for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy a nd if not installed a nd used in accorda nce with the
instruction ma nual may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to ra dio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off a nd on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving a ntenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Notice: The changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority
to operate the equipment.

Installing the Adapter
Before installing the a dapter, you need the following:
• A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifica-
tions version 2.1 or later.
• An available PCI bus master slot in the computer
• The adapter driver diskettes (or CD supplied with the adapter)
• Fiber cables
Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot
To install the adapter in your computer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to the computer.
2. Remove the computer's cover .
3. Unscrew and remove the slot cover from the PCI bus slot.
4. Insert the adapter into the slot and secure the screw.
5. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all previously
connected cables.

Installing Mini-GBIC T ra nsce iver
A typical mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is shown as follows:
To install a fiber transceiver into the SFP slot, the steps are:
1. Insert the fiber transceiver into the mini-GBIC SFP port.
Normally, a bail is provided f or every SFP transceiver. Hold the
bail a nd make insertion.
2. Until the fiber transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place
the bail in lock position.
The mini-GBIC SFP slot supports hot-plug installation even when
the computer is powered and operating.

Connecting to the Network
The rear bracket of the PCI adapter contains two fiber connectors.
The TX connector is used for transmission and the RX is used for
reception. When connecting to a device using fiber cable, make sure
the TX connector of the adapter is connected to the RX connector
of the device a nd RX connector is connected to the TX connector of
the device.
In order to have a reliable communication between two ends, the
speed and duplex configuration of the adapter's fiber port and the
device at the remote end must be same. Configure the driver of the
adapter as follows: Auto, 1000Mbps, Full-duplex.

Network Driver Installation
After making the connection to the network, you must install the
adapter network driver in order to connect the network adapter to
your network operating system.
The ada pter driver media contain the latest versions of the network
drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the factory. A
file, \README.TXT, located in the diskette's root directory contains a list of the supported driver software and the directory structures for the supported operating environments. Please refer to this
file first before installing a ny network driver for the adapter.
Installation for Windows Systems
For adapter installation on Windows 2003 (Win2K3), the system
will detect and configure the drivers for the adapter automatically
with no need for extra driver setup. The adapter is detected as :
Win2k3 Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Giga bit Ethernet NIC
Using the Associated Drivers in the driver diskette
After driver setup, the adapter is identified as :
Realtek RTL8169/8110 Fa mily Giga bit Ethernet NIC
Link Speed/Duplex Mode options : Auto-negotiation
Installation for other Systems
Refer to \README.TXT first in the driver CD for the driver installation on other operating systems. The file contains driver information for most of the popular operating systems.

LED Indicators
The adapter has three LEDs. The interpretations of the LEDs are:
LINK LED indicates a n active 1000Mbps connection is esta blished.
On : Good link between the adapter and a remote device
Off : No connection between adapter and a remote device
Blink: Link on and traffic activities
SFP LED indicates installation status of mini-GBIC transceiver
On : A mini-GBIC SFP transceiver is installed in the SFP slot.
Off : No transceiver is installed.
OL LED indicates optical signal status
On : Optical signal is detected.
Off : No optical signal is detected.
If you experience any problems, first make sure that the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the connector,
and the connected device complies with 1000BASE-X standard.
Then recheck the LED.
