Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the add-on card, a jumper can be used to choose between
optional settings. A jumper creates shorts between two pins to change the function
of the connector. Pin 1 is identied with a square solder pad on the printed circuit
board. See the add-on card layout on page 2-2 for the jumper location.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open"
means the jumper is off the pins.

Installation
3-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your add-on card, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the add-on card from the
antistatic bag.
• Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components, or
peripheral chips.
• Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the add-on card.
Unpacking
The add-on card is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking your component or your system, make sure that you are static protected.
Note: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper installa-
tion, be sure to always connect the power cord last, and always remove it
before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
Page 20

AOC-MTG-i2S Add-on Card User's Guide
3-2 Before Installation
To install the add-on card properly, be sure to follow the instructions below.
1. Power down the system.
2. Remove the power cord from the wall socket.
3. Use industry standard anti-static equipment such as gloves or wrist strap and
follow the precautions listed on page 3-1 to avoid damage caused by ESD.
4. Familiarize yourself with the server, motherboard, and/or chassis documenta-
tion.
5. Conrm that your operating system includes the latest updates and hotxes.
3-3 Installing the Add-on Card
Follow the steps below to install the add-on card into your system.
1. Remove the server cover and, if any, set aside any screws for later use.
2. Remove the add-on card slot cover. If the slot cover has a screw, place it
aside for later use.
3. Position the add-on card in front of the SIOM slot and gently push in both
sides of the card until it slides into the slot.

card into this slot
Note: This add-on card does not support hot plug. Please turn off the AC
power and remove the power cord from the wall socket before you install
or remove the add-on card.
Page 21
3-3
Chapter 3: Installation
Follow this step to install the add-on card if your system does not support a swap-
pable bracket. Insert the SIOM card in the motherboard and then install the moth-
erboard in the chassis. An internal bracket comes with the SIOM card 1U chassis
SKU. It needs to be installed onto the chassis.
4. Secure the add-on card to the chassis. If required, use the screw that you
previously removed.
5. Attach any necessary external cables to the add-on card.
6. Replace the system cover.
7. Plug in the power cord and power up the system.

3. Click on INSTALL DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
3-5 Installing Drivers on Linux
Follow the steps below to install the driver to a Linux system.
Build a Binary RPM Package
1. Run ‘rpmbuild -tb <lename.tar.gz>’
2. Replace <lename.tar.gz> with the specic lename of the driver.
Note: For the build to work properly, the current running kernel MUST
match the version and conguration of the installed kernel sources. If you
have just recompiled the kernel, reboot the system at this time.
3-4 Installing Drivers on Windows
Follow the steps below to install the drivers for Windows. Download the drivers from
the Supermicro FTP site at ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/Networking_Drivers/.
1. Run the CDR-NIC.
2. When the SUPERMICRO window appears, click on the computer icon next to
the product model.
Note: If the FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD screen displays on your
system, click CANCEL.

Chapter 3: Installation
Follow the instructions below to build the driver manually.
1. Move the base driver tar le to the directory of your choice. For example:
/home/username/ixgbe
or
/usr/local/src/ixgbe
2. Untar/unzip archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar le:
tar zxf ixgbe-x.x.x.tar.gz
3. Change to the driver src directory, where <x.x.x> is the version number for
the driver tar:
cd ixgbe-x.x.x/src/
4. Compile the driver module:
make install
The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.[k]o
The install locations listed above are the default locations. They may not be
correct for certain Linux distributions. For more information, see the ldistrib.txt
le included in the driver tar.
Note: IXGBE_NO_LRO is a compile time ag. The user can enable it at
compile time to remove support for LRO from the driver. The ag is used
by adding CFLAGS_EXTRA=-”DIXGBE_NO_LRO” to the make le when
it’s being compiled.
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=”-DIXGBE_NO_LRO” install
5. Load the module:
For kernel 2.6.x, use the modprobe command:
modprobe ixgbe <parameter>=<value>
For 2.6 kernels, the insmod command can be used if the full path to the driver
module is specied. For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/
ixgbe/ixgbe.ko

AOC-MTG-i2S Add-on Card User's Guide
In addition, when using 2.6-based kernels, make sure that older ixgbe drivers
are removed from the kernel before loading the new module. To do this, use:
rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where x is the
interface number:
ifcong ethx <IP_address> netmask <netmask>
7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address> is the
IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is
being tested:
ping <IP_address>
3-6 Installing Drivers on FreeBSD
Follow the instructions below to install the drivers in FreeBSD kernel 4.8 or later.
In the instructions below, x.x.x is the driver version as indicated in the name of the
drive tar le.
Note: You must have kernel sources installed in order to compile the
driver module.
1. Move the base driver tar le to the dirctory of your choice. For example, use
/home/username/ixgb or /usr/local/src/ixgb.
2. Untar/unzip the archive:
tar xfz ixgb-x.x.x directory
3. To install man page:
cd ixgb-x.x.x
gzip -c ixgb.4 > /usr/share/man/man4/ixgb.4.gz
4. To load the driver onto a running system, perform the following steps:
cd ixgb-x.x.x
make
or
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
make load
5. To assign an IP address to the interface, enter the following:
Page 25
3-7
Chapter 3: Installation
ifcong ixgb<interface_num> <IP_address>
6. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address> is the
IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is
being tested:
ping <IP_address>
7. If you want the driver to load automatically when the system is booted:
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
make load
cp if_ixgb.ko /modules
Edit /boot/loader.conf, and add the following line:
if_ixgb_load="YES"
or
compile the driver into the kernel (see item 8). Edit /etc/rc.conf, and create the
appropriate ifcong_ixgb<interface_num> entry:
ifcong_ixgb<interface_num>="<ifcong_settings>"
Example usage:
ifcong_ixgb0="inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
8. If you want to compile the driver into the kernel, enter:
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
mkdir /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp if_ixgb* /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp ixgb* /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgb
cp Makele.kernel /usr/src/sys/modules/ixgb/Makele
Edit the /usr/src/sys/conf/les.i386 le, and add the following line:
dev/ixgb/ixgb_hw.c optional ixgb
dev/ixgb/ixgb_ee.c optional ixgb
dev/ixgb/if_ixgb.c optional ixgb
Remove the following lines from the /usr/src/sys/conf/les.i386 le, if they exist:
/dev/ixgb/if_ixgb_fx_hw.c optional ixgb
/dev/ixgb/if_ixgb_phy.c optional ixgb

AOC-MTG-i2S Add-on Card User's Guide
Edit the kernel conguration le (i.e., GENERIC or MYKERNEL) in /usr/src/sys/
i386/conf, and ensure the following line is present:
device ixgb
Compile and install the kernel. Reboot the system for the kernel updates to
take affect.
