Page 12: Unpack And Inspect
Installation of a Server Card requires hardware installation first, then software installation. The Server Card requires a 5-volt (not 3.3-volt) PCI connection and enough room behind the connector to accommodate a full-length card. Most computers are equipped with 5-volt PCI connectors and if your computer is not, the Server Card will not fit into the slot. -
Page 13: Connect The Network Cable
10m in general, but is 100m when both switches qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet switches do qualify). However, these cable runs may need to be shorter than the given individual maximum lengths, because their lengths are globally restricted by the rule that the maximum aggregated cable run between any two stations is 205m. -
Page 14: Connecting For Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)
Connecting for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet operation. The maximum cable run between the Server Card and the supporting switch is 100m. The cable must be straight (not a crossover cable), with a RJ-45 plug at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 jack of the Server Card and the other end into a port of the supporting switch. -

Page 16: Status And Statistics
Status and Statistics At any time, you can instantly gauge the status of any port in a Server Card array, and review performance statistics on each array or individual ports. To view the status information, reload the Network Control applet and view the properties of the Server Card following the steps below. - Page 17 Green Adapter – Adapter is working properly and has not failed. Green Adapter with Red X – Adapter has stopped working for the first time since the server was booted. Yellow Adapter – Adapter has gone down at least once since the last boot.

Page 18: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting If you experience any problems with the Server Card, first verify that the appropriate driver has been loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and that the supporting switch or workstation is functioning properly. Ascertain that the adapter is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector. - Page 19 The Server Card features three LED indicators to assist in the resolving of network diagnostics: 100M Speed Indicator is located in the upper-left corner of each port. This LED lights green (ON) when 100Mbps speed is selected and dark (OFF) when 10Mbps is negotiated. LINK/ ACT Indicator is located in the upper-right corner of each port.
