.
17 PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual
1. Open the Device Manager of Computer Management and click the right but-
ton of “Advantech PCI Express GbE PoE adapte” and select Property.
2. Click Configure button and a property dialog appears. Click on the Advanced
tab.
3. Select the Jumbo Packet settings, and select the expected jumbo frame size.
(for connecting a Ethernet device with high data rate, 9014 Bytes is suggested)
PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual 18
3.3.2 Receive Buffer
Receive buffer is another option which can affect data throughput. It determines the
size of memory buffer allocated for receiving data. Increasing size of receive buffer
can improve the performance of receiving data. The default settings of receive buffer
is 256 bytes. When connecting to an Ethernet device that generates large amount of
data, you can set this option to a larger value (maximal 2048 bytes) for better performance.
You can change the settings of receive buffer by following the steps listed below.
1. Select the Performance Options settings and click the Properties button.
Chapter 3 Driver Setup and Installation
19 PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual
2. Adjust the value of Receive Buffers. The default value is 256 Bytes. (for con-
necting a Ethernet device with high data rate, 2048 Bytes is suggested)
3.3.3 Transmit Buffers
Like receive buffer, transmit buffer can affect the performance of transmitting data.
The default settings of receive buffer is 256 bytes. If you encounter a performance
issue while transmitting data, you can adjust the size of transmit buffer to a larger
value (maximal 2048 bytes) for better performance.
You can change the settings of transmit buffer by following the steps listed below.
1. Select the Performance Options settings and click the Properties button.
