2.3 Card Installation
The MIC-3666 is a PCI Express bus master XMC module. It can be installed only in a
CompactPCI
TM
board which supports XMC interface. Improper installation of a card
can easily damage the backplane of the chassis. The MIC-3666 install guide helps
you to install the MIC-3666 into an XMC carrier:
To install a card:
1. Shut off the system power.
2. Connect the MIC-3666 to the CompactPCI
TM
CPU board’s PCI Express mezza-
nine connector and attach it with four screws.
3. Connect the SFP+ cable to the connector on the front panel.
4. Power on the system.
5. Configure your system using the network driver appropriate to your operating
system.
2.4 Front Panel LED Indicators
There are two diagnostic LEDs on the front panel. These LEDs show the operating
status of the MIC-3666.
 ACT: When the LED is green (blinking), it indicates active data transfer.
 LINK: When the LED is yellow (steady), it indicates the link between the hub/
switch and the adapter is established.

2.5 Driver/Utility Installation
The MIC-3666 supports PCI Express plug and play. BIOS automatically detects the
MIC-3666 while booting, and assigns an IRQ level and I/O address. No jumper or
switch is required for user configuration. The MIC-3666 uses one Intel
®
82599ES 10
Gigabit Ethernet controller chip. Thus it is software-compatible with Intel’s
®
PROSet
utility.
