DFE-500FX Fast Ethernet Adapter, with Fiber Optic Interface, for PCI Bus
Installation 4
Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s
contacts are fully seated in the connector.
3. Install the bracket screw which secures the card to the computer
chassis.
4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.
5. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch computer
power on. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program
is Plug-and-Play compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will
automatically configure any newly installed DFE-500FX
adapter.
NOTE: Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it
happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is
assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned
to another device. In such a case, the conflict of
Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both
devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup
utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt
Number.
Connecting the Network Cable
Multimode (62.5/125µm or 50/125µm) fiber cabling with an IEEE
recommended SC connector is required for the adapter. Use either
one duplex SC connector, or two simplex SC connectors, and
observe the correct relationship between the receive (Rx) and
transmit (Tx) ports on the adapter and repeater. If there is a need to
monitor the adapter’s faceplate LEDs, make the rear of the PC or
workstation accessible and leave sufficient clearance for cabling and
service. The maximum length of fiber cable between any station and
its supporting hub is 2,000 meters at full-duplex and 412 meters at
half-duplex.
