relative position of the intended PCI slot.
This information is helpful when you are installing the
network drivers and connecting the cables to the hub or
switch. The MAC address is the 12-digit hexadecimal
number printed on the small bar code label on the
component side of the NIC.

a Remove the metal expansion slot cover from the chassis.
Save the screw for step c .
b Insert the NIC in the PCI-bus expansion slot.
Press down gently and firmly on the NIC to seat
it properly.
c Use the screw removed in step a to secure the NIC
backplate to the system chassis.
d Replace the computer cover.
e Connect the power cables and turn on the power to
the server.
f Connect the NIC to the network.
Use 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm multimode fiber-optic
cable with SC duplex connectors. (Refer to
Appendix C
for cabling details.)
If your site’s network installation procedures require
you to verify that installed hardware is functional before
you install software, run the DOS Configuration and
Diagnostics Program before installing the driver. See
Chapter 5 .
