The Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card is ideal for speeding up data transfers for network servers and other computers, such as those used for video-conferencing, which send and/or receive large amounts of data. [. . . ] Two LED indicators for easy diagnostic 5 Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802. 3 Ethernet, which utilizes the same packet structure, format, CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects. From the bandwidth point of view, Gigabit Ethernet has a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is also compatible with 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company's existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel. The higher packet transfer speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential when coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently developed as the computers and their busses get faster and more users use applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your subnets. Fiber Gigabit Ethernet enables Fiber cable connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC's are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. 6 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the 32/64-bit PCI Bus Gigabit fiber Ethernet card Unpacking CAUTION: Under normal condition, the 32/64-bit PCI 1000Mbps Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit. However, there are occasions that you may carry a high static charge, and this can possibly damage the card and/or your computer. It is good practice to eliminate all static electricity by touching a ground (an unpainted metal area of your computer chassis, for example) before performing any hardware installation. Open the box and carefully remove all items. In addition to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have: ??One 32/64-bit PCI 1000BASE-SX Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card. If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. 7 Installing Fiber Adapter into PCI slot Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Power off the computer and disconnect the computer power cord. Locate an empty, non-shared bus mastering 32bit or 64bit PCI slot and remove the back-plate for that slot on the chassis. If there is a screw holding the back-plate, remove it and save it for Step 6. [. . . ] A HELP. EXE file under root directory lists the information and detailed installation procedure of all the available drivers. LED INDICATORS Link This indicator lights green when the Gigabit Card is connects to 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Network. Activity (ACT) This indicator blinks green when transmitting or receiving data on the network. 9 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS General Standards Protocol Data Transfer Rate Topology Network Cables IEEE 802. 3z 1000BASE-SX compliant CSMA/CD Gigabit Ethernet: 2000Mbps (Full-Duplex) Star 50/125?m multimode fiber with SC type connector, up to 550m 62. 5/125?
