How to use

Install the card into an appropriate PCI Express slot on a powered-off system, secure it in place according to the server or workstation chassis instructions, and connect compatible fiber optics cabling to the card's fiber interface. After powering on the host, verify that the system BIOS/UEFI recognizes the PCIe device, then install or enable the vendor or operating system network drivers. Configure link settings, VLANs, or QoS through the operating system network management tools or centralized network management software as required.

Recommendations

Use multimode or singlemode fiber and transceivers that match your network topology and distance requirements; ensure transceiver and cable types are compatible with the card's fiber interface. Maintain appropriate airflow inside the chassis for thermal stability, and keep firmware and drivers updated to preserve compatibility and performance in virtualized or high-load deployments.
