knowledgeable end users. It provides information for the installation and use of the
AOC-STG-i4S add-on card.
About this Add-on Card
The STG-i4S is an advanced, market-leading 10GbE SFP+ controller. The four LAN
ports on the card provide a connection speed of 10 Gbps. The card features the
Intel® XL170-AM1 controller and is supported on the Windows and Linux operating
systems. It expands virtualization beyond the server level to the network level, and
combines with hardware optimizations and ofoads. It provides unmatched features
for virtualization, exibility for LAN and SAN networks, and reliable performance.
This is the best choice for rapid provisioning of networks in an agile data center.
This product is sold only as part of an integrated solution with Supermicro® server
systems.

An Important Note to the User
All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest PCB
revision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received may or may
not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this user's guide.
Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before
any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your ven-
dor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning the
motherboard to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed
on the outside of the shipping carton, and the shipping package is mailed prepaid
or hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that
must be mailed when service is complete. For faster service, you can also request
a RMA authorization online http://www.supermicro.com/RmaForm/.

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 the person handling it
is 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.
3-2 Before Installation
To install the add-on card properly, be sure to follow the instructions below.
1. Power down the system.
3-1
Page 18
AOC-STG-i4S Add-on Card User's Guide
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Use industry-standard anti-static equipment (such as gloves or wrist strap)
and follow the instructions 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 necessary, set aside any screws for later
use.
2. Remove the add-on card slot cover and its screw.
3. Position the add-on card in the slot directly over the connector and gently
push down on both sides of the card until it slides into the PCI connector.
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 server cover.
7. Plug in the power cord and power up the system.

Chapter 3: Installation
3-4 Installing the Drivers in Windows
Follow the steps below to install the drivers for Windows. Download the latest CDR-
NIC drivers from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/Networking_Drivers/.
1. Run the CDR-NIC drivers installation.
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.
3. Click on INSTALL DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
3-3
Page 20
AOC-STG-i4S Add-on Card User's Guide
3-5 Installing the Drivers in 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.
3-6 Building the Driver Manually
Follow the instructions below to build the driver manually.
1. Move the base driver tar le to the directory of your choice. For example, use
'/home/username/e1000' or '/usr/local/src/e1000'.
2. Untar/unzip the archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver
tar le:
tar zxf e1000-<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 e1000-<x.x.x>/src/
4. Compile the driver module:
# make install
The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.[k]o
The install location listed above is the default location. This may differ for various
Linux distributions.
5. Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe command:
modprobe e1000
insmod e1000
Note that 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/e1000/e1000.ko
3-4
Page 21
Chapter 3: Installation
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older e1000 drivers are removed from
the kernel, before loading the new module:
rmmod e1000; modprobe e1000
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where <x> is
the interface number:
ifcong eth<x> <IP_address>
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>
