This adapter features a mini-GBIC fiber connector (SFP) for a 1000
Mbps IEEE 802.3z Ethernet network connection over optical fiber
cable. The series provides different fiber transceiver types support-
ing short, middle, and long reach applications.

Installing the Adapter
Before installing the adapter, 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 Transceiver
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 for every SFP transceiver. Hold the
bail and 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 and 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.
10
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 adapter 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 con-
tains a list of the supported driver software and the directory struc-
tures for the supported operating environments. Please refer to this
file first before installing any 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 Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Using the Associated Drivers in the driver diskette
After driver setup, the adapter is identified as :
Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit 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 instal-
lation on other operating systems. The file contains driver informa-
tion for most of the popular operating systems.
11
LED Indicators
The adapter has three LEDs. The interpretations of the LEDs are:
LINK LED indicates an active 1000Mbps connection is established.
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 appropri-
ate driver is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the connector,
and the connected device complies with 1000BASE-X standard.
Then recheck the LED.
