Installation
If you do not have any specialist knowledge about installation please have
installation carried out by a professional or a corresponding specialist work-
shop.
The plug in card as well as your computer and all connected devices will be
damaged by improper installation.
Switch off the computer in which the plug in card is to be inserted and all
connected devices and disconnect all devices from the power supply. Pull
out the mains plug. Simply turning off the devices using the on/off switch
does not mean a device is voltage-free!
• Open your computer's case and remove the lid carefully.
• Look for a free PCIe slot, remove the .corresponding slot bracket and insert the card
into the PCIe slot. Screw the plug in card tightly (if necessary the computer casing
used by you offers screwless assembly).
A short slot bracket is included to install the plug in card into a flat computer
casing. Remove the long slot bracket from the plug in card and afterwards
install the short slot bracket.
• Reclose your computer's case.
• Reconnect the computer and monitor to the supply voltage and switch on all de-
vices.
• If your computer does not start up normally, turn it off immediately and check all
settings and cable connections.
This should be disconnected from the supply voltage before reopening the
computer, see above.
Driver installation
Windows automatically recognises the plug in card. Interrupt the automatic search for
the drivers or the hardware recognition.
Install the data carriers delivered in the corresponding drive of your computer.
Install the driver from the respective subdirectory to the operating system used by
you, e.g. "Windows 7".
A restart is necessary on connecting the driver installation before the plug in card
functions faultlessly.
Tips and notes
• At least fully wired CAT5e network cables are required for the Gigabit LAN (all 8
cables are needed for a connection).
• If you have a specific network or system administrator (perhaps in a larger com-
pany) for your network, allow them to take on the installation and configuration. Do
not install the plug in card yourself into the computer.
• The maximum data transfer rate of 1000MBit, in other words approximately
125MByte/s, is never reached in practical operation. This is due to the transmission
technology used, to transfer errors, to other devices in the network etc.
However, much higher data rates are possible than with 100Mbyte networks de-
pending on the computers and networks used.
• With windows it can take some time until the computer is visible in the network.
If you have switched on the computer and windows is loaded onto all computers
after a few seconds, normally you can't access other computers immediately.
The settings of the firewall used or a virus scanner should be checked if after a
several minutes access is still not possible.
Of course the access rights must be correspondingly set in case you use operating
systems with such features.
Please note the instruction manual when accessing a network printer or other de-
vice.
There are numerous reasons why no network connection can be achieved. Please
note the corresponding specialist literature or ask a specialist.
• Provided you do not use any DHCP server (e.g. integrated into all DSL routers), you
should allocate an individual fixed IP address to each device in the network.
For instance set the router to 192.168.1.1 , the first computer to 192.168.1.2, the sec-
ond computer to 192.168.1.3 etc.
The first three figures must be the same on all computers, the last figure should take
on the values from 1 to 254.
Otherwise the required "Subnet Mask" should be set at 255.255.255.0 on all comput-
ers and devices in the network.
Please ensure that an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is only used once in the network.
No other device may use this IP address in the network if you have set your router
to the IP address 192.168.1.1.
• The yellow LED shows a LAN connector (LED lights up: LAN connection available,
LED does not light up: LAN connection is interrupted).
The green LED flashes when data is being transferred.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic devices do not belong in the household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with ap-
plicable regulatory guidelines.
