Installation
If you do not have the expertise to install the device correctly, please contact
an expert or a specialist workshop and let them carry out the installation!
Improper installation damages the plug-in card as well as your computer and
all connected devices.
Switch off the computer in which the plug-in card is to be installed and all con-
nected devices and disconnect all devices from the mains voltage; remove
the plugs from the mains supply! Just turning off at the on/off switch is not
enough!
• Open your computer's housing and carefully remove the cover.
• Locate a free PCI-E slot; remove the corresponding slot bracket and insert the card into the
PCI-E slot. Screw the plug-in card fi rmly in place.
If you need to install the plug-in card in a fl at computer housing, a low-profi le slot
bracket is enclosed. Remove the long slot bracket from the plug-in card and then
mount the low-profi le slot plate.
• Close the computer housing.
• Connect the computer and monitor to the mains voltage again and switch on all devices.
• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all the settings
and cable connections.
Before opening the PC again, disconnect it from the mains voltage, see above!
Driver Installation
www.conrad.com
Windows detects the plug-in card automatically. Cancel the automatic search for drivers or the
hardware recognition.
Version 06/13
Insert the supplied data carrier into the respective drive of your computer.
The required drivers are in the directory "Realtek \ RTL8111", in the subdirectory for the cor-
responding operating system, e.g. "Windows 7".
Start the "Setup.exe" program and follow all instructions from the software or from Windows.
After the driver has been installed, it is necessary to restart before the plug-in card can work
correctly.
Tips and Notes
• Gigabit LAN requires at least fully wired CAT5e network cables (all 8 wires are necessary for
a connection).
• The "LINK/ACT" LED on the plug-in card indicates data transmission (LED fl ashes) and an
available connection to the network (LED on).
• The LED for "1000M" is lit when there is an active gigabit network connection.
• If you have a network or system administrator for your network (in a large company, for
example), please allow this person to take the responsibility for installation and confi guration.
Do install the plug-in card yourself.
• The stated maximum data transfer rate of 1000 MBit, equivalent to approximately
125 MBytes/s, is never attained in practice. This is due to the communication method used,
transmission errors, other devices in the network etc.
However, much higher data rates than on 100Mbit networks are possible depending on the
computer & network in use.
• With Windows, it might take some time until the PCs appear on the network.
Normally, you cannot access another PC immediately after you have switched on the PCs
and Windows is loaded on all PCs.
If, after a few minutes, it is still not possible to access other PCs, check any fi rewall and/or
virus scanner settings that may be used.
Naturally, the access permissions also have to be set accordingly, if you are using an operat-
ing system that offers such features.
Consult the applicable operating instructions, when using a network printer or other devices
in the network.
There are numerous causes explaining why a network connection is not successful. Please
refer to the appropriate specialist literature or to a specialist technician.
• If you are not using a DHCP Server (e.g. integrated in all DSL-routers), you should assign a
static IP address to each device within the network.
For example, set the router to 192.168.1.1, set the fi rst computer to 192.168.1.2, the second
computer to 192.168.1.3, and so on.
The fi rst three digits must be the same on all computers; the last digit can range from 1 to
254.
The additionally required "subnet mask" has to be set to 255.255.255.0 for all the computers
in the network.
Disposal
Please keep in mind that an IP address (such as 192.168.1.1) can only be used
once in the network. When you set your router to the IP address 192.168.1.1, no
other device in the network can use this IP address!
Electrical and electronic devices should not be disposed of in the household
waste.
Dispose of unserviceable products in accordance with the relevant statutory
regulations.
