Installing the Asanté GigaNIC
▲ Keep all rubber caps for future use, When not connected
and not in use, the rubber caps should be reinstalled to
protect the optics.
▲ If the SC connector is not properly seated, a network
connection will not be achieved.
▲ Warning : The Asanté GigaNIC adapter for PCI uses
lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. These
signals conform to FDA, UL, and TUV standards for Class
I (inherently eye-safe) lasers. This is an eye-safe laser
(FDA CHRH21-1040 and IEC 825 Class 1), but staring
directly into the transceiver should be avoided.
