Installing and configuring the Netfinity adapter card for Windows 2000
The following section describes how to download, install, and configure the Netfinity
adapter card for Windows 2000.
Installing the Netfinity adapter card for Windows 2000
This section provides instructions for installing the Netfinity adapter card for the
Windows 2000 host system.
1. Obtain an optical multimode cable with a standard-connector style of duplex
connector.
2. Write down the serial number of the adapter card.
In the unlikely event that the nonvolatile random access memory is damaged,
the system will prompt you for the Netfinityadapter serial number.
3. Check the system board and make any configuration changes necessary to
accommodate the Netfinity adapter.
4. Turn off the peripheral devices and then the host.
5. Disconnect the power cord.
6. Remove the cover to the host.
7. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports 32- or 64-bit adapters.
You can install the adapter in a 64-bit PCI slot if one is available. If a 64-bit
slot is not available, use a 32-bit PCI slot.
8. Align the adapter with the expansion slot, and carefully press the adapter into
the slot until you hear the adapter snap into place.
9. Secure the adapter.
10. Connect one end of the fiber cable from the devices to the J1 connector on the
adapter.
