AT-2701FXa
A single port adapter card with a fiber optic connector.
AT-2701FTXa
A dual port adapter card equipped with fiber optic and copper
connectors. Using the copper interface, the card operates at 10 or
100 Mbps.
The AT-2701 series includes the following models:
AT-2701FXa/SC
AT-2701FXa/ST
AT-2701FTXa/SC

3. When you download the driver software from the Allied Telesis
website, record the path to where the driver file resides on your
system.
4. If your system is active, shut it down.
5. When system shutdown is complete, power OFF and unplug your
system.
6. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping
package and place it on an antistatic surface.
AT-2701 Series Fast Ethernet Adapter Installation Guide
7. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the
card’s edge connector.
Never attempt to install any damaged adapter card. If the adapter
card is damaged, report it to Allied Telesis. See “Contacting Allied
Telesis” on page 9.

Installing the Hardware
Replacing the Bracket
The AT-2701 series adapter card is shipped with the low-profile bracket
attached to the adapter. Depending on your system, you may need to
replace the bracket attached to your adapter card.
The following procedure describes how to remove the low-profile bracket
from the adapter card and replace it with the standard bracket. You can
also use this procedure to remove the standard bracket and replace it with
the low-profile bracket.
To replace the low-profile bracket with the standard bracket, perform the
following procedure:
1. Remove the screws that attach the bracket to the adapter card. See
Figure 6.
26
Figure 6. Removing the Low-Profile Bracket
2. Align the tabs of the standard bracket with the holes on the adapter
card and fasten the screws onto the adapter card. See Figure 7 on

Installing the Hardware
Warning
Installing a Network Adapter Card
The following instructions apply to installing an AT-2701 series adapter
card 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 network adapter card, perform the following procedure:
1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 25 and “Reviewing
Safety Precautions” on page 23.
Before installing the adapter card, ensure the system power is OFF
and unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical
grounding procedures have been followed.
High voltage inside the system presents a safety hazard. Make sure
the power is off before removing the cover.
2. Remove the system cover and select any empty PCI slot. See
Figure 8.
If you do not know how to identify a PCI slot, refer to your system
documentation.

3. Select an empty, non-shared PCI slot and remove the faceplate.
Keep the faceplate in a safe place. You may need it for future use. See
Figure 9.
Figure 9. Removing the Faceplate From PCI Slot
If you cannot locate or know how to find a PCI slot, refer to the
documentation that came with your system.
4. Remove the network adapter card from the shipping package and
store the packaging material in a safe location.
Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing the network adapter card in a system.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the card.
5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter
card until it is firmly seated in the PCI slot.
Make sure the card is securely seated. See Figure 10 on page 30.
