How to install Allied Telesis AT-DNC10LC-901

• Prepare the host system by powering down, disconnecting power sources, and grounding yourself to prevent static discharge before handling internal components.
• Identify an appropriate PCIe expansion slot that matches the card’s interface requirements and provides sufficient bandwidth for 10G operation, typically PCIe x4 or higher.
• Remove the chassis blanking plate or slot cover if needed, and align the AT-DNC10LC-901 with the slot, ensuring the connector is straight and the card sits fully seated in the PCIe slot.
• Secure the card bracket to the chassis with the appropriate screw to guarantee stable mounting and proper grounding within the enclosure.
• Connect the LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the card’s LC connector, taking care to avoid sharp bends and keeping connectors clean to preserve optical performance.
• Reconnect power, boot the system, and install any required Allied Telesis drivers or management utilities. Verify link status, safety of fiber connections, and 10G performance through your network management tool or CLI.
• Update firmware and drivers as recommended by Allied Telesis to ensure optimal compatibility with your host platform and other network devices, followed by a routine validation of throughput and latency under typical workloads.
