Compatibility Notes

In order for an adapter based on the XL710 controller to reach its full potential, you must install it in a PCIe

Gen3 x8 slot. Installing it in a shorter slot, or a Gen2 or Gen1 slot, will limit the throughput of the adapter.

Some older Intel(R) Ethernet Adapters do not have full software support for the most recent versions of

Microsoft Windows*. Many older Intel Ethernet Adapters have base drivers supplied by Microsoft Windows.

Lists of supported devices per OS are available at

Hardware Installation

Attaching the Low Profile Bracket (Optional)

Some adapter models come with a small bracket in the product package, to be used in a low profile slot. If you

need to install the adapter in a low-profile slot, follow these instructions.

1. Before handling the adapter, ground yourself to dissipate any static charge.

2. Remove the two screws securing the standard bracket to the back side of the adapter.

3. Slide the bracket away from the adapter.

4. Slide the low profile bracket onto the adapter.

5. Attach the low profile bracket to the adapter using the screws you removed in step 2.

6. Carefully tighten the screws until they are seated. Do not over tighten.

You may re-attach the standard sized bracket in the future if necessary.

Installing the Adapter

Selecting the Correct Slot

PCI-Express Adapters

lOne open PCI-Express slot (v1.0a or newer), x4, x8, or x16.

NOTE: The Intel® 10 Gigabit AT Server Adapter will only fit into x8 or larger PCI Express slots.

Some systems have physical x8 PCI Express slots that actually support lower speeds. Please

check your system manual to identify the slot.

PCI and PCI-X Adapters

One of the following slot types, depending on your adapter:

lOne open PCI bus master slot, 32-bit or 64-bit, operating at 33 or 66 MHz

lOne open PCI-X slot operating at 66, 100 or 133 MHz(recommended)

NOTE: The PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server adapter requires a 3.3 volt only slot. It cannot be

installed in a 5.0 volt or universal slot.

If you have configuration problems, see your computer's documentation to determine if the PCI slots are bus

master-enabled. If you get a PCI or PCI-X configuration error, select Troubleshooting in the Table of Contents.

Insert the Adapter into the Computer

1. If your computer supports PCI Hot Plug, see your computer documentation for special installation

instructions.

2. Shut down the operating system (if it's running).

3. Turn off and unplug your computer. Then remove the cover.

CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the power before removing the computer's cover. Failure to

do so could endanger you and may damage the adapter or computer.

4. Remove the cover bracket from an appropriate slot.

5. Insert the adapter, pushing it into the slot until the adapter is firmly seated.

lIf you install a 64-bit PCI adapter in a 32-bit slot, the adapter will still function, but the end of the

edge connector will be exposed and not connected. If this is the case, make sure the exposed

contacts do not touch anything that would cause an electrical problem.

lIf you are installing a PCI-Express adapter, be aware that you can install a smaller PCI-Express

adapter in a larger PCI-Express slot.

6. Secure the adapter bracket with a screw, if required.

7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each additional adapter to be installed.

8. Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord.

9. Turn the power on and start your operating system.

Attaching Cables

Intel® Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Network Adapters using copper connections automatically accommodate either

MDI or MDI-X connections. The auto-MDI-X feature of Intel Gigabit Network adapters allows you to directly

connect two adapters without using a cross-over cable.

To ensure compliance with CISPR 24 and the EU's EN55024, Intel® 10 Gigabit Server Adapters and

Connections should be used only with CAT 6a shielded cables that are properly terminated according to the

recommendations in EN50174-2.

Attach an RJ45 Network Cable

Cable types

Use one of the following types of network cabling, depending on your adapter and the intended use:

NOTE: If you are using this adapter in a residential environment (at any speed), use Category 5 or

better wiring. If the cable runs between rooms or through walls and/or ceilings, it should be

plenum-rated for fire safety.

lMaximum lengths for Intel® 10 Gigabit Server Adapters and Connections that use 10GBASE-T on Cat-

egory 6, Category 6a, or Category 7 wiring, twisted 4-pair copper:

lMaximum length for Category 6 is 55 meters.

lMaximum length for Category 6a is 100 meters.

lMaximum length for Category 7 is 100 meters.

lTo ensure compliance with CISPR 24 and the EU's EN55024, Intel® 10 Gigabit Server

Adapters and Connections should be used only with CAT 6a shielded cables that are properly

terminated according to the recommendations in EN50174-2.

lFor 1000 Mbps operation (1000BaseT), use Category 5 or better (must be 4-pair wiring). Make sure you

use Category 5 cable that complies with the TIA-568 wiring specification.

NOTE: To insure compliance with CISPR 24 and the EU’s EN55024, devices based on

the 82576 controller should be used only with CAT 5E shielded cables that are properly ter-

minated according to the recommendations in EN50174-2.

lFor 100 Mbps operation (100BaseTX), use Category 5 wiring or better.

lFor 10 Mbps operation (10BaseT), use Category 3 wiring or better.

lIn all cases:

lSegment length is limited to 100 meters (328 feet, 1 inch).

lThe adapter must be connected to a compatible link partner, and may be set to auto-negotiate

speed and duplex.

lFor more information on this specification, see the Telecommunications Industry Association's web-

site: www.tiaonline.org.

CAUTION: If using less than 4-pair cabling, you must manually configure the speed and

duplex setting of the adapter and the link partner. In addition, with 2- and 3-pair cabling the

adapter can only achieve speeds of up to 100Mbps.

Insert the twisted pair, RJ45 network cable as shown.

CX4

Physical cabling characteristics for the Intel® CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter must meet IEEE Std 802.3ak,

Clause 54 specifications. The required cable connector is an MDI latch-type receptacle, as defined by IEC

61076-3-113.

The IEEE standard defines a worst-case cable length of 15 meters, based on 100 O, twinaxial cable

characteristics. However, commercial cable manufacturers may offer enhanced products that will permit

successful operation over greater distances.

Fiber Optic Cabling

Remove and save the fiber optic connector cover. Insert a fiber optic cable into the ports on the network

adapter bracket as shown.

Most connectors and ports are keyed for proper orientation. If the cable you are using is not keyed, check to

be sure the connector is oriented properly (transmit port connected to receive port on the link partner, and vice

versa).

The adapter must be connected to a compatible link partner that is operating at the same laser wavelength as

the adapter.

CAUTION: The fiber optic ports contain a Class 1 laser device. When the ports are disconnected,

always cover them with the provided plug. If an abnormal fault occurs, skin or eye damage may res-

ult if in close proximity to the exposed ports.

Connecting Fiber Optic SC Cables

The connection requirements are as follows:

lLaser wavelength: 850 nanometer (not visible).

lSX Cable type:

lMulti-mode fiber with 50 micron core diameter; maximum length is 550 meters.

lMulti-mode fiber with 62.5 micron core diameter; maximum length is 275 meters.

lConnector type: SC.
