Cabling Requirements:

Intel 1 Gigabit adapters

• For 1000BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, Use Category 5 or Category5e wiring, twisted 4-pair copper:
  • Make sure you use Category 5 cabling that complies with the TIA-568 wiring specification For more information on this specification.
  • Length is 100 meters max.
  • Category 3 wiring supports only 10Mbps
  • 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, with2-and3-pair cabling the adapter can only achieve speeds of up to 100Mbps
• For 100BASE-TX.use Category 5 wiring.
• For10BASE-T.use Category 3 or 5wiring

Hardware installation:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord
2. Remove the computer cover and the adapter slot cover from the slot that matches your adapter
3. Insert the adapter edge connector into the slot and secure the bracket to the chassis
4. Replace the computer cover ,then plug in the power cord
5. Power on the computer
