Before you install an adapter card, do the following:

1. Check that your system has an appropriate open PCIe slot.
2. For the PoE feature, check that you system has an appropriate SATA

or IDE power connector available on your system power supply
harness.

3. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS.
4. If your system is active, shut it down.
5. When system shutdown is complete, power OFF and unplug your

system.

6. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping

package and place it on an antistatic surface.

7. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the

card’s edge connector.

damaged, report it to Allied Telesis. See “Contacting Allied Telesis” on
