How to install AddOn 1Gbs Single Open SFP Port Network Interface Card

To install the AddOn NIC, follow these general steps to ensure a clean, reliable setup. Note that exact procedures may vary by server chassis and motherboard, but the process below covers typical PCIe installations used in many data center and enterprise environments.

  • Power down the server, unplug power cables, and ground yourself to prevent static damage.
  • Open the chassis and locate an available PCIe slot compatible with a PCIe 2.0 x4 card. Remove any slot covers as needed.
  • Insert the AddOn NIC firmly into the PCIe x4 slot, applying even pressure until it seats completely. Ensure no wobbling and that the card aligns with the slot.
  • Secure the card with the chassis screw to anchor it to the motherboard tray, then reassemble the chassis if required.
  • Attach an appropriate SFP transceiver module to the Open SFP port (sold separately), and connect your fiber or copper cable according to your network design.
  • Power on the server. The operating system should recognize the new PCIe NIC. If prompted, install any necessary drivers or firmware updates from the vendor or your OS provider, and configure the network interface (IP address, VLANs, etc.) in your OS or virtualization platform.
