DEVICE DRIVERS:

In addition to AEI device drivers being embedded in most of the popular operating systems, AEI also

provides driver support for numerous platforms, architectures, and operating systems. We constantly

update these drivers as necessary, and offer complimentary PhobosLink Software. PhobosLink

provides for port aggregation, failover, and load balancing. Those using the PhobosLink Software must

load the appropriate AEI device driver.

Chapter 2 -INSTALLING NETWORK HARDWARE

This chapter describes how to install the AEI ETHERNET CARD in your computer and connect it

to a network.

INSPECTING THE AEI ETHERNET CARD

Before installing the AEI ETHERNET CARD in your computer, inspect the AEI ETHERNET

CARD for obvious damage that may have occurred in shipping.

The package should contain the following items:

•AEI™ P100SC network interface card (NIC)

•P100SC Driver Suite

•Boot ROM(s), if ordered separately.

If you find any omissions or damage, contact your network supplier and the carrier that delivered

the package immediately.

INSTALLING THE HARDWARE

Follow these steps to install the P100SC.

PREPARE THE P100SC CARD AND THE SERVER

1. Unpack and inspect the P100SC card for damage.

CAUTION:

The AEI ETHERNET CARD is packed in an anti-static caddy to protect it from static

charges and mechanical damage. Before removing the AEI ETHERNET CARD from the

box, touch the metal chassis of your computer. You can maintain grounding by wearing a

wrist ground strap attached to the chassis.

2. Exit all open applications and user processes.

3. Shut the computer down.

4. Turn off the power to the server and attached devices.

5. Unplug the power cable from the power source.

6. Remove the computer cover from the server.(You may need to refer to the

documentation that accompanied the computer for detailed instructions for removing the

cover and adding PCI cards.)

7. Locate an empty PCI-bus expansion slot.

CAUTION:

Ground yourself to the computer chassis to prevent static discharge.

Windows NT

INSTALL THE P100SC CARD

1. Remove the metal expansion slot cover and screw from the chassis.(Save the slot cover

in case you remove the card in the future and do not wish to replace it.)

2. Insert the P100SC card into the PCI-bus expansion slot. Press down firmly on the card to

seat it properly.

3. Use the screw removed earlier to secure the P100SC card bracket to the system chassis.

4. Replace the system cover.

5. Reconnect the server power cable, and turn on power to the server.

CONNECTING THE P100SC TO ETHERNET

1. Use 62.5/125 ∝m multi-mode fiber cables with SC connectors.

2. Align the keyways with the “key ” on the connector and put the connectors onto the ports

until the connectors click into place.

3. The green Link LED should be solidly lit. If the Link LED does not light, see the

Troubleshooting section for suggestions. The amber TX LED will flash as packets are

transmitted to the network.

4. To disconnect a cable, simply pull the SC connector away from the card.
