Installation of a Server Card requires hardware installation
first, then software installation. The Server Card requires
a 5-volt (not 3.3-volt) PCI connection and enough room
behind the connector to accommodate a full-length card.
Most computers are equipped with 5-volt PCI connectors
and if your computer is not, the Server Card will not fit into
the slot.
Unpack and Inspect
CAUTION:
Under ordinary circumstances, the Server Card will
not be affected by static charge as may be received
through your body during handling of the unit. In
special circumstances where you may carry an
extraordinarily high static charge, it is good practice
to reduce the charge by touching a ground before
handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In
addition to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have:
•
One Ethernet Adapter Server Card.
•
Server Card Software CD.
Install the Adapter
