Consult your system documentation for slot type and compatibility, ensuring there is an available slot and sufficient clearance for the card and any cooling considerations.
  • Insert the adapter: Align the notch and gently insert the Allied Telesis Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into the M.2 slot at the correct orientation. Apply even pressure until the card seats firmly.
  • Secure and connect: Secure the adapter using the mounting screw or retention mechanism specified by your system. Reattach any connectors or lids you removed during installation and ensure the system recognizes the new device during POST.
  • Install drivers and verify: Boot the system and install the latest drivers from Allied Telesis if prompted, or use the OS-provided drivers when available. Verify the link status in your operating system's network settings and confirm the 1 Gbps fiber interface is active with a stable connection to your network.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is 1000Base-X and why use it? 1000Base-X refers to Gigabit Ethernet over optical fiber, using an optical medium to transmit data at 1 Gbps. It provides high bandwidth, low electromagnetic interference, and reliable performance over multi-mode fiber, making it well-suited for data centers, enterprise networks, and environments with electrical noise concerns.
  • Is the Allied Telesis Gigabit Ethernet Adapter compatible with my operating system? The adapter is designed to integrate with standard enterprise networking stacks and common operating systems. For best results, install the latest drivers from Allied Telesis or rely on the OS for native support where available. Always verify driver availability and compatibility before deployment in production environments.
  • What does TAA compliance mean for my purchase? TAA compliance indicates the device meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements, which can simplify procurement for government agencies and organizations that must adhere to specific sourcing rules. This makes the adapter a suitable choice for public sector deployments and enterprise procurement programs.
  • Can I use this adapter as a replacement NIC? Yes. The module is described as a replacement networking interface for client machines, servers, or workstations. It’s designed to be dropped into compatible systems to restore or upgrade network connectivity without changing other components of your networking stack.
  • What installation considerations should I be aware of? Ensure your system has a compatible M.2 slot and supports optical fiber networking interfaces. Verify distance, fiber type, and connector compatibility with your network as 1000Base-X over multi-mode fiber has specific link budget requirements. Always follow manufacturer installation guidance and confirm that drivers are properly installed after hardware installation.
