Key specifications
Connectivity technology: Wired Ethernet
Host interface: PCI slot
Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
Physical weight: 0.088 kg
How to use
Power off the computer and open the case according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Locate an available PCI slot, remove the corresponding slot cover on the chassis, and insert the card firmly into the PCI connector until it is seated. Secure the card with the chassis screw, close the case, and reconnect power. After booting, install any required drivers provided by the operating system or the card vendor to ensure full Gigabit functionality and optimal performance. Connect a Category 5e or higher Ethernet cable to the card’s RJ45 port and to the network switch or router.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and ensure the connected network equipment (switch, router) supports Gigabit speeds. Keep device drivers up to date and place the PC in a location with adequate airflow; the card itself does not require additional power connectors. In mixed-network environments, verify duplex and speed settings if interoperability issues occur.
