Safety Precautions
To protect yourself from injuries and avoid damage of the device, always observe the following
safety instructions when installing the network adapter.
Avoiding injuries
Electrical current!
Electrical current from power, phone, and communications cables can be hazardous.
Never touch any electrical elements with bare hands.
To avoid potential shock hazards:
• Do not carry out any installation, maintenance, or (re)conguration work during a
thunderstorm.
• Do not connect or disconnect any power cables during a thunderstorm.
• For installation into systems which are supporting Hot-Plug and will be not disconnected
from electrical power system read the relevant documentation rst.
• Do not connect the network adapter to a telephone line.
Electrical installations must comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are
operated.
Avoiding damage
Electrostatic discharge!
Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy the Network adapter.
To avoid damaging the S2Konnect N-3010AVB Network adapter observe the following:
• Switch off the computer.
• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
• Remove the computer cover.
• Before installing the network adapter, put on an antistatic wrist strap (electrically conduc tive).
• Connect the wrist strap to the computer chassis
Do not connect the wrist straps to the ground terminal of the power supply!
Faulty wiring could make this terminal live and potentially lethal.
• When you are ready to install the network adapter, open the antistatic bag.
• Hold the antistatic packaging of the network adapter against the bracket of an expansion
slot on your computer for at least two seconds.
This reduces the static charge in the packaging and in your body.
If you need to place the network adapter somewehre after removing it from the antistatic
bag, make sure you place it on the antistatic bag and on a level surface.
Do not place the network adapter on the computer cover or on any other metal surface.
• Cautiously insert the adapter into the corresponding slot.
Do not touch any circuits on the network adapter or any of its port contacts.
In general, observe the following:
• Never use force when working with the network adapter or the PCI Express bus.
• Do not allow anyone else to touch the network adapter.
• Avoid unnecessary movement since this can increase electrostatic charge.

Installation of the S2Konnect N-3010AVB
Network Adapter
The installation procedure in Hot-Plug systems may differ from the following. For Hot-Plug systems, read the corresponding documentation. Have the computer manual ready and if necessary,
a key and screwdriver to open the cover and remove the bracket.
To install the adapter in the computer, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the computer in wich the network adapter is to be installed.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
Observe the safety instructions (see page 7).
3. Open the computer cover as described in your computer manual.
You may need a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the screws from the cover.
If you are installing a network adapter in a tower computer, we recommend to put the com-
puter on its side in order to apply the correct force to insert the adapter into the PCI Express slot.
4. Consult the section in your computer manual that describes how to install expansion cards.
5. Locate a free PCI Express slot on the motherboard.
S2Konnect PCI Express adapters can be installed in x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots.

Follow the instruction in your computer manual.
7. Remove the network adapter from the antistatic bag.
Observe the safety instructions (see page 7).
8. Insert the network adapter into the PCI Express slot as described in your computer manual
(also see gure 1 “Insertion of the adapter into the computer“).
Make sure the network adapter is correctly aligned with the PCI Express slot on the motherboard.
9. Push the network adapter down vertically into the slot until it is rmly seated.
10. If available, tighten the locking screw on the xing bracket until the adapter is rmly connec ted to the computer cover (or to the attachment provided for expansion cards).
