Connecting the Adapter to a Network

To install the SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet PCI Express network adapter, refer to the

instructions for installing a PCI card in the user’s or owner’s guide that came with the

SGI system.

To connect the adapter to a network, do the following:

1. Remove the protective end caps and save them.

Caution: 10-Gbit optics are very sensitive. If you plan on leaving them

disconnected for any length of time, you must replace the end caps. The optics on

the SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet PCI Express network adapter cannot be cleaned.

2. Insert the LC connector on one end of the ﬁber-optic cable into the adapter, as

shown in Figure 2-1 Ensure that the connector is inserted completely into the jack.

Note: If the network connects to an Ethernet switch, consult the operating

manual for the switch to ensure that the switch port is enabled and conﬁgured

correctly and has the correct adapter type (10GBASE-SR).

3. Insert the connector on the other end of the ﬁber-optic cable into the connector on

the Ethernet switch, or another computer system (as appropriate).

Figure 2-1 shows the ﬁber optic connectors for the card.
