Installation
WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged
by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com recommends that you
wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static
strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a
large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be
careful to handle the PCI Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the computer power before installation.
2. Remove the chassis cover from your computer.
3. Locate an unused PCI Express slot and remove the corresponding slot cover from
the rear panel of the computer chassis. Retain the screw (if applicable) used to hold
the slot cover in place.
4. Align the PCI Express card with the unused PCI Express expansion slot. Applying
pressure evenly across the top edge of the expansion card, rmly but gently insert the
card into the slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned with the rear panel slot.
5. Secure the card to the motherboard and rear chassis using the screw removed in
step 3 (if necessary).
6. Replace the chassis cover (removed in step 2).
7. Power on the computer. Once the computer has been rebooted, the operating
system will detect that the PCI Express card has been installed and request driver
installation, detailed in the next section.

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.
Connector Type on Fiber
Adapter
SC/ST Multi-mode, 62/125 µm 55m
Connector Type on Fiber
Adapter
SC/ST Single-mode, 10/125 µm 10 km
SC/ST Single-mode, 10/125 µm 10 km
SC/ST Single-mode, 10/125 µm 50 km
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 ber 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 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.
ii. Insert the cable that is connected to the receive (RX) connector on the PCI Express
Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into the transmit (TX) connector on the network switch.
6. When the cable is properly connected to two end devices, turn on the power to the PC.
7. Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will come on when the PCI Express Fiber Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter is receiving a good link signal from the connected device, a switch.
